NorCalMike Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 So I'm trying to decide on my door speakers for my 96 tahoe, I listen to all music types (literally Garth Brooks to E-40) and I like some hard bass and sq. I have 2 10s on 250w each right now, and down the road will have 2 12's with some where around 600w each. The factory fronts have a seperate tweeter and I would like to replace it and the 6.5 with a component set. What I cant decide is if I should add a 6.75 coaxial to the front doors (in addition to the 6.75 component set) and just put the same 6.75 coaxial in the rear doors. Or just run component sets in the front and rear doors alone. (Rear doors do not have a factory tweeter) All of the speakers will be amped sooner or later. I'm planning on running Rockford Fosgate P1675-S for Components and if I do coaxial they would be the Rockford Fosgate P1675. I plan on using a Rockford Fosgate R400-4D Any thoughts or suggestions? I'm not sure if having 2 sets of components or 1 set with 2 sets of coaxial would be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boom50cal Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 In your situation, I am going to say it would be best and easiest for you to go ahead and just run the coaxials all around. Only reason is, having the coax's in the rear and the components up front, with the tweeter higher up than the mid, is going to tweak with the sound stage all kinds of different ways. Going to really confuse your ears. On 1/4/2013 at 9:31 PM, HatersGonnaHate said: Wow. 184 posts and I think you're a fucking asshole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorCalMike Posted February 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 The factory tweeter location is only about 4" higher than the 6.5 location. Would that really mess with it that much? I don't notice anything odd as it is now. I also forgot to add in my original post that there are factory 4x10 locations in the rear roof, which are currently removed because they were blown and driving me nuts. I would like to put some Rockford Fosgate P1462 (4x6 2 way coaxial) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Lightning Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 I'd start out with a good replacement component set and properly seal up your doors.

boom50cal Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 It may somewhat, probably wouldn't. But just for simplicity sake, the coax's would be my choice. I ran some cheaper kicker coax's in my 96 RCSB, and loved the way they sounded even being so low in the door. Having the mid and tweeter both down there kept me from getting listening fatigue, like I do in my F150 since I can't seem to get it balanced out On 1/4/2013 at 9:31 PM, HatersGonnaHate said: Wow. 184 posts and I think you're a fucking asshole.

NorCalMike Posted February 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Soooo I just went out and looked. Turns out I have Rockford Fosgate R1675's (Prime, I want punch) in all 4 doors, no idea how the front tweeters are wired in. If at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Lightning Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 You have a long way to go before seeing a proper sound stage. I worked on a truck similar for years ...
