Most helpful useful video I have watched so far thank you Anthony !!!!
Glad to hear it helped!
Amazing quality video, you explain a lot and you explain it very well. Its about time someone actually does this. Thanks!
Great How-To vid Anthony *thumbs up* It's been a few years since I had to install component speakers in a vehicle and this was an easy to follow refresher - thanks man!
Glad it helped you.
To see the difference between Component & Coaxial speakers, watch here: ua-cam.com/video/NRSllVoivBE/v-deo.html
I really like JL Audio speakers right now. Their TR line up is probably one of the best bang for your buck speakers you can get, especially since you're adding a sub.
nice video. Thanks for the generosity. i can now customize my jeep. Keep up the good work!
Good info. Thanks for uploading.
much needed help. thank you.
Definitely learned a lot, thanks for the tip on the tweeter settings!
Thanks for watching!
thanks... you just helped me out on choosing the speakers for my car. I will definitely go for component speakers. Now my plan is to install 6.5" component speaker in a very similar way to yours in the front and 6x9 in the back doors with an AMP. I hope I will be satisfied with this set up since I don't have a place for sub. :)
Pioneer and Infinity make some nice speakers.
Neat little trick to run wire through boot. Go to hardware store and cut you about a foot or foot and a half of some tubing. Just cheap ol regular stuff you may see in some plumbing or a fish tank or just whatever. Just want it to be bendable but not to the point it will fold over easily, but can work it around turns. Run it through the boot first , then just sliiiiiide the wire right through. Works like a charm. I actually pulled the new wire I ran about a week after and got some black tubing and cut the length more precise, and just left it there with wire in it. Just an added level of protection
Thanks for the tip!
Really helpful, thanks
awesome. i'm considering changing out the stock speakers in my truck (2012 silverado crew cab, similar to this truck) once i get a little money. i did in my last truck and it made a big difference
Nice video. Very straight forward.
Thanks!
On a component set up, yes you should hook up the amp to the cross over.
Thank you!
Thanks very much. Much appreciated.
wish you would have shown how to run the wire through the door jams
Okay
Ya it might be crossed over at the amp if there's one or something. I'd use the aftermarket cross over because typically it's a better quality product. But you must have a full range signal.
You can run a hi-low adapter. This will convert the signal from the speaker outputs off the factory head unit to a low level so the amp can re-amplify the signal properly. Some aftermarket amps have this feature built in. You can pick up those parts at any local install shop.
I agree with that. In a perfect setup you don't want to do that. These locations are where the manufacturer has placed them in this video. I also have a similar setup, but with two 10's in the back and tuning it's very hard to tell.
You can try ebay or something for passive crossovers and tweets. I'm a little unclear on the first part of your question. Like what do you use to make the actual connection?
Ya I've worked with Polk, they make really good speakers.
Thanks!
I just cant find a video that explains such a simple thing as how do you actually connect a crossover to an amp or car radio. The crossover takes a "stripped" cable yet radio or amp has rca output
Speaker outputs of the headunit or the amplifier.
great video, good pointers, thanks! I have a 2007 gmc sierra classic with factory tweets and 6.5 mids in the doors... do u know if they come from the factory with a crossover?
Thanx for the info nice work
Thank you!
Great explanation.
Thank you!
Nice vid. Did the components set up and it sounds great with the tweeter on the pillar I'm not sure if it's actually bouncing of the windshield but definitely sounds great I have coaxles set up in my truck and wanted to try something different on my chevy van I'm glad I did and it's working fine. Thanks
Niice! Glad you're enjoying your tunes.
I got an amazing deal on Sony Coax Speakers, but my car has a component setup, I thought about converting it into a component, but I have no screw behind my sticker. I guess I could cut the tweeter off and make it work that way. Do you think I should do that or just install coax in my doors?
Thank you so much. just one question. Is it fine to connect the amp to the crossover than to the speakers ?
Oh ya for sure. If you want to be technical, round speakers reproduce sound more accurately than oval speakers. So switching from 4x6" to 4" is totally cool.
Solid video!
Thanks!
I think I've only installed coaxials in the rear of those trucks honestly. You'd have to make a hole in the door panel to fit the tweeter. Ever consider installing a coaxial speaker with a directional tweeter? Also I'd build plates to mount the speakers helping them seal better and give the speaker a more solid foundation.
Some speakers like Infinity already run at a 2OHM load. How are you wiring it exactly?
I have a similar truck. That truck comes with 4X6 speakers all around. Did you ever consider keeping the dash speakers then deleting the rear and installing 6 1/2 speakers into the door?
Ya man, it's a lot of fun :)
I installed the new set up a while back. brainstorming new designs
Nice!
Thanks Anthony, ur upload is quite informative.
I'm about to buy Sony component speakers. It includes 4 6'' woofers, 4 1'' tweeters, 4 cross overs and all speakers will be in the doors, my question is will I need 1 or 2 amplifiers and how many channels should the amplifiers have?
Cheers for this tutorial
Glad it was able to help you.
You can run new wires to the speakers, or use the factory wiring, wiring the amp into the factory wires that run to the speakers.
On my amp I've got my x overs for front set to HPF. Rear (sub) set to LPF. Question, I've heard it's recommended you set the amp to HPF for comps. But how do my woofers get the mids?
Hi I have install a 5.25 components speaker in my rear door but my both tweeters r not working.can I replace any other brand tweeter or it has to be same one.thanks
good video
sweet, thanks.. I am picking up my component system tomorrow morning so yah! Next is a new receiver..Think I will just go with a digital audio receiver instead of cd..
love the windshield theory thanks for posting,by the way what model are those mtx components?
Yea I saw that, just want sure if there was another type of glue or adhesive to install to the pre-existing tweeter pod mount. Thanks for the info though
I didn't use the factory tweeter wire in this application because I got "full range" signal in the door and I wanted to utilize the provided crossover.
Did you car come with a premium amplified system?
ive got an 11 avenger. tweeters up in the dash as well. Is there a need to install tweeters in the back somewhere or do you just install the two in the front? Also im keeping my stock deck so would i need a line out converter for the front and back? i already have one installed in the rear from subwoofers i used to have. will be installing an amp to power my speakers. Thanks
In my experience with GM trucks like this, I have just cut the adapter off the stock speaker and put it on the new ones. What are your views on doing it that way?
Did you run new wire from the head unit? And is an amp necessary for such an application? Or is the head unit supply good enough?
maybe i missed it but what wire goes to the -3db? Great video...thx
They would have to come with some type of crossover for the factory tweeter to play properly. I don't know what they use or where it's located though. It's probably just a small cap ran inline somewhere.
Yes it did thank you now I know how
Hi, i have a question, my car allready have tweeters (small speaker atleast) on the colum on the front window, but wondering can i connect the new tweeters to the cable on colum? or must i use the crossover-box from the "main speaker cable" from the head unit?
I just purchased a couple 6 1/2 components. And a 4 channel amp. I dont need to install a croosover then right??
I have a i905 alpine head unit with rca’s running to the R2-A60F 4 channel amplifier and a R2-S653 set of component speakers, do I run all the speaker cables to the cross over , as in just one set of speaker cables from the amp to the cross overs and then wire all the speakers from the crossover, if so do I need to bridge the cables from the amp to the crossover , as it’s a 4 channel amp,if so what size wiring will suit it ,or should I just have the subs from the component speakers wired directly from amp to the speakers and run another speaker to the crossover feeding the mid and the tweeter .Please Help
hey one more question, my dad thinks that buying a sbwoofer and amp kit would be easir to install than buying the sub and amp seprate. is that true? wouldent it just be the same work?
would the combo come with all the wires you need though, because im lost when it comes to that. idk what wires i need.
Just one doubt. Is it necessary to amplify the input with an amplifier for better sound quality ? Like sending the output of the head unit to an amplifier and then taking that output and sending it to the crossover.
so the wiring for the factory tweeter, you just left that loose right?
what are the best 6 inch speakers to get then? im also going to have a 10 inch sub in the back.
is their any other good line up of speakers you would recomend because jl audio dosent have a oval 6inch speaker or 6 1/2, they only have round ones and round ones wouldent fit.
whats the difference between the factory speakers that already have tweeter and the after market ones and can these be installed in the rear doors too or is it too much
wondering if you ever installed component speakers in a 2000 GMC Yukon rear doors.........or any suggestions
I have a Jimmy 2002 with stock tweeter option in the place of front 4x6 and main speaker in the door. I don't want to feel the hi sounds come from up and the voice sound come from the doors... Do you have this effect with a setup like that or the sounds is completely mixed and really transparent? If not, Can I have great HI performance with quality coaxoal in the door and quality 6x9 in the back? What your preference? Thanks!
I suppose you could, buy why do you want to. The typical aftermarket speaker runs at ohms so you would be running at 8 ohms which would make your system very quiet.
I am wondering... Do you send the factory speaker wire directly to the input of the cross over?
i like where you put the tweeters, i think thats where im going to put mine
Yes, they use a little more power to run compared to a coaxial but yes you can.
In this application power is from the speaker outputs from the factory head unit.
Running a passive cross over is preferred because it filters the appropriate frequencies to the tweeter and the woofer. You could just buy some capacitors from your local electronic store and run them inline on the positive line for those extra tweeters. That's all the entry level component setups use, they'll eliminate the bass. Or better check on ebay for some cross overs.
Just curious if you dont use the hot glue what other method would there be in attaching the tweeter to the factory mount?
Aftermarket speakers are designed to be run with an amplifier. It's possible your new aftermarket components require more nominal power (rms wattage) than what your head unit is putting out. I'd recommend installing a 4 channel to give you the power you need.
would there be a way to do a component speaker setup in my truck like the tweeter and the speaker? or is my layout in it not good for that?
You would tap into the speaker outputs off the deck. You'll be able to tap into all 4 outputs that way you maintain fade and balance. If they're in the rear deck I would just put in good quality 6X9's. If you're putting in a sub, buy or build adapters and put in 6 1/2". I'd get a 5 channel amp at that point.
do you need a crossover box for each set of tweeter and woofer?
Depends on your vehicle's set up. Sometimes it's just a little panel if you have factory tweets.
I have the same truck, and actually if you open the door, on both sides of the dash that are hidden when the doors are closed, are pop off panels, where the fuse box is on drivers side, theres a perfect little spot to mount them. And it just so happens that's where the speaker wires from the head unit run to side by side, then diverge , one to the tweeter, one into the door. Its about as perfect as it gets if you want to use factory wires
Great tip!
yea the speakers in the back are not in the doors, they are behind your head, so i guess you call that the rear deck. As for the line out converter i am familiar with but with the PAC one that has 4 pre-outs, does that mean i will have to tap into the front and rear speakers into 1 converter? Also, would i need to tap anything into the tweeters or is that not necessary? Thanks for the information. Much appreciated
Depending how far you are Monster Sound in Winter Haven does excellent work
I still don't get how to wire it like the cables coming from the radio to the crossover
Will a Kenwood head unit 4 x 22 RMS be enough to power both front and rear component speakers?
What if your car already has factory tweeters meaning there are already 2 seperate sets of speaker wires? Which one do you use?
U connect the the 2 wires of the speaker from original speaker into crossover INPUT then from OUTPUT of crossover to speaker
@@TheHoboWithAShotgun thank you! thats what i wanted to see in the video
e r NP glad to help
i was think these Polk Audio AA2461-A MM461P 4x6 Plate Speaker and for the subwoofer Polk Audio AA3104-A MM1040 10-Inch what do you think? also what size amp do i need for that, and whats a good one. i apalogize for all the questions its just everything is for sale this weekend and my dad is pressuring me to buy it now for the deals.
Rears are set pretty low. Are you tuning off an amplifier? Try 80Hz for the 6.5" speakers.
So a Crossover is pretty much like a Equalizer for the Speakers?
i have a 08 Impala and most def wanna upgrade the stock Speakers.
But how would you install a Amp if all the wires already going to that Cross-Over?
No since an EQ doesn't completely cut and has a bandwidth. You power the amp with line-level signal from the RCA outputs on the back of your head unit and then take the amp speaker outputs to the crossover inputs. If your head-unit doesn't have any line level outputs, consider investing in it.
if i dont have an external amp. what would i use for the input for the crossover?
i got a 90 chevy 1500 im restoring and i want a good sound system in it, but there are only 4 speaker holes, 2 on the dash tops and 2 behind my door about head level. so i dont really know what setup to do, im also going to put a subwoofer in.
did you run your component set to the stereo or are the on a amp?
So I use the wires that connected to the stock speaker as inputs for the crossover? If thats true then what about the stock tweeter wires..?
you don't need crossovers if you have separate tweeters and like where they are positioned. just direct wire the new speakers to the wires.
What gauge of wire do you use for these door speakers and tweeters?
i just had some component speakers installed in my 2001 lesabre rated at 60 rms. why are they lower sounding than my old stock speakers? im running a pioneer avh-p3200bt. and 12"subs in the back. do i NEED an amp to my front speakers? the installers didnt suggest this when I had them do it....
How do u put wires through the front door boot on an 02 chevy Malibu
Positive output for the tweeter.
in my truck i have a flip down center console could i put a tweeter in it
what kind of glue do you use nice vidio thanks!!
The video is nice but i have a question since my factory speakers have tweeters already and I would like to install new speakers with crossover and tweeter. I wire the factory speakers input to the crossover input, I wire the crossover midbass to the car new speakers. BUT what about the tweeters? do I use the old wiring from the car or the new wiring from the crossover?
use the wiring from the crossover, the factory tweeter has a little capacitor soldered to it to remove low frequencies, but yours gonna wanna use the crossover to get your power
If you're running an aftermarket amp then yes, hook it up to the speaker outputs of the amp.
What kind of glue did you use for the tweeters I thought you said Hog glue but I cant find it anywhere
