[QUOTE="Old_Slapper, post: 8889864, member: 690458"] What you have are called "component speakers." It's where the woofer is separate from the tweeter. The typical speaker you see, where the tweeter is located in the middle of the woofer, is called a "coaxial speaker." Component speakers come with crossovers. The crossover will separate the frequencies between the woofer and the tweeter. The crossover will have one input, from the stereo, one output for the woofer, and one output for the tweeter. In you case, the factory speakers have the crossovers/capacitors mounted on the tweeter. Your woofer are not crossed over. An aftermarket radio will say 50x4, but it's really about 17x4 watts. However, your car might have a factory amplifier in it, so you will not be using the power from the new radio, unless you bypass the factory amp. Also, you would be a lot happier with a double din aftermarket radio over just a BT adaptor. [/QUOTE]
