Installed Eton's, think I messed it up (pic attached)

Hey guys,

I put the Eton's in this weekend and I wasn't paying attention when I plugged in the tweeters. Are my wires in the right place? Or should the tweeter be plugged in at the 'top'? Tweeter wire is yellow. Photo is drivers side, passenger side is identical (tweeter at 'bottom').

It doesn’t matter which plug goes in which slot!!! What!!!??? The speaker’s 2 internal wires are common to both slots.

Mid and tweeter are wired in parallel, so plug doesn't matter. Tweeter just has a high pass filter in line (that black lump on the wire). FYI some older BMWs have a 3 pin connector for the tweeter. Does anyone know why?

Sweet thanks guys, with Etons in front and JLs in the back it sounds great.
