  • replacing dash tweeters with 4" speakers?

    So today I fitted a new Sony HU with USB input and all that new jazz; major step up from my tapedeck and boot-6 stacker CD. I thought I'd update the speakers later but am having a bit of trouble on what to do. I just want to keep it simple and replace what I've got with something new - no buying amps and fully hectic subs.

    The door speakers are easy, simple 6 1/2" speakers but for the dashboard, I know tweeters are preferred as they're "magical" but would it be beneficial replacing the stock tweeters with just plain 4" speakers? I mean, the mount that we've got in there looks like a bugger to work with and I'm not really keen on drilling new holes for new tweeters. And yes, my stock dash tweeters do work

    Suggestions/comments?

    I've got 4" pioneers in my dash. You just have to get a 'basic' looking speaker so that the factory grille fits over still

      Can I suggest getting some Jaycar tweeters? They sound awesome, are super cheap and literally fit PERFECTLY into the hole that is there.

        Hmmm... looks doable. Site says the warehouse is out of stock though - will take a trip to the nearest store when the time comes round.

        Although, cheers guys!

        Now with wiring, are the current wires fine for the 4" speakers Hayden? Or is there a special way to connect them to the HU?

          Yeah something simple like that. Mine have surprisingly decent sound quality for such a cheap speaker.

          Yes, I just used the stock connections and plugged in the speaker voila.
