Disconnecting tweeters when replacing door speakers with components?


Matt Lavallee. Michael Albonese. Frank Mallette. Raghu Yedatore Unregistered guest. Audio was ok for 4 weeks or so till I lost a factory front speaker. Excellent mid-hi frequency response overall. Low frequency really sucks!

When I raise the volume I see the woofer cones vibrating only to hear distortion and minimal bass. What I have done: 1. To mount the speaker on the rear deck, I could use only two screws as all the holes do not align 2.

I have removed the front door panel and the cardboard where speaker grilles are mounted from rear deck. Would this cause problems? Is the problems with Pioneers?

Should I try something else? Am I doing something wrong? I am afraid to say that factory speakers output better low frequency. Is polk 2-way better than Pioneer 4-way? Should you need photos, I can upload them and send the link.

Thank you in advance. You're not putting enough power to the speakers causing them to play like crap. Think of it like putting 50 octance gas in your car. You need at least Think of it like putting 50 octane gas in your car.

My point is factory speakers sounded better than these with the same head unit. I don't want an external amp. My HU delivers 22watts RMS into 4 ohms load, which in my opinion is sufficient to give out fairly decent low's. Sure, I am not comparing them to dedicated sub woofers. Not sure what's wrong, will figure out and post my findings.

My guess at this point is the speakers are not mounted correctly to give enough "enclosure" which is essential to produce lows. Thank you. You are far, far below the voltage needed to drive that load. If you don't want aftermarket power, don't buy aftermarket speakers. I did not notice any drop off in bass, but I noticed the better speakers did not play quite as loud. Although, the difference was not as pronounced as I expected since the factory speakers were rates at 60W max whereas the new ones were W max.

It sounds like the problem could be quite deeper than just adding an amp. I'm actually done arguing this point, since you two seem to know all about it. Posted on Thursday, July 22, - GMT Lack of power is logical but most pioneers have a high sensitivity and dont require alot of power to get good base. Where did you get the pioneers? Could be they are defective. My speakers are rated RMS and only 90 db sensitivity. His polks should perform fine with his HU. The pioneers are the likely problem.

Perhaps they do require more power. I could not find the ratings on those pioneers but if they are a 4 way 6. Also, a speaker that is mounted with only 2 screws should work fine. But I dont quite understand what you removed from the rear deck. If you have allowed an opening by removing something near the speaker mounts that could have a huge affect on the bass response as it would cancel itself out if you mounted it to a skeletal frame with only cloth covering the deck.

Matt, stop rolling those eyes, it makes me feel dizzy. I got the Pioneers from Walmart. I tried the Pioneers not the ones I have, but the same size and costs almost the same , Polk the ones I have and Alpine.

Polk sounded the best, ample bass - this is all I want. I didn't like the Pioneers, so am gonna replace them with another pair of Polks db Alpines were good but couldn't handle the bass when I raised the volume half way through.

It was easy to cycle through three sets of speakers just by pressing a button. I had a chat with Polk tech support. So the test is to just switch the wire on only one speaker and see if I get the bass. Will do. Frank, I meant the rear deck panel that has the speaker grill. I was thinking that it acts as an enclosure. Thanks a lot again. I'll certainly post after I get everything working right, may take couple of days though.

I have a Porsche Turbo S- had stock speaker system- it consisted of a 5. Posted on Friday, July 23, - GMT The rear panel will definately detract from your bass performance saying it's not sealed up correctly. The removed door panel and cardboard will also cause problems. The wiring may be out of phase, make sure the speakers are correctly wired. Fade the front and rear, and check the balance from the head unit, if bass improves with a certain speaker cut out, then a speaker or a few are out of phase and it kills bass response.

Try putting Dynamat on the rear package tray as well as the doors, SEPARATE the airspace of the speakers separate the front from the back totally, then check the wiring.

If none of this helps, then you can look into replacing speakers. Now the bass is plentiful with Polk s in front and Polk mounted on the rear deck. Once again, thanks a lot for all the valuable input.

Jonathan, your input was very helpful. POLK fit right on factory mount - as if it were made to order. Got them from crutchfield. I also got speaker connectors for free, eliminating possible polarity errors. The bass dramatically improved after the rear deck panel was in place. All of a sudden I have more lows than highs Well, the fact is that the highs dominated because the lows weren't there. Conclusion: 1. Polarity was definitely an issue. Bass on Pioneers improved once I flipped wires on only one speaker.

Polks are definitely better; I am saying 2-way sounds better than 4-way Pioneers. HU can drive these speakers well with good bass and volume. An external amp will do justice I guess. One should be careful to see the minimum wattage required to drive them. In my case 6w RMS. Most of the after market speakers are rated at high wattage than the factory ones.

If these 2-way, 3-way, 4-way coaxials require an additional amp, they can't compete with factory speakers. They are indeed better replacements. I do hear some vibrations, it's time to get some Dynamat.


No bass after replacing factory speakers - help!

User Name Remember Me? ScottKilpatrick's Photos. Any instructions for replacing speakers? I want to replace all 4 speakers in my ION but I'm afraid of breaking something. Don't know how to get the door panels off. Rear deck speakers look harder to replace.

it's also possible that the wires between the radio and speaker have failed - most likely at the point they pass from the car to the door.

Car Speakers


Remember Me? Site Navigation. First car - How do I replace the door speakers? Hi, I bought my 95 Miata First car last week and I wanted to replace the speakers. The PO told me that the door speakers and headrest speakers do work but he may have wired it wrong while doing the headrests and only the driver headrest speakers work from what I can tell. He gave me a pair of new Polk DB to put into the car when I have time but I actually have no idea where to start. I have a bit of electrical knowledge so I'm not sure if that'll help because I don't know where to start. I would like to do it myself since I'm a girl and I can brag about it to my boyfriend Thanks in advance. I'll tell you from experience, those speakers will not fit properly.

The first step you should take before replacing a speaker is determining exactly which of your speakers has sustained damage. You can do this simply by listening to them. You should be able to easily identify a speaker with an issue by the sound it makes. Step 1: Turn up the volume.

There has been a lot of debate, trash talk, and condescension over the years about which type of car speaker sounds the best: 2-way speakers or 3-way speakers? If you've read our comparison between the best car speakers of this year, you've probably seen a lot of both types of speaker. Let's dig down to see how they differ. Upper range frequency s ound is directed to the tweeter cone by way of a crossover network, which only allows sound signals within that specified range to transmit via the tweeter.

Welcome to the third in a series of speaker upgrades, this one is for the doors and involves replacing the standard 5.
