So I sent the car stereo out and they had to put a new board in it. It worked but as soon as I turned it on the front right speaker was rattling. I bought a set of infinity 2 ohm coaxial speakers to replace it only to find that the original speaker has 4 wires. 2 for the tweeter and 2 for the woofer. I suspect that means that the amp works for the woofers only which means that is why the car has way too much bass distortion. So what did everyone else do. I can separate the tweeters on the speakers but I really do not want to. What should I do? Yes, I have seen the video on doing that but it seems like a bad idea. Remember, I am trying to keep the car as stock as possible but the truth is those front speakers were crap from the factory.

Anyone. I have seen the video on how to separate the mids from the tweeters. Only question is that the new speakers have a built in cross over. Do use the built in crossovers or not.

Separate the speakers and remove the crossovers. The amp drives both mids and tweeters.

However the crossovers protect the tweeter. So I need to bypass the crossovers. I assume the crossovers are the set of capacitors inline?

GaryDoug

Yes

I need to replace the front speakers in my 2000 Camaro SS - would like the original "plug and play" - anyone know where I can buy them ?

Not available anywhere as new. You may find some used ones on eBay. Match the part number on yours.

Other options:

1. Try to get a compatible speaker (2 ohms) from another speaker company. I tried Infinity and was disappointed with their 3.2 Ohms ones.

2. Repair yours by using a surround repair kit. https://www.speakerworks.com/speaker...-kits-s/65.htm

Thanks - I already did the passenger side (ebay) - how can I get the model (without ripping off the panel) of the drivers side to search for it ?

The ones in my 98 TA are 09370219 but I seem to remember there being some replacement part numbers.
