Only person who actually explains everything. THANK YOU SO MUCH💪🏼
Glad the video helped you!
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.
Most helpful useful video I have watched so far thank you Anthony !!!!
Glad to hear it helped!
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.
Amazing quality video, you explain a lot and you explain it very well. Its about time someone actually does this. Thanks!
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.
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
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.
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. :)
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!
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.
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..
Pioneer and Infinity make some nice speakers.
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.
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?
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
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.
Nice video. Very straight forward.
Thanks!
Ya I've worked with Polk, they make really good speakers.
Definitely learned a lot, thanks for the tip on the tweeter settings!
Thanks for watching!
nice video. Thanks for the generosity. i can now customize my jeep. Keep up the good work!
On a component set up, yes you should hook up the amp to the cross over.
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?
i like where you put the tweeters, i think thats where im going to put mine
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?
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?
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?
wish you would have shown how to run the wire through the door jams
Okay
Thank you so much. just one question. Is it fine to connect the amp to the crossover than to the speakers ?
you know you could use the factory speaker mounts in the doors, all you have to do is peel the old speaker out because it is glued in to that big plastic piece. its much easier and saves money that u may have to use on extra parts.
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.
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!
Just curious if you dont use the hot glue what other method would there be in attaching the tweeter to the factory mount?
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.
Depending how far you are Monster Sound in Winter Haven does excellent work
maybe i missed it but what wire goes to the -3db? Great video...thx
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?
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.
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.
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.
would the combo come with all the wires you need though, because im lost when it comes to that. idk what wires i need.
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
What gauge of wire do you use for these door speakers and tweeters?
For some people it does. It really depends on the user, because I find everyone's hearing and expectations are different. I usually set it in the middle.
wondering if you ever installed component speakers in a 2000 GMC Yukon rear doors.........or any suggestions
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?
what are the best 6 inch speakers to get then? im also going to have a 10 inch sub in the back.
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.
what kind of glue do you use nice vidio thanks!!
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.
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?
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.
As long as the speaker is mounted securely and you clear the window you should be good.
much needed help. thank you.
I just purchased a couple 6 1/2 components. And a 4 channel amp. I dont need to install a croosover then right??
i'm in the process of installing new component speakers in my car after i broke on of the tweeters, but i can't quite figure out how to stretch the wire from the cross-overs to the player. you used the "boot" i think you called it, but on my car (Opel Vectra) the wires doesn't just run through, but there's a big ass plug, of sorts, which i have never seen anywhere else. any suggestions?
do you need a crossover box for each set of tweeter and woofer?
Great explanation.
Thank you!
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.
For imaging yes. Otherwise they tend to have the same build as their coaxial counterpart, you're comparing speakers of the same model.
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?
Gotta lot of questions about music,speakers,decks,amps,etc,u up for schooling a newbie?
Rears are set pretty low. Are you tuning off an amplifier? Try 80Hz for the 6.5" speakers.
Depends on your vehicle's set up. Sometimes it's just a little panel if you have factory tweets.
Your explanation of the speakers is good. The picture is clear as well as the installation on panels. The problem is you didn't explain how to run the wires and which wire goes where.
Thanks for the feedback
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
Yes, they use a little more power to run compared to a coaxial but yes you can.
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!
did you run your component set to the stereo or are the on a amp?
What kind of glue did you use for the tweeters I thought you said Hog glue but I cant find it anywhere
so the wiring for the factory tweeter, you just left that loose right?
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.
do you think the 4 ich jl audio ones would be good? they come with a mount for a 4x6. i just kinda want to know some good brands because today im going to a store thats all about car audio and i dont wana get ripped.
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
If you're running an aftermarket amp then yes, hook it up to the speaker outputs of the amp.
Solid video!
Thanks!
It's their Thunder Axe series
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.
Did you car come with a premium amplified system?
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....
Yes you still will need to install the crossover.
love the windshield theory thanks for posting,by the way what model are those mtx components?
Good info. Thanks for uploading.
These are just better. Better design and better materials to give you better sound. You can install these in the rear as well and it'll definitely sound good.
Thanx for the info nice work
Thank you!
No you can use just head unit power. They sound better with an amp though.
if i dont have an external amp. what would i use for the input for the crossover?
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.
could i install a compound speaker without the tweeter? if so would i just not use the cross over and just pulg the negative and positive straight in? im doing this for the back door but i will then use the tweeters in the front.
thanks hope you or anyone else can help :)
Cheers for this tutorial
Glad it was able to help you.
To see the difference between Component & Coaxial speakers, watch here: ruclips.net/video/NRSllVoivBE/видео.html
I am wondering... Do you send the factory speaker wire directly to the input of the cross over?
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
Now, you are putting the stock door speakers as the supply for sound into the crossover..then you go out from the crossover to the door speaker and to the tweeter.. and you just leave the stock tweeter speaker wires hanging there unapplied to anything correct?
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?
do i need to take down my door to put the little speakers in?
nice vid, some problems with the lightning though
i have tweeters from a 2013 subaru i was wondering how hard it would be to install in my dodge dakota 1997
Really helpful, thanks
