door speakers

BlkNismo · 03-07-2012, 10:46 AM

Thanks for input everyone!

Update..I ordered the brackets needed for the install of the Polk MM 5 1/4 door speakers. I already have a Pioneer AVIC 930 installed.

I will leave the oem tweeters in place and see how everything sounds.
If needed I will either disconnect them or purchase new tweeters.

Just looking for better sound quality then oem speakers offer, nothing crazy.

PS, I was under the impression oem speakers were 5 1/4, otherwise I would have bought 6.5 size.
Depending on how everything meets my expectations, I may change them out for 6.5, we'll see.

You should NOT keep the factory tweeters wired up during the usage of new speakers as you could have a ohms imbalance and fry your internal amp of your head unit.

You should either disconnect them or order a component set of speakers.

Adding new tweeters will also not be a good idea as you need a crossover to block them from getting damaging bass frequencies that a tweeter can not reproduce.
