UPGRADED KICKER SPEAKERS

Just replaced the stock tweeters with Kickers. Made a noticeable difference. Replaced the rear speakers with Kickers. Sound is fuller but still no volume from the rears. Next I'll replace the front door speakers with Kickers. Should notice some difference.

 

Yeah, the rear speaker won't really increase unless you add an amp. I assume you are just running the stock head unit?

 

Head unit is stock. Just installed front speakers so all 6 are new Kickers. A definite noticeable change in the front. More depth and crisper. No change in rear volume. Sound is better from rear but they don't do anything cause there ain't no volume!!

 

New speakers alone won't help you in the rear. The factory head unit sends almost no power to the rear. They are grossly under powered. You have a few choices if you want to fix it. What is required is restoring a full strength signal to the rear speakers.

You can:
1. Swap the factory head unit for an aftermarket head unit.
2. Add a line output converter (LOC) to the factory setup.
3. Add a digital sound processor (DSP) to the factory setup.

There may be some other options as well. Good luck. You will find a lot of threads posted by members that have tried all three of these methods. They all work vastly better than the factory setup.

 

Thanks. Good information.
