Default Help---Speaker install question!

All,

just a general question... I have an 03 .

Is there a crossover built in the OEM unit which splits to the OEM tweeter and woofer?
Or is there a dicrete crossover hidden somewhere?

I was about to install Polk db6500 components and wasn;t sure how I should wire up the crossovers that came with it?

1. Do I run the woofer wires to the crossover, or do I need to find where the OEM crossover is and replace that?


I'm a little confused so any advice would help ASAP!!!!!

No, it's that Daman is soooooooo young. The freakin; punk.

Didn't I answer this question for you last weekend? The x-over is a resister that is built into the woofer on the stock setup. Just wire up your x-over to the stock wiring and run the speakers off of the x-over.

Thanks Pete...I wanted to make sure that was the case. I just can't understand how they are running two speakers in parallel....aren't the tweeters also 4 ohms, so wouldn't the total resistance know be 2 ohms?
Not sure if that make a difference in the OEM setup for power transfer, and I know at RF frequencies that I work at, matching impedence is very critical. I guess for audio, it's not......



So how was the BBQ? I wish I could have made it, but I was commited over a month ago for a Texas Holdem Tourney yesterday........
