If you are a novice and want to install as well as connect the speakers to the amplifiers by yourself, you are in the right place. You'll learn the ins and outs of wiring car speakers or Subwoofer to the speakers with understandable diagrams.
So, no confusion will be left, and also it requires no technical knowledge. Different car audio system requires different instruments. For instances: a single amplifier system requires a pair of speakers and a subwoofer whereas a 4-channel amp needs two pairs of speakers, a subwoofer and a mono amp.
The other tools are:. It is the very first step for every car audio installation, indeed, every automotive audio installation. So, at first, disconnect the negative wire from the battery cable.
It helps you to avoid sudden short circuit. The latest model has a simple negative wire, and you can remove it without any tools. But, you may need a "radio code" to reactivate the radio for some models. When you want to install the system, the placing is the foremost important factor. You must mount the amplifiers and car speakers at least three feet away from the metal chassis to prevent annoying static, buzzing or humming.
So, you may attach the car speakers to the back of the subwoofer box , underneath the driver, underneath the trunk near the spare or behind the dashboard. Here, it is no matter where you place; you must mount it in a tight place. After deciding the place, you need an amplifier wiring kit which fits your size. The kit must have exact gauge wires with a fuse holder to protect your amplifier from being damaged.
Here is a cation. Don't use pliers to crimp the connectors. Instead of the pliers, you can use a crimping tool which creates no trouble with the connectors. In fact, a crimping tool is much more worthy of than the fliers.
Now, connect the positive wire to the engine bay from inside the car. Then fit the wire to a rubber hole inside the car. The cars come with some rubber holes to be fed the positive wire. However, you may drill a hole unless you find the kit holes. Remember, it is the final stage to drill the car for attaching the wire. After feeding the positive wire into the engine bay, now attach it to the fuse box.
The other end of the positive wire is to be crimped. Now, connect the crimped end to the battery. As every audio system has some basics, you have to follow the basic rules of connection.
So, follow the previous step to connect the positive wire to the battery along with a fuse holder. Then, attach the negative wire to the car frame by pulling trim to find a good bolt. You can cover the wire with wax or sand down the area to get good contact.
However, you can also use a splice connector to connect the remote wire. Moreover, it is the best way to use a switch to control the power of the amplifier. Now, complete the wiring of the speakers. You may use a single or multiple speakers depending or series or parallel connection. That avoids a lot of problems with them bouncing around and even potentially having a short-circuit if the terminals come close to metal.
One of the installation tricks I use to solve this is by connecting wire ties to each other end-to-end for extra length. How to wire tweeters with built-in crossovers to speaker crossovers. The good news is that in most cases if the tweeter impedance matches that of the 2-way crossover this can work. Case 1 is a bit trickier. Diagram showing what happens when you change the speaker Ohm load connected to a crossover: crossover shift occurs. Because of this, when you change the speaker impedance you change the crossover frequency and the sound.
In that case the crossover frequency would shift downward 2 x the original value example: a 3. As a general rule:. In fact, after a certain power level tweeters can be damaged when driven hard by bass frequencies. Hi Marty, Great article, thank you. Just one specific question: I have a Clarion 2-way component system in front of my car.
It has 2 crossover boxes which the woofers and tweeters come off of. However, I need to replace the woofers as their surrounds are badly torn. The new door woofers are measuring around 4. Will using this higher impedance woofer with my old crossovers and tweeters cause a frequency shift? Or any other issues? But yes it will change the crossover frequency somewhat.
