hopefulfan_dc Posted July 17, 2005 Report Posted July 17, 2005 I wanna put new 6X9 in rear but don't wanna change anything but the speakers. I see there are 4 wires per...dvc my speakers are not dvc and they were free so....I gotta use em I need alot of help. I have never installed to a setup like this before. Quote
ToroToro Posted July 17, 2005 Report Posted July 17, 2005 Well, you can do a few things... Either hook up only the two low frequency wires, for bass only. Or hook only the two high freq. wires for treble only. Or, you can take the positive wires from the high and low freq wires, and connect them. Then connect both the negative wires together. Then plug in the combined negative and positive wires to the speaker. Not sure that will sound all that great though. Honestly, I'd just stick to the factory DVCs unless they are shot. Even then, I'd get the new ones from GM. I heard they are $70 bucks a piece though. :shock: With the aftermarket ones, most aren't really designed to crank bass out, because they assume you will be using a sub. You'd have to look at your new speakers specs to see if it'll be worth your time. JMO... Quote
1990lumina Posted July 18, 2005 Report Posted July 18, 2005 My 3 way Kenwoods produce very good bass, especially now that I have them amplified. My friend's Alpine's, produce almost no bass at all. As for the wiring, I dunno, sorry. Quote
DiscoStudd Posted July 18, 2005 Report Posted July 18, 2005 If it were my car, I'd run new speaker wire from the headunit to the rear speakers and forget about using the factory wiring... Quote
Cam'ron Posted July 18, 2005 Report Posted July 18, 2005 yeah but you would still be dealing with the high and low output from the head unit new wire wouldnt neseccarily solve the problem Quote
DiscoStudd Posted July 18, 2005 Report Posted July 18, 2005 Does the HU have separate high and low outputs, or does it have one set of outputs run through a crossover? I was assuming the latter... Quote
Cam'ron Posted July 18, 2005 Report Posted July 18, 2005 i couldnt speak for the older cars but my monte has a amp factory installed in the trunk and there is as many wires going in as coming out... it is a 6 speaker setup, never bothered tracing them yet however Quote
ToroToro Posted July 18, 2005 Report Posted July 18, 2005 They run through a crossover somewhere before the booster amp, I believe. Its strange though because they have it wired so the low outputs dont fade, but the highs do. :?: Quote
hell_raiser Posted November 21, 2007 Report Posted November 21, 2007 all wires front along with rear wires run to the stock amp, this is why there is no fade its gay, to say the least. I am ripping mine out now actually i used care in typing this! Quote
