How to add tweeters on Base Stereo system?
Hi! I have 1 question and I couldn't found any certain answer using search method.
If I am to add tweeter on base stereo system without tweeters how to and where to connect? If I have 4 ohms tweeter and I connect in parallel to current midbass that would drop impedance even more and will affect HU? I would of course add in line capacitor but this impedance how to solve? Thanks! |

Adding an OEM tweeters is as simple as plugging the tweeter to the mid -the mid bracket has the tweeter socket molded-in. The issue is now three speakers connected in parallel, separated by caps. In theory the load "seen" by the radio/iDrive should be whatever the impedance of the driver is at its frequency band, as that's the purpose of the caps. See the two caps as a "poor's man" three-way crossover and then you will understand its function. But in reality it could be possible that the radio/iDrive could not support this load configuration in the long term just because of its internal IC amp very low power output and finicky load tolerance. My suggestion: try it and decide by yourself. |

For the base stereo, the mid-range speaker in the doors are connected in parallel with the woofer under the seat. The mid-range speaker have a built-in capacitor to act as a cheap crossover (see picture). This kind of cheap crossover act a simple 6 dB/octave high pass at around 200 Hz.

Finally I would go with Audison BitTen, some Rainbows or Audio Development in front, Audio System 20cm under seat, Phase Aliante SI sub in trunk and 5 ch amp or 4 ch amp + monoblock. But this setup will go in Jan, so I wanted some high freq in car until then. Sound is lousy overall but most annoying for me is this lack of high freq. If I add tweeters like I want in parallel with mid and add capacitor in series for xover, I could play with some small resistors in series also? Let's say I try 1 ohm, 2.2 ohm or similar to try att. the tweeter? |
