[QUOTE="Kai Winters, post: 8602122, member: 574994"] I don't understand what your describing. If you have no place to install front speakers...there are no locations where factory speakers were installed in the front of the vehicle?...you will most likely be better served by installing a good pair of speakers in the rear deck location under the rear window. I had a 60's model Cadet...what a honking piece of junk, I hope yours is better. The head unit...please identify the head unit so we have an idea what your working with...most likely is pushing 15watts to each speaker and that is sufficient for efficient speakers but driving them hard will result in noise, clipping and eventually damage. Same with the speakers...describe what you are using, brand/size/etc, so we have some idea what the hell you are doing. I have no idea what you are talking about when you state "I connected speakers from a DVD into it's front channels"...describe what you have done more clearly. What dvd? What speakers? What??? If there are no locations designed for a speaker in the front of a car you are going to have to figure out how to build some sort of enclosure for a speaker. How did you put speakers in the front center console? I'd guess they'd sound lousy as there is not much room, the speakers must be very small and if you are using the console for a common enclosure for both speakers the sound waves must be playing hell with each other in the console. You are also playing hell with speaker impedance. I'm not sure what you're describing is working or even good for the system. But I'll listen to others that are knowledgeable in this area. If I were in your shoes and using what you are "describing" I'd get a good pair of speakers and install them in the rear deck connecting them to the front channels until I figured out how to install a pair of speakers somewhere in the front then switch the connections to the front and back. I'd not mess around with parallel connections to change the ohm's. I did a googly search for your vehicle and it seems that front speakers are installed in the front dash next to the side window vents. It looks like they are very small speakers and if so you are going to have a very hard time replacing them with something decent...as well as having a difficult time??? just getting to them...whew ! There are pictures of different model years and I'm not sure what I was looking at as there are no years given other than '84 to '91. Good luck, give us more information...especially pictures of the front area so we can see what you have to work with...and keep us informed. [/QUOTE]
