Speakers in door's cards

Here you can post things about ICE (In Car Entertainment). Like how to install GPS navigation, a DVD-player and other yuppie-stuff. This category might be moved to "those other things" in the end...

Speakers in door's cards

Post by Milosz_480 » Sun May 15, 2005 12:09 am

Has anyone got speakers in door's cards? I've just bought set of high-tone tweeters and would like to put them in door cards. How to conect them. I've got only 4 output for speakers in radio.

I have alpine tweeter pods sitting just off my door cards - my car had the extra tweeters behind the door handle, so I ripped them out and then screwed the pod mounts to the grill behind. Has worked very nicely.
As for wiring them up, run them in paralel to your door speakers. They should have a passive high-pass inline filter to stop frequencies they don't like hitting them. Can highly recommend the alpine s-range speakers!!

I've got speakers from SAAB 9000. Guy sold them to me for 4 pounds. They play nice so I'm happy to have them :)
