door speakers

ClrdFrTakeOff · 03-08-2012, 10:51 PM

I just put a component set by Focal in my car running on a 2 channel small amp and a Kicker Hideaway in the back. Man 1st of all the clarity out of those speakers is AMAZING and they weren't too pricey either... I think like $140... Then that Kicker in the back... WOW!!! I couldn't be happier. I should probably see what size my door speakers were though because I was able to make them work. I took a few pics too That I can load up if interested.

Thanks for making the comment about not wanting to have an imbalance with Ohms. However, believe it or not, but the factory does!! When I pulled the door speakers out and then the tweeters, one is a 4ohm and the other a 2......What gives????? Don't have a degree in all things electrical..

Could be that they go to a factory crossover to balance out the load for the factory head unit. Unless your talking about bose which I do not want to go there

Bigaudiofanat,
Non Bose system. Don't want to turn this into a long dialogue, but does the factory have a hidden crossover between the stock door and upper tweeter sections? Have bypassed all of these due to new wiring, but if you were just splicing into the stock wiring, couldn't this create a nightmare?
Just received my JL audio amp and my new CD receiver is supposed to be here this coming Tues. Hope to have he entire system up and running by Thurs.
Appreciate the comments and suggestions you always offer...
Pat

I have not confirmed that there is HOWEVER it is never a bad thing to run new wires especially sense the tweeter wire and the door wire are connected to the same wire comping from the head unit.
