Hello everyone! I am going to replace the factory speakers in my 1997 Intrepid. It’s the base model with the 3.3 in it. I was wondering if you guys think these will fit in the front doors:
top link don't work but what size are you putting in the doors? Stock size is 5.25 but i did a how to about putting 6.5 in there but it required some cutting of the door panel and grille.
So I replaced the speakers (I didn't have to modify the door panel, rigged the wire guard covering the speakers instead)
They sound like ****. They sound staticy and distorted. I am thinking I need to replace the head unit? The front speakers have 100watt rms with 300 watt max and the rears are 150 watt rms and 450w max. So could the problem be that the speakers are under driven? I am new to car audio and do not know what to look for. Polarity is correct, all wires were crimped properly... :ahh:
Everything is flush, I don't think it is the way they are installed. They are super secured and my father and I even used dynomat for sound proofing on every speaker as well. It sounds like there's interference or static all the way around. Could it be a grounding problem? If that is a possibility how would I check that? All 4 speakers sound like it... Does anyone know what the stock head units output is? I will upload a picture of the fronts just because you asked though, hopefully I can fit it into my schedule tomorrow (Full time college student athlete).
Personally...I would've upgraded the Headunit/Radio before changing speakers if there wasn't anything wrong with the original speakers.
Most radios without a factory amplifier have pretty low output ratings. Do you have to turn the volume way up now with the new speakers to get any noise?
The old speakers were completely blown... I am gonna upgrade the head unit before buying an amp. What would be a good head unit? (you seem pretty knowledgeable about sound) I only need an aux input and maybe bluetooth, I do not really care about usb.
