so, i've been messing with my amp wiring off and on for about 8 or 10 months trying to figure out why my door speakers didn't work. everything sounded great. my doors had kenwood 6.5's and i've got 2 fosgate 10's in my trunk. every wire in the car was good. all connections were good. sourced every wire's route since it was wired before i got it. finally i narrowed down the problem to the speaker wire or the speaker. i finally took the door panels off, removed the speakers, and hooked them up to my surround sound in my living room. neither speaker made a noise. took them yesterday to audio express in searcy and got confirmation that i melted the voice coils in both of them.

they had one and only one pair of kenwood 6.5" speakers with tweeters on display that i was interested in. i actually asked the guy to pull them off of the wall to test fit the speakers with the honda mounting baffles and they fit PERFECT! i talked him down on the price since they were display, came home, and spent 2 hours putting my car back together.

i paid 60+tax

i'm VERY satisfied too! and i've got enough bass to ring my ears for hours after i get out of the car! one feature that i really admire about a lot of kenwood door speakers is that while they have significantly better overall listening quality than most, they also have tweeters built into the speaker which is quite handy for us 00 and 01 owners!!! WOO HOO!!!!!

 

zero comments, questions, or rude remarks?

 

well, your link doesnt work lol

 

And you gave no real info about your system so no one could really comment on you blowing your speakers. Maybe too much power, maybe not enough---

How's this? - "Good luck to you, maybe you won't blow your speakers up again."

 

It sounds like marshman's just happy to have speakers again. Here are the speakers on the Best Buy site with a matching SKU. Looks like he got a deal on his purchase too! Good job

 

edited link. i'm not sure how the link got messed up but yes, those are the ones! and i'm sure it was too much power to the old speakers and there's no telling how long they had been in the car before i bought it.

i wasn't really looking for help diagnosing the problem but rather sharing the joy and relief i got from completing this daunting task that has haunted me for so long! sharing with the s2ki community about my car divides my problems and multiplies my success!
