So I am thinking of going for a pair of midrange (component) with crossovers in the front. Can you recommend any speaker model which will fit in the front speaker slot of esteem?
The speakers are connected directly to Pioneer DEH-P5750 head unit. Later on i am going for an amp so the speaker as well as the crossover should be able to handle it. |
Hi Dmitri,
I can understand your lack of mid frequencies inside the car. Ovals in the back with only tweeters in the front is not a good thing to do.
The esteem accomodates a 4" speaker in the front. If its the old esteem, the position of these speakers is brilliant, corner top dash. However the newer esteems relocated these speakers to fire at the knees. Bad.
JBL doesnt even make a 4" component system and i dont think other mfrs do either. Besides, you already have tweeters so why waste them?
Just buy a decent pair of 4" normal speakers. Make sure theyre powerful enough to handle an amp in the future.
If you want to save money on a crossover for this speaker (basically cut sme bass off the front speakers) i have an excellent supercheap idea.
Go down to lamington road and ask for 2 pcs of 100microfarad, 50Volt electrolytic capacitors. (Dont faint, its not that hard to say it) Should cost you about 10 bucks each. twist them back to back (Negative to negative)
then use the 2 positives as in/out.
Let me explain. 2 capacitors. each with a neg and pos legs. take the 2 negative legs and twist them together and forget it. Now you have 2 capacitors, joined like siamese twins. each with on positive leg sticking out, free. Now connect this to the Positive terminal of the speaker only. Meaning: one of the postive legs go to the positive terminal of the speaker and the other, goes to the speaker wire.
Hey presto: effective crossover.
I have tried to sound as less-technical as possible. However if this sounds confusing, read it again, nahi toh ask me again, i'll help you.
Cheers
