Fitting Component Speakers

[Tom3006]

Got some SPL Dynamic components that I had in my old Saxo that I need to put in the Clio. Been searching on here and don't fancy taking the dash off so was thinking about mounting the tweeters on the bit of plastic above the door cards where the mirror adjuster would be instead. Had them there on my old Saxo.

To wire them up, am I right in thinking I can just disconnect the standard tweeters and wire the crossovers to the wire for the door speakers? Apparently the door speakers receive the full signal from the headunit as there are no crossovers on the standard speakers, and all the tweeters do is filter out the low pass signal with a resistor?

Would this work ok? How have people on here wired up their components?

You are correct. I have a set of amped SPL's in mine. Very good.

 

[Tom3006]

Did you wire up yours the same way? Thinking about amping mine up in the future but will need to put better wires in for the speakers

you can cut the loom and wire in the crossover before the headunit but it will be hassle in the long run

your better off removing the top part of the dash its not hard to do and your also better off running wires through the doors since if your planning on amping it will be alot less hassle then having to take everything off again mate

No I put new wires through to the door and had the crossovers under the seats, replaced the tweeters etc.
Was a b**ch of a job.

​i did this except put the crossovers under the dash

My amp was in the boot so made more sense to have them under the seats, nearer the boot. Less wires.

i have crossovers inside the dash by the headunit and also behind the door cards

Cheers for the replies. Will hopefully get mine sorted for the weekend

Mine are under the dash too, easy job to do really, it took me 5 mins to remove the dash. Also cut the standard loom and wired the crossover inbetween, so if needed you could just change the speakers back to standard using the standard connector blocks.

 

[James28]

The second pair I installed I also just cut the loom. Couldn't be bothered rewiring. Just got a Female > male ISO extender, cut that behind head unit so I didn't actually have to cut car loom.

 

[bionic]

yea i done that aswell before i amped my speakers but amping is far better

They were amped when I did it that way too
