Spliced speakers

So I just got my 2017 DCSB and my previous car I had installed Focal ISS 6.5" speakers and tweeters and had to take them out due to someone rear ending me. Has anyone tried to splice tweeters from the dash speakers? How do they sound? I couldnt find a thread that mentioned it. Also, without taking out the back seat has anyone put in Orion subwoofers? Im in the Idea phase. I apolgize if I sound ignorant

 

I wouldn't do that !!! First off ur tweeters have to be crossovered. U would blow them in a sec if u tapped into full range 3.5

 

Agreed. Not a wise decision to tap into the standard speakers without any sort of crossover there first. Otherwise you are just supplying them full blast unfiltered audio which will kill them insanely quick.

 

I'm in the same boat, wanting to upgrade audio. Seems you have a component set of Focals and want to put the woofer/speaker into the door and the tweeter in the dash up by the windshield.

Would you be required to run the crossover from the Focal component set in the door and drive the tweeter off of that (ideally in the dash at stock location, requiring some wires to be run) or could you just not use the Focal crossover and just plug n play the woofer and tweeter at stock locations?

Thanks!

 

no !!!!! u cant plug and play the focal tweeters WITHOUT using a crossover ( unless ur active but ur not )

 

Thanks... so the factory tweeters are really just normal speakers then I take it.

 

I replaced the factory speakers to include the factory "tweeter". I added a bass blocker to protect the tweeter.

The tweeter came with crossovers and same with the woofers. So if the tweeters came with crossovers I can just plug and play them?

 

Post pictures of the speakers and x-overs. It will help to determine what you have.

 

The crossovers are in line with the speaker wire

 

The last car i had them in they were a little quiet so I need to find a good amp to push these.
