See tweeters, the pits? (5)

I believe the answer is:

caves

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the pits?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both natural objects as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'see tweeters' is the wordplay.
'see' becomes 'c' (the word for the letter, according to Chambers).
'tweeters' becomes 'aves' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'c'+'aves'='CAVES'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for caves that I've seen is " Underground chambers".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
