Hello all. I really have limited knowledge on speaker stuff so hoping someone could give me some advice.
I have a 2015 Citroen C4 Grand Picasso 2 with a blown front door speaker. Ideally I would like to upgrade a little from the factory speakers, the first problem being there is very little depth to work with thanks to the window so any advice on good slimline speakers would be good. But the main question is what is best option out of the three below which I'm considering (or non of these?)

But the main question is what is best option out of the three below which I'm considering (or non of these?)
Option 1: buy a set of component speakers and replace only the door speakers, leaving the factory tweeters in place. This is because I believe the factory tweeters don't have a cross over as such but instead something (resister or something) on the tweeter itself to block out the frequencies it doesn't want. The new ones wouldn't have this so I would have to run crossover wires. Running new crossover wires between the dash board and door panel looks like it will be very very awkward and require quite a lot of dismantling so I'm not keen. Option two: replace the door speakers with full range coaxel speakers (and still leave the tweeters) this would only really be due to price and speakers available if it works out better than a set of components. But not sure if this would work or cause any issues. Option 3: remove the head unit ( a touch screen unit) to gain access to the speakers wires which I assume wire into this screen ( correct me if I'm wrong) and identify the front door speaker and tweeter cables (any help on how I would do this would be great) and then cut and terminate the tweeter cables from the head unit and cut the front door speaker cables and install the cross over here, using the factory wires from the tweeter speaker. Therefor not requiring any new cables. But again not sure if there would be any problems with this and if there would be room and enough cable to do this. Hope this all makes sense, if any one is able to offer any advise at all it would be greatly appreciated. |
