a tweeter is just a small speaker that plays ultra high notes.
some ppl put it in the kickpod, sum put it on dash, some ppl put it in pillars, some ppl put it in doors.

Tweeter
A small driver dedicated to high-frequency reproduction. Cone tweeters are efficient and the most economical. Dome or "edge-driven" tweeters are the type found in most home speakers; they disperse their sound over a wider area for smoother, more accurate reproduction. Semi-dome (or balanced-dome) tweeters use a combination cone and dome construction, for excellent clarity and sound dispersion.

taken from crutchfield:
Tweeters are made from a variety of materials -- paper, aluminum, titanium, or synthetic films such as polyetherimide (PEI) or Kaladex (polyethylene naphthalate). It's best to listen to a variety of tweeters to determine which one you prefer.

Good stuff to read and learn, and in my opinion, the lessons you learn the most are the ones you experience. Hands on, gettin' dirty, gettin' burned, gettin' "educated", is life in a nutshell.
