Speaker stereo installation question for 2019 Ford Escape Titanium with 8in Sony screen

Have you considered locating the speaker wires in the harness behind your head unit that goes to the two speakers, and installing an inline speaker controller, which can be used to reduce the volume & power going to a speaker? You will need the wiring harness diagram, and it will avoid having to disassemble your door. Short of that, you may be stuck with turning down the volume on your radio.

I have a Haynes Repair manual for my 2006, and it has a detailed wiring diagram in the appendix. I used it to wire my electric start button and trunk release button.

Good luck.

Did the output on the tweeters drop when turned down the mid & treble?

no, still same sound no matter where i put the treb & mid, ford sucks, called them and tried to find info on installed factory speakers and they knew nothing, even said they should have specs somewhere on it, again stupid people, pushed me off to dealer, said same thing - no specs anywhere to be had

That's weird. You could try a resistor inline (series) with the tweeter to Tobe it down. I'd try 4 or 8 ohm non-inductive resistor from parts express.

If it was that easy to do, I would have tried many things, as said I cannot do it, need a pro to take it apart and put back together, so might be a simple little fix but it will cost me hundreds of dollars to see if it works. Which puts me back at the beginning of this saga. Needed exact info to get it done properly, never was able to get it from any source tied. It was all guess work and what use to be the norm. So, it just really sucks, I hate ford and their lack of clear info and specs on stuff you own and bought.

Why is putting a resistor in line with the tweeter so difficult?
