whoanelli Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Hi, thanks to all that respond! I have a '12 Limited w/ the full set of speakers and MFT. Like alot of owners would like to upgrade my speakers, the front doors and pillars...seldom have anyone in the back. I'm looking at these for the doors...Kenwood KFC-P680C. I thought I read somewhere that I will lose the pillar speakers (the signal?) if I make a switch in the front doors? If not, what size are those pillar speakers and what's a popular upgrade? It seems to me most of the sound for the driver is coming from the 2 locations that I've mentioned, doors and pillars and therefore would like to concentrate my upgrade in those 2 areas. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitulu Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 You have component speakers in the front doors, meaning that the woofer is in the doors, and the tweeter is in the A-pillar. I do not know how the factory speakers work with the signal coming from the radio, but when you buy replacement component speakers the usually come with a crossover. The wire from the head unit (stereo) is run to the crossover, and then separate wiring is run from the crossover to the woofer and tweeter.

Dingo Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 That's not true. You have a regular full function speaker and a separate tweeter in the pillar. They're on separate channels. You can replace either singularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoanelli Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Ok thanks guys, but I'm now just as confused. Maybe I didn't pose the question properly..... If I replace my front door speakers with aftermarket ones, will I lose the functionality of the pillar speakers based upon the pillars +/- getting their "signal" via the door? Thanks again!

Dingo Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 They'll be fine. They get nothing from the door speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoanelli Posted January 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Thanks Dingo. Would you happen to know the size of the pillar speakers and their ohm rating? Last question, I promise....thanks for your help.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 They're not a standard size. My Boston ISTS tweeters fit well, though. They're some stupid impedance like 3.2 or something. You can always use higher impedance, but not lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
