    Blew my speaker - need opinion

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So I blew my left rear speaker on accident by putting the speaker as the sub instead of the lr. I managed to fix quite a few of my little issues with the amp, got rid of the buzzing, and the woofer will turn on and off now.

    BUT as I said I busted the left rear so do I order another of the same speaker because gap has it for $15 or do I order some upgraded ones? My amp isn't anything fancy its http://www.amazon.com/Power-Acoustik...8194814&sr=8-6

    Front speaker isn't hooked up as far as I know (is there a way to hook it up with the avic z120 I have?)

    Lastly, if I get new speakers, how do I wire the tweeter in with it?

    Upgrade and use your amp on your front speakers, move your current front speakers to the rear and run them off the head unit.

    Not sure exactly what you mean about the tweeter, but I am sure you know its at the top of the door card, depending on what upgraded speakers you get they will most likely have a separate crossover, your input (from your amp) goes into one side, and out the other side are terminals for wires that you run the woofer and the tweeter. (sorry if this sounds dumb, I guess I am not sure what you are asking).

    Do you mean you are leaving the stock tweeter and thinking of upgrading just the woofer? if replacing with a new stock speaker no worries, if moving the front speakers to the back, same thing, just unplug and plug in, if upgrading fronts (or rears) to components then remove the stock tweeters and replace with upgraded.

    Like Naiku said, don't bother running your rear speakers off the amp, its a waste (assuming you don't have enough channels). Run the fronts off the amp and the rears off the HU or the factory amp. If you are not planning on buying components, i would either just stick with a factory speaker replacement, or put in good coaxials and leave the factory tweeters disconnected. I'd probably just stick with a factory speaker though. They are surprisingly good when fed enough power.

    In the door, the tweeters and the l speaker appear to be ran off the same output. The factory speaker have two terminals on it.

    I ran the wires for the rear speakers to the amp, so If I run the fronts off the amp, I'll have to run new wires and splice the rears back in. I toyed with the idea of using the stock amp, but I couldn't figure it out so if you have a Pinot to show what needs cut on a non Bose non gps unit then awesome, I might do that.
