Installing kicker speakers in my 1997 camaro. The plug adapter circuit city sold me worked great for the back seat speakers. The front door speakers have 4 wires. They do not have a adapter for this plug they told me to splice the wires. Do i solder two wires on each side of the speaker, will this work?

 

NO - do NOT do that.

Use the woofer wires ONLY...or you can cut apart your speaker and wire them as components. Using the woofer wires only will give you a full signal as opposed to the HPF tweeter signal, but you will have less overall power. If you have an aftermarket HU, your best option is to wire them directly to that.

 

I noticed the same thing when I did mine. Although I recently deleted my monsoon....

I might be incorrect on this.. One set of wires is a high signal the other is full signal. I hooked up one set at time till it sounded right. I just cut my connector off.

 

You are correct as far as Camaros go -- the woofer receives a full signal, the other is HPFiltered by the Monsoon amp. Use one set of the other, woofer being the best option.

Firebirds had their tweeters powered by the Delco HU, which is the same HU used in all cars - Monsoon or not. So rather than make 2 HUs, they have HPF in the wiring from the HU to the tweeters.

 

If I remember correctly the factory door tweets in my '99 TA had small 4.7uf capacitors attached to them as their Hi-pass filters.

 

Correct -- Camaros have the signal coming from the Monsoon amp (not the HU), and the amp does the HPFiltering.

 

Thanks alot for all the 'heads up'. Im just gonna leave my stock front ones in, and they are actually good sounding. I had to have my middle ones replaced though becsause they were blown. So now i have to kicker speakers that i cant take back to the store because i got them around christmas time and they were buy one get one half off, so they wont let me take them back because of the sale. I dont care though im just gonna keep them.
