mercedes c320 indash(x910bt) connect the surround speakers.

[raverx3m 10+ year member]

so im finally done with my indash install which turned int a whole system

originally i was gonna install the indash alone

in the in the process i did

indash avic-x910bt

4 channel amp

sub amp

replace sub

add backup camera.

the speakers turned out to be 2 ohm which i did not really plan for.

so the system consists of

the head unit(cd/tuner)

cd changer in the glovebox

amplifier in the bottom right corner of the trunk

6.5 components up front

6.5 coax rear doors

3' center speaker(the top heatvents are plugged for some reason)

10' subwoofer

all audio components are connected ith optical cable.

so i hooked up the door speakers and sub

speakers were 2.5 ohm so i had to use a 4 channel

after powering it up and testing it i found that it lacks mids, mid/highs

and realized that the 3' center dash speaker and 2 3' speakers in the trunk lid were for that reason- to provide the midrange and surround.

it would be ok if i had 4 speakers then i could just run them off deck power andbe done with it...

but theres only one speaker up front and 2 in the back.

i can power the back ones with caps in stereo mode

but what do i do with the front center?

is there a circuit that will sum up the front channels into one output without shutting down the deck amplifier?

the center speaker on top of the dash

Bad ***. Where did you find that leather covered double-din install kit? Or did you make it?

 

[raverx3m 10+ year member]

itsa mercedes double din kit.

i didnt have the pioneer cage so i used a kenwood one which gave me more control over the depth of the unit( had to drill 4 holes to screw it in tho)

i used a trim ring and bondoed around it to cover the holes and i had an extra heardrest cover that matched the dash vinyl pretty good so i used that. turned out pretty nice.

i should have filled up the holes around the indash tho, would look much better

but can anyone help me out? because im really not liking the sound as it is now.

can i just use left positive and right negative output from the deck to run the center speaker?

i hooked up a center speaker ina volvo today to see and it did work didnt shut down the stereo or anything

but it was a 5.5 ohm speaker
