Ok. Does the factory wiring just "Y" off to each speaker or does it have a separate dedicated output cable for the door speaker and the dash speaker? If if it uses a "Y" I should be able to connect the factory door speaker output cable to the crossover input and then the crossover woofer output to the door speaker and the crossover tweeter output to the tweeter and just abandon the factory tweeter cable. This would allow the crossover to be mounted in the door and piggyback the crossover tweeter output cable on the large factory cable harness serving the door and then to the tweeter. Is this the way to go?

They just y off and the tweeter has a little resistor that they use for cutting out frequency.

Ok, but just to confirm, I CAN use the factory door speaker cable as the source to feed the crossover. The reason I ask is if factory feed for the door speaker is a full-range audio feed I'm good to go, but if it is only a low frequency source I'd new to find a different source for the crossover.

That's a capacitor, not a resistor. :p

Someone does not know how to build passive crossovers.:icon18:

bigaudiofanat 09-04-2010 11:49 PM

capacitors store energy I doubt they would use that for blocking frequencies for a tweeter.

Dude look it up.

Passive Crossover Networks

It's your own quoted site. :shakes head:

Shall you now admit you odviously know jack about audio?

Whatever you think man.

Well come on now, your the bigaudiofanat and you don't know caps are used as highpass passive crossover networks. This is basic crossover theory, your the one making write ups about this stuff. What do expect when you say dumb s#*% like capacitors are used for storing energy, capacitors do a ton more than that bro. Get educated about this stuff before stating your wrong opinions again. Google capacitors maybe and you will see what they are used for outside of car audio.

What are you taking in school anyway?

Never wrote a writeup on a crossover and how it is made man. Get your facts straight. You are completely ruining this section of this forum with your annoying comments.

Computer science and networking in school btw.

You get your facts straight there, I read a write-up by you in several places and crossovers are right in there. I never said it was good but your the write up guy?

Basic electronic theory teaches capacitance and inductance, if your majoring in what you say then you should have some basic electronic theories no?

Oh well this thread is about rear speakers which you know nothing about anyway.

So I am wondering if it either has an amplified (ready to connect to speakers) output or a pre amp output that would need to be connected to an amp before connecting to speakers.

Any info you can provide will allow me to plan my up grades in advance.

Many thanks

Place the MTX Re-Q5 near the headunit, buy a cheap small amp run a RCA cable from the Re-Q to the amp if small enough amp under the seat and bob's your uncle. Nice little factory upgrade without blowing the budget.

Throw in some rears too just for kicks and giggles, I know that I have mine at 40%:ughdance:
