I've got an issue with an installer mixing Components, Co-axials, crossovers together
 

So far in my car audio investigation, I have:

Front -
-Panasonic 15w 4 ohm paper mids NO crossovers
-MB Quartz titianium 4 ohm tweeters w/12dB crossover thing.

Rear-
-Alpine Type R Co-Axial w/ crossovers (not sure on rating) 60w rms 160w peak

Head unit is Alpine CDA-9847

doesn't this just seem sloppy to anyone else?


This is what I want to do(since one of my paper panasonic speakers is blown and I can barely hear the tweets) and hopefully I can achieve it...Can I throw my Alpine coaxials up front and get rid of the stock/cheap speakers altogether without any additional wiring config. or different crossovers?

These are my speakers. They have an inline crossover.

It is safe to just splice them into the front speaker wires without any modification or re-wire?

The Alpines have a high pass only.....just like your current fronts. I wouldn't sweat it.

what does this mean? I can't get bass out of them?

No, it means that the speaker designer didn't feel the need (or have the budget) to install a low pass.

Is there a problem with the sound?

Started on the XO's for my new home cabs yesterday.
