Changed my front speakers seeing how only one was working....It was a easy install, & the speakers sound great, so I'll let this pics speak for themselves.

 

Cool, but I'd have recommended MDF mounting rings over reusing the plastic crap that's in there.

 

Thanks but uh...how come? & I also want to know how do you tell the difference between the positive & negative wire in the door? I couldn't tell the difference & when I play from certain sources the left speaker sounds louder than the right

 

3 reasons.

1. Sound quality. Resonance. Plastic reflects sound waves and resonates/vibrates. So does your metal door frame. MDF is a dead material, pretty much absorbs sound waves, or at the very least, vibrates much less, speakers sound better.
2. Easier to mount speakers to MDF than spend the time to hack up your speaker and fish around for a mounting point in the soft plastic.
3. Your OEM speakers wouldn't be butchered, and you can return to stock, or sell those speakers any time you want.

I have the positive/negative wire colors memorized. But when I don't, I use a multimeter to determine which OEM wires are positive/negative.

These are the reasons I was telling you to have me do the work. Yea, you got it done, but you're missing the finesse and the other 40% of the knowledge to make it a really quality install, no offense.

 

are those speakers factory bose speakers? because I heard bose speakers are more difficult as far as the amp..

 

These are non bose, I wish they were bose, I probably wouldn't have changed them.

 

They are more complicated in terms of installation considerations.

 

1) Thanks, I might just go back & change the brackets seeing how I have to double check the speaker wires anyway.

3) The OEM speakers were completely blown with the coning & all out

 

oh.. because I have bose speakers, but also have alpine type r speakers and a 1000watt vpower alpine amp that I was considering putting them in.

 

Makes sense. You probably won't notice a difference in sound if you switched to MDF rings. You might as well save yourself the few bucks for the rings since the speakers are already installed. It's only in larger/more expensive installs that it makes a difference. Still a practice I bring to all installs though.

When you check your wiring, wrap the leads in electrical tape. Something might be grounding out against the metal door.

 

You're going to have to run all new speaker wiring.

 

Sounds good & I did..that's why I figured I probably wires a positive to a negative, also what do you think about heat shrink wire? I use those with other bare wires I connect together.

 

I almost never use heat shrink - I crimp everything.

 

Any specific reason? Or you just rather crimp?

 

Yea just easier/faster than fussing with solder.

 

Lol alright thanks
