Adding a resistor for 4 ohm dash speakers=works!

Thanks powrRam.
So it just pops out.
That’s not terrible. Thought it was worse.

Well I just wired in my 10w 4ohm resistors...and VOILA!!! my 3.5" Kicker CS speakers in the dash are back in line and sounding MUCH better!!!

How did you wire them in?

Has anyone of you whom have spliced in these resistors actually observed the heat these create after a decent period of use?

I’m fixing to pull the trigger on a set of 4ohm 10W ceramic.

These will be installed in both dash corners on tues.

These will be installed in the near future in the back doors.

I’m thinking of leaving the front doors alone (with the stock Alpines)

After installing the 4 ohm resistors I played my stereo for about 10 minutes at a moderately high volume (volume setting of 20, 8.4 system) and noticed no heat created whatsoever.

I went to Advanced Auto and bought the $14 trim tool kit....red plastic tools that won't mar up your plastic pieces. That's what I did.
