Motors Adding speakers to car, without amp?

I'm sure it can be done, but I can't for the life of me find anywhere to guide/help me do it..

Im wanting to add 2 extra speakers (making 4) to my hedunit (45 X 4)
Im sure it is very very simple to do, but just need a bit of help before doing it.

thanks

 

are you replacing speakers or making boxes for them/mounting them somewhere?

your head unit has all the wires on the harness, just run wires from the speaker, and conenct it to the harness (solder, or connect with crimp terminals)

if you get component speakers YOU NEED an amp, if not then ya, just dont bump it too loud, because its 45wx4 PEAK, which means nothing in the audio world, rms you probly have 10-20 w x4 RMS (which is what you need)

so ya find some low power speakers or they will distort like a bitch

 

What car is it? I'm guessing that you want to add rear speakers.?

 

depends on how loud u like ur music.
you can just bridge them.... but with doing that its going to cause more resistance and its not going to be as powerful.

 

cheers guys, I thought I had just just kinda sandwitch the wire's in the harness/clip thing.
Im just doing this first, to see if I'd need an amp.

Its a corolla BTW

 

yeh prob best just to check... just out of interest.. which speakers are you putting in?
and dont have corrollas already have 4 speakers :S or is it just a front pair?

 

well that was really really easy,
mine is a '97 corolla (WRC) only has 2 front door speakers, but now has 3 working speakers, as I need more speaker cable lol.
thanks for the help anyways.

 

in which case it shouldnt have too many problems powering them as long as they are not specialists etc.....
most head units should be able to power at least 4 speakers!

 

as long as the speakers arent like a real brand (as in they came with the car) they will run off the hu perfectly

 

heh, why would I be taking out speakers that are already there and putting them back in

 

as long as the resistance isnt too high... then it shouldnt really a problem..

it working yet?

 

yeah worked fine, just need another 6meters of speaker cable, for the other speaker lol..

 

Can anyone help me??

I have a 98 nv or vl commodore and recently my amp was stolen is there anyway I can reconnect my speakers so I'm not using the amp have all the wires going from speakers to sub or do I just need to buy a new amp?

Being a girl I have no idea on car electronics but I would love to know!!

Thankyou

 

Pretty much as above, as long as your speakers are efficient, you can hook them up directly to your head unit, and they will run fine.

Most fancy looking high power speakers you can buy for cars however, aren't very effecient, so they won't go very loud from a head unit, since most head units struggle to put out 10w of real power/rms power.

So forget about hooking up the sub to your head unit, I think you're going to need to get a new amp installed. Keep in mind that cheap amps quote bs power figures, feel free to get a few quotes and run it by us or other audio forums.

Oh, and always turn the music down at least one block away from where you are going to park!!!!
