Ok, awesome, I'll probably just replace with a oe door speaker in that case. But before I do that, I found that a rattly drivers door is quite common, so I'll try some foam before I say the culprit is a blown speaker. Thread I found called rattly driver door, or something or other.

yeah, i forgot to add that-- a little bit of sound dampening can go a long ways.

I want to put a sub into my car but I'm not really looking to upgrade anything else. If I install the sub and amp, does that "take away" some of the load from the door speakers (from what I can gather are more just "subwoofers" rather than speakers?) or does it make no difference at all? I am going to do some deadening as well, help try and clean up the rattles and sound

no, it would just come through louder.
imagine each and every speaker in the car is a person singing a song in a group, but you're not particularly happy with the singing of one of those particular people. what you're proposing would add another singer that you're hoping to sing louder, over the person singing that you don't care for. a number of people do it, but because it doesn't fix the underlying issues, it's generally not recommended-- you will eventually have more problems because of it.

So it would seem the best bet is to get component 6.5" speakers up front, put those in the door, put the tweeters up in the factory spot and then have the subwoofer in the back and just leave the rear speakers as-is cause they don't do much of anything anyways

That's really all I'm looking for. I don't need anything super amazing, I'd much rather listen to the supercharger and exhaust with the windows down whipping through the PNW twisty roads but for long road trips or whatever it would be nice to not have this absolute dumpster fire of a sound system

Can you get any double din head unit to fit in our cars or do they have to be a specific size?

There are a few head unit manufacturers out that build modular units with even larger “floating” touch screens, but I’ve not seen any installed in our cars that fit properly. |

I read through some of the audio threads. I want to add a trunk subwoofer, but don't want a new head unit or take apart the dash at this time. In light of that, maybe someone can add insight to the below questions?:
1) I can tap into the audio signal wires coming to the stock rear amp, in order to provide a subwoofer with that same audio signal? 2) Is the above mentioned audio signal full spectrum at that point? 3) Is it better to ground the sub for the power return, or run a dedicated return line to the battery negative terminal? 4) How are people adding high-pass filtering to the door speakers after a sub install (since bass is no longer needed for the doors)? |

Answer 2) On the input to the amp, you'll have a full spectrum audio signal. The output however, has never to my knowledge been tested for where the built-in low-pass crossover is set at, nor is it's slope value known. Answer 3) Just ground your subwoofer amp to a bolt somewhere near the amp location. I used the bolt that holds down the OEM amplifier since it's no longer used in my setup. Answer 4) Since I went all aftermarket, I'm using all active crossovers either built into my head units or built into the amplifiers. You may want to add some passive crossovers to the door speakers as a high-pass filter. In effect, you'll have a band-pass setup in your doors like I do, but in your case you'll have very little adjustment potential. You won't be able to adjust the low-pass setting at all built into the OEM amplifier, and you have to physically replace the passive high-pass crossovers every time you feel the need to make an adjustment. Just remember to design your passive crossovers for 2-ohm drivers. Just letting you know what you're getting yourself into by trying to integrate existing factory equipment. It may be easier for you to install another amplifier to power the door speakers that has a band-pass crossover built into it. That way you'll have a much easier time making adjustments. Keep us informed of what you end up doing. I think back now that I could have probably gotten away with removing the passive crossovers from my stock speakers and ran them all off of the active setup that I have now instead of replacing them all with aftermarket drivers. Hmmmm....... |

One of these days someone will connect one of these factory systems up to an RTA and oscilloscope to give us the exact numbers for information's sake. But until then, and as long as we have aftermarket equipment to replace it with, not too many people are going to really worry about it. |
