infinity front speakers + tweeters

[Olly20VT]

iv got the mounting brackets to now fit some front speakers and i would like the infinity component speakers with the seperate tweeter as seen here , now has any one got these fited to ther cupra already? if so did you manage to swop the standard tweeters for the infinity ones? and whot did you do with cross over box? any help would be good thanks.

Basically... took the wire to from the existing speaker and ran that into the crossover for power.

Then from the crossover ran wires to the new speaker and tweeter.

Then double sided taped the crossover box to the inside of the door card once set to how i wanted it so it wouldn't move around.

Speaker sounds louder/clearer and i've had no probs. Think thats the easiest way?

i've got those speakers in my doors and they were real easy to fit

as turbo ZR, i used double-sided sticky pads to fix the crossover inside the trim panel

as far as wiring goes, i have a rockford amp so i ran brand new stinger cabling straight to the speakers and ditched the old speaker wiring. it was extremely easy to do. i've installed many, many stereos at home and at work and i've never had a car that was so easy to get the speaker cable from the a-pillar across to the door! there's a massive rubber tube that the cables slid through no problem!

hope this helps

thanks for all the help guys, do the tweeters just swop staght over from stock to infinity?

Bill i thought you were like the stig and lisened to music as you speed round the track

Olly what kind of music do you listen too?

 

[Olly20VT]

trance/dance jenral club stuff, im going for infinity as i have a set of infinity 6x9's in the back and wonted to keep it all the same. why do you ask?

 

[Forbez]

For dancy style music your best going for JBL speakers as they have more punch to them than the Infinity's.
The inifinity speakers are better suited to more rock style music, with vocals, guitar's etc.

I get this from a bloke who works for JBL, who actually are the same company as Inifinity.

I used to have inifity speakers in my old car, and they are good!, Just trying to help you along mate. Incase you haven't bought them yet.

ok thanks so what JBL would you recomend?

Bill is that age or coz of the car being loud
(sorry had to)

 

[Forbez]

I dont remember! I'll have a look and get back to you, i think it was the GTO series, (i'll double check)
Its only a pointer though, what i do is to test them in halfrauds, by turning all the other sounds down and playing just one stereo through the speakers so you determine what sounds you want to listen too, most Halfrauds should let you try your own CD so you can check against the music you listen too.

i would but all the halfords round her have all the speakers cones pushed in or hangging out or arnt wired up, jenral let down, the music would not be rock defo more dance/club my mate (shift-shifty) has JBL's all round in his ibiza and it sounds good. i'll ask him what hes got aswell.

[Olly20VT]

if the fronts are a good set of JBL components then let me know if they are up for sale? could give you a hand taking them out if you like.
Didnt know you liked Will Smith bill

 

[Olly20VT]

something like THIS ?

 

[flashbsd]

yeah they are the kiddies, infinity and jbl are owned hy harmon kardon to be exact, although infinity's are better amp'd up than run off the headunit same with the JBL's, but they will be fine.

beware of larger magnets, they are much bigger than the OE ones!

 

[danregs]

actually infinity, JBL, and harmon kardon are all owned by the "harmon pro audio" group

sorry, i know thats no use whatsoever!

ive had trouble getting front speaker mounts from audio shops round here! 2 have told me to usr corsa ones No chance!!!

Can i have a link to where u guys got urs from and once fitted do they completely seal to the door (no gaps)?

My sound system is coming along, sounds awsome but for over £1500 (think thats right) and no subs you kinda expect it!! soundz like i have i 15" in the boot tho! No subs to keep weight down ]

Hi guys..sorry to bring up an old thread but this topic is what i need help with.

Ok so basically...i've bought some Front component speakers, and am having a problem with the fitting. Do the wires which connect to the speaker from the crossover unit need to soldered on?? Thanks.

 

[bruza]

anyone?
