3rd Gen Dash Speaker Question (non-JBL)

Can anyone confirm the size of the capacitor on the stock dash speakers? I am wondering what the factory crossover frequency is.

 

From a 4 Runner. Probably the same?

 

Thank you very much! That should be a 6,000 Hz crossover.

 

Just pulled this tonight - 2019, 7" Entune, Tacoma, TRD Premium Off Road Package.

 

That one is different. Looks like a 2.2 uF which doesn't make much sense. That would mean about a 18,000 Hz crossover which is pretty much pointless. Most of what would come out of the speaker would not be audible. Thanks for the photo, but I am scratching my head......

 

Just did the subaru tweeter upgrade, so had these sitting there when I saw this thread. I know at 50 my ears won't pickup anything above 18khz for sure! Another data point for you.

 

Much appreciated!

 

If that's a 22 instead that would make sense.

 

That would be an 1,800 Hz crossover which would make a LOT more sense, but the spacing makes it appear to be 2.2

 

The first few posts in this thread may help.

Yeah, I believe so as well. Maybe it's all about that 6dB/octave and that's all it needs or something.

 

Post #3 in that thread nailed it. Super high crossover with a gentle roll-off. Every audio choice involves trade-offs but that choice seems weak. Thanks for the link.

 

Just ordered some myself, any pointers on how they remove from dash ? I don't understand all this cross over stuff , I just ordered kicker 3 ways for the front. I was hoping it's just plug and play ? Just bought a 2020 off road, non JBL. A deer totalled my beautiful 2015 and I had Polk Audio 3 ways up front and kept the factory JBL tweeters. Is there a good write up on door panel removal, tweeters etc. Thanks

 

Everything you ordered should be plug and play. I am almost certain the Subaru tweeters come with the crossover pre-installed. Your Kicker 3-way speakers will also have crossovers pre-installed. The function of the crossover capacitor is to essentially block the lower sound frequencies that the tweeters (and the midrange in your 3-ways) cannot handle. There are dozens of videos on YouTube showing how to swap the dash and door speakers.

 

Thank you
