Back Rear Speaker Help

[burnws6]

Ok heres the story....2 sets of speakers, already blown, i know the whole deal with the monsoon putting out more power than the speakers can hold...Im personally not that big into my sound system, nor do i care to make improvements, future...maybe....now, no. So does anyone know what speakers i can buy that will fit with my stock setup that are 4ohms...and that WONT fukkin blow? Ive been told crutchfield and some other places...but when it comes to speakers and audio system, im probably the most retarded ignorant idiot.... Thanks in advance

Subscribed. Same problem.

[Madcity T/A]

this happened to me and I got 2 6" speakers from best buy for like 35 bucks. I spliced it all in and they work great!

[burnws6]

what cables did u cut? and wouldnt that affect ure sound quality?

[burnws6]

:bump:

[burnws6]

anyone?

[Madcity T/A]

I just took the plug assemby from the speaker then spliced the 4 wires into two so that it corisponded with the aftermarket speaker. then tied that into the speaker wires. the sound qulity is better then before. If you do it right it turns out great. but if you don't know anything about wireing then eaither have the store do it or find someone who can.

k....what speakers did u buy...or what do i look for as far as the power

[third_shift|studios]

the rear deck will need some fabricating to fit a new 4x6"

[burnws6]

details ppl i have no idea wtf you guys are talkin about...refer to my previous statement:...but when it comes to speakers and audio system, im probably the most retarded ignorant idiot....

[camarojunky74]

lol i would go with pioneer if i was you, good speakers not to bad on price,like they said 4x6 and make sure they are three way or 4 way which refers to bass treble mid's all that shit, at least 3 way if you want the same sound quality or better, i hope this helped a little, its not complicated theres only 2 wires. match the colors!

[burnws6]

hahah....there we go...exactly what i was lookin for..thanks man

[camarojunky74]

no prob, i had the same problem as you , the problem is when you turn your stereo up loud, you blow the bass section of the speaker, which makes that rattlle, i did the same thing a few times, until i just installed 2 ten inch subs, which take all the bass well most of it, and you can turn your radio up as loud as you want, the speaker are actually really good except the bass part, so now you have the bass from the subs the mids and hi's from the old speakers, and WAMM you have a good system and no more blown speakers!

i did it and i recomend it to you! your looking to spend as little as 200 to $$$ your choice, i think a good install and box so you can still store your t tops would be about 500.

good luck

If you're talking about the rear hatch speakers, those are 4" and can be replaced by any 4ohm pair. Before I tore out the Monsoon system, I put in a pair of Memphis Car Audio 4" back there and they sounded great.

[SSwt00SS]

so are there any 4" subs you can put back there if you want?

[seasponge]

no, those are full range 4". The factory Monsoon system has 6.5" subs in the sail panels and 6.5" full range in the doors. Keep in mind that if you want to replace the door and sail speakers, you must get 6.5" oversize so basicaly 6.75". Some companies call them "oversize" instead of 6.75"

Where does that fit at? In the hole on the left side of the trunk?

[seasponge]

Yeah, that's an alternative. JL also makes a box just like that which fits in the rear left side where the CD changer is if you have one. I'm making my own box out of fiberglass but it will be custom for that same hole.

[camarojunky74]

yeagh those boxes are bad ass, i wish i didnt have the box that i have:brick2:, im pissed, i cant do shit with this box, no room for t tops or anything damnit

[seasponge]

Build your own! That's what I'm going to do. Sure, you're limited to a 10" sub but if you get a really powerfull one, you don't have to worry about compromising bass. And you'll get all your space back for your t-tops. Besides, most 10" subs don't need anything bigger than a 1 cubic foot of space to produce their maximum bass so that space back there is perfect for that.

A friend of mine has a square 10" sub in that spot in the trunk with a sub box that he ordered from subthump. It's louder than my 12's. :shrug: Probably cause I have a not so great box and smaller amp.. but whatever. Point is, his sounds amazing

[camarojunky74]

i dunno i think i may, so i am pretty much limited to one 10? if i do that unless i wanna remove my spare tire?

[camarojunky74]

i just looked at them! those are freaking bad ass! oh man, and the amp rack is cool to i dont think i will need one cause i only have one amp! i dunnno ill see, but yeagh that looks like the way to go, one on each side,

so they hit good, really? i would think the full back style would do better!

[Kjz99z28]

I think it helps quite a bit that he's got a pretty large amp, but yeah it hits really hard

[seasponge]

Guys,
Just because we're limited to 1 10" doesn't mean the end of the world. You have to buy smart, educate yourself on speakers, power, rms, etc, etc. You'll see that depending on the sub, there is a minimum and an optimum cubic space that the sub can use. Wrong combination = poor bass, perfect combination = outstanding bass. With that said, you must also have an amp that can push that sub to it's limit. For instance, later this year, I'll be installing a Memphis Audio sub that has an RMS of 400 watts with a max of double that; I'll be using an amp that puts out 600 watts RMS (right in the middle) so you see, its overpowering the sub at it's RMS but has enough power to hit the sub's max...and then some! So basically, you can be cruising down the street and some poser pulls up with 2 12s or 15s sounding like garbage and there you are with 1 10"...rattling every nut and bolt in his POS poser car.
Enjoy!

I have a Dual (cheap ass best buy brand) 10, a small hatchback box and a 200w pioneer amp. In combination with the rest of the monsoon system, it sounds really good....


i had a 12 in my old v6 and a big ass amp and it would rattle everything... but i think i like this better (quality > quantity)

and the best part is that the box is the perfect size to sit ontop of the ttop rack... if i want to take them off, i just pick it up and put it under the glass so i still have bass!
