Did Replacing Your Rear Door Speakers Make A Difference?

Just curious if those of you who replaced your speakers in your rear doors noticed a difference and are happy with your decision. Im still considering it...

 

Subscribing...

 

I'm not going to vote on the thread (I did away with mine totally) but I can tell you that rear speakers aren't worth it. Take the money you WOULD have spent on the rears and put it into good front speakers and deadener.

 

Yeah I always wanted to know the answer to this too? I mean it doesnt bother me to much since I'm always in the front but if I'm cleaning out the back or something and the stereos on, the rear speakers sound like crap. They should have put in some tweeters on the back doors like the front doors have.

 

I added Damplifier Pro to both sides of the doors at the same time, so yes I noticed a big difference.

 

its realy a luxury for the backseaters but if you cant hear them turn down the gain in the fronts and up in the rear. I couldnt really hear them over my JL AUDIO ZR650-CX they are sweet after hours of tunning. JL AUDIO XR-650-CWI in the rear

 

**did not change mine out**

i have mine faded mostly to the front anyway, so it does not matter (better staging and seperation)

i have it just loud enough for me not to hear but back seat pasangers (kids) can hear them.

if you close your eyes and work the fader to the front, you can tell exactly when this occurs

it may not sound right at first.
but believe me, once you have it that way, you will think the 50/50 fade is horrible

 

i replaced them...

i did all 4 at the same time, so i can't say if it was better than the stockers or not.

i will say that when i fade everything to the front, i don't care for the sound as much. i guess i like to be surrounded by the music

 

Exactly, but I changed mine anyways, wanted to remove the garbage in the doors.

 

Well im replacing mine, im gonna dynamat the rear doors also, since they will be open might as well, if i decide to add a amp in the future i was gonna use 2 channels for up front and bridge the 2 rear for a sub, lot of guys a round have done that.

 

I replaced mine and have them amped but when I am driving solo I have them faded out.

When I am at the coast my truck is used for the camp stereo system so I usually will have all door open aimed towards the "camp area".

 

I guess it depends on your perspective. If you were riding in the back you very well my like the new speakers but since most of us using this forum (if not all) are riding up front, of course the rears are not as imporant.

Does that make sense?

Edit: One last thing, if you are going to push more power to the factory rear speakers, just pray they don't blow and start sounding like garbage.

 

I only think of the rear speakers for the passengers, never for the driver. If they want to hear better quality then make them buy it!

 

it really depends how you like to listen to your music and if you are going to amplify them. true replacing your back door speakers will improve the sound quality but they are really only used for fill and your front components are more important. i amplified my fronts and it sounded pretty much the same with the different back speakers. They were just there for fill. Wouldnt spend the money again the stock ones are fine. id say focus more on the components

 

I replaced the rear because I went with an Infinity 4 channel amp for my mids and highs! I ended up blowing the back speakers and had to fade to the front completely and could tell a difference without the rear 6.5's.

 

10 years later bringing it back...Thanks for the feedback. Ive been on the fence, but planning to add extra power. Did you blow them because it was faded to the back?

 

Change all this week. Better sound but now need an AMP

 

Replacing mine with the focal 165. Also deadened all the doors. I think that really is a key point.. Makes sound improvement and also makes the interior a lot quieter.

 

Not really but after I summed all channels to 1 I noticed a difference. I did it with the lc7i and it sounds a lot fuller.

 

Absolutely not worth it one ounce if you’re not going to amplify. The stock rears actually have more of a poly cone. Would not replace if I did it again. Fronts were way worth it
