ok so i am finnally able to put my speakers in, and i think ive come across a pottential problem, but hopefully its not a problem. im sorry if i confuse anyone but....this is the best i can explain it. So my car has factory component speakers(a 6.5" woofer and a tweeter), and there are no crossovers that i know of. The (factory)tweeters have wires going out of them which goes into the door and then i dont know where to; the (factory)woofers also have wires which go somewhere i dont know. With my order of my new components, there is a harness, with a negative and positive wires, that is made to plug into the harness that the factory woofer was plugged into; orginally i thought i could just plug the harness in and then wire that up to the crossover in to spot where your supposed to get the signal from the headunit(which is not yet crossedover) and then wire the tweeters and woofers in there spots. but then it came to me; if i use the harness for the woofer, will that already be "crossed over"? will that cause the crossover to "cross-over" the signal that has pottentially already been crossed-over? Will that cause the signals to be weak or something? (haha, im sorry for my terms but i dont know how else to say it). So um what should i do? i thought that i may not be able to use the factory harnesses, and ill have to wire it directly from the head unit....is that correct? i hope you guys can understand what i am saying, but PLEASE HELP. thankss
ive made some diagrams which i hope can show my sittuation more better. lol dont make fun of them. the first picture is what everything was like when it was stock the second picture is what i thought i could do, using the harness adaptor. what do i have to do?
what kind of car is it? so you have a new set of speakers as well? or just new crossovers? If you have a new component set then you just wire them up to the crossover and that goes to the HU if you are not using an amp. The harness you speak of is prolly the stock crossover that is no longer needed with a new set of components. It sounds to me like you may have a factory amp.. did you buy a new HU? If its an aftermarket HU you can easily just run the speaker outputs off of that to each new crossover to bypass any factory amp. If you have a stock HU with a factory amp in there.. wiring up new comp speakers to it may be a little tricky.. I would try.. at that point just splicing into one of the factory wires going to the old speakers and throwing that on the crossover to see what happens.
well i have a 99 civic. a pioneer deh-p6800mp hu. no amp yet. the components are polk db6500. but ive decided that im just gonna wire it directly to the hu. this thread was pretty much a waste. lol thanks for your help
well i got them in, if anyone cares, prob not. but they are sick. i ended up just using the factor woofer harness to use as the signal. again they are sick
hey man we do care...we think it is gay for people to never come back and tell us how there setup goes
