Speaker swap help! <img border="0" alt="[kaboom]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_bomb.gif" />
Well, Ive done it this time. I got 4 Pioneer TS-A1767 6 3/4" speakers to swap with the factory ones. And problem is, the front two speakers (in the doors) are dual voice coiled. Is there any way in Gods name I can hook them up and not have a seperate tweeter?
I *think* there is a +/- set of wires for the tweeter that has 100% treble, and another set that has 100% bass. And I cant cut the highs to the front set and just have bass, cuz that would leave only the back two 4"ers making treble. And I cant kill the bass because they really pound for such a lil' speaker. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Speaker swap help! Nope,
you're not going to have much luck. The amp has the crossovers built in, so the wires running to the tweets have only highs and the wires running to the midbass have only lows. I don't think that there's a downconverter that can mix highs and lows into a single output. Sorry.
Hopefully someone else can chime in.

Re: Speaker swap help! I am going to step into the world of the unknown.... Im gonna dicect my Pioneers and seperate the whoofer from the mid/tweet assembly. I will then try to inject the highs into the assy. and the lows into the woofer. This should be fun. <img border="0" alt="[Banging Head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />
