Just a Tweeter Question

PCT · May 30, 2015

So i have some Kicker "tweeters" Kicker DS35 3.5" 2-Way DS-Series Coaxial Car Speakers in my dash and they are 4 Ohlms, so im guessing when both wired they are at 2? right? If they are wired will it overload my head unit, or are they fine?

I cannont find a 8 Ohlm 3.5 tweeter ANYwhere? will the kickers work? i unplugged them for now

anyone

If you wire each speaker to its own channel, you will be fine.

how do i do that through factory harness?

robo99 · May 31, 2015

If you are putting them in factory locations, and using the wires that powered the factory speakers there shouldn't be a problem.

well i have 2 4 ohlm speakers and my brother told me that they will drop to 2 ohlms the way they are wired... is that true, and if so my HU is not 2olhm stable

Etroze86 · Jun 1, 2015

Yes its true dependant on how they are wired and there are actually quite a few aftermarket HU that do 2ohm stereo but you have to read your owners manul for that.

ill re-read mine but mine i dont think is, thats why i am wondering if anyone else out there has replaced the dash speakers with a diffrent 8 ohlm speaker

PCT · Jun 1, 2015

Yup my head unit is capable of 4 to 8 ohlms

With each channel driven, should be fine.

Are the dash speakers separte wiring then the door speakers? Like separate channel, otherwise the Ohms would be to low because it will drop my kickers to 2 ohms. I ordered New 2 2" Tweeters Speaker Home Audio Pair 8 Ohm Replacement 3 1 2" 3 5" Frame | eBay
Kinda worried because there no name, but they fit an i dont know how to make my own custom mount.

I would like to know if anyone has a audio diagram, because these speakers will need a crossover, and im wondering if it is built in to the wiring or no?

Etroze86 · Jun 2, 2015

I believe they are in series so yes they would drop, but why do you want to have 3 different speakers anyways it just makes it hard to sound great when you get into tuning?

To test the resistance of the stock speakers, take your trusty VOM to the disconnected speaker. Put it on resistance and touch the leads to the appropriate terminal. Hopefully the tweets you ordered will work. Look for something called a bass blocker. You wire in-line on the positive wire I think.

Here is a link to the techauthority where you can get a diagram https://techauthorityonlinedemo.extra.chrysler.com/service/repair/wiring/view/classic.htm

FWIW, the dash and front door speakers are running off of the same line.

Also FWIW, you are placing tweeters in your dash? That is a lot of highs being you are running coaxials in your doors. Ouch. I would have elected to go mid-range there.

PCT · Jun 2, 2015

the reason im putting tweeters in the dash, is because its wired to be in there. if these ones sound good and arent bad tweeters i will replace the door speakers once again. prolly 6x9 rear, 6.5 front and 3.5 dash. and my dual 10's in the sub box.

Stock is a mid, not a tweeter.

SlowRoller · Jun 2, 2015

Can always add a resistor,,, I did as I felt the fronts were too bright compared to the rest of my set up.

PCT · Jun 3, 2015

My brother came over and said everything sounds like ****, recommened me getting new speakers in the doors, and a new amp... everything just sounds one, I really only have Lows and Mid. Im going to check with my tweeters though are prolly crap...

What would yall think about 6.5 8 ohm speaker for front so then i can put my kickers in the dash, and some sorta of 6x9 in rear

troutspinner · Jun 3, 2015

You would be much better off getting a pair of component speakers up front. You can mount the tweeter in the dash or preferably in the sail panel. The component set comes with a crossover and will alleviate you having to worry about ohms and using both door and dash lines.

Etroze86 · Jun 3, 2015

Yep just run new speaker wire, with new comps and bam all problems solved, no funky wiring to figure out or deal with to "make work".
