Re-wiring speakers
A month or two ago there was a thread where someone posted how to make the door speakers work after putting in an after-market deck. It had to do with re-wiring so speaker lines. I was wondering if anyone knew what/how to re-wire because I can't find that thread anymore. And I already tried this: https://www.rx7club.com/forum/avatar...ine=1012766245 :D so any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

the 89-91 cars have some kinda shitty low pass x-over somewhere between the deck and door speakers. When I installed my first stereo in my 89 gtu, I used 4 nice 6.5 2 ways and 4s with aimable tweeters, and a nice pioneer deck. Everything except the door speakers sounded great, but the door speakers sounded horrible, using the stock wiring. They function only as a woofer. You can do one of 2 things:
run the door speakers off a small amp or run them off the same circuit that the front dash speakers run off. This drops your deck to 2 ohms form channel, but every deck Ive run like that held it fine except a kenwood, so dont try it with a kenwood deck(after about 5 minutes of moderately high volume the mids fade away to shitty sounding static, and lose their treble until you let it cool off, then the treble and clarity return...this happens on all 3 kenwood decks Ive owned). I spliced into each speaker lead for the 4" ones, and ran it into the door and hooked it to the 6.5 door speaker, sounded great. |
There was a much easier way thant that it was like re-wiring two wires. I'm lazy :p: .

IF you want it to sound good, do it right the first time nad youll never have to touch it again.

I found it...nevermind...thanks anyways :)

Where did you fond it? I am about to gut the factory system in my 90 Vert.
Thanks |
The vert and coupe have very different speaker setups. The vert has fullrange door speakers, and the low passed speakers are behind the seats. The coupe has the low passed in the doors, the high in the dash, and ? in the back - I've not been in a coupe. I have a 1990 Vert.
Anyway, for rhubarb, I just posted a bunch of info on a 1990 stereo rebuild (I actually gutted and then ungutted the stock hu) in the audio forum on this site. One word - POWER. The vert needs a ton to overcome the ambient noise floor. |
