Actually, the capacitor wasn't needed, just the speaker frame trimming. My truck only has corner dash speakers. This speaker comes without any crossovers.
I doubt you could get this speaker up loud enough to distort in it's stock configuration with the stock radio. Maybe someone with a high powered amp could, I don't know. It's that loud and you'd have blood running from your ears before turning it up to distort.
I have a lot of music on a thumb drive in my truck. It's on random play. When Michael Jackson's Jam came on the sound of the window breaking in the beginning of the song startled the crap out of me. The drum clacks during the song have that same intensity. Stinking loud. That's the frequency this speaker appears to be centered at. That frequency and higher. I tried to tame it with a lot of bass, that helps some. Again, you can't hear anything but bass from any other speaker in the truck with this little monster in the dash.
Ideally this would be an argument for 3 way speakers in the front doors. Add the missing parts of the low midrange up to this loud midrange speaker's beginning threshold.
In hindsight before I added the resistor and crossover to the Infinity speaker I now remember that's why I did what I did to it. It had too much midrange to high in it's stock configuration in our truck dash. No warmth of the lower registers of the low to low midrange frequencies where the human voice has some bass or guitar leads as well.
Taken from one of my recording software's blog. "When applied to speech, the human voice spans a range from about 125Hz to 8kHz". Now everyone should understand what I'm talking about. My Infinity speakers are crossed over from 100 Hz to well, Infinity.
I don't know if all of the aftermarket dash speaker brands are like the Infinity Ref 3032Cfx, they look similar. The Infinity speaker comes crossed over at 8K Hz and above. Look at the statement again from the blog. Now do you see the missing freqencies? The stock truck dash speaker is crossed over at 8K Hz, the same. The Faital speaker by design not by spec sounds like a speaker crossed over at 8K. None of these speakers are giving you what's necessary for proper sound from the front dash.
This is getting long. I'll start another with a new idea I have.
