dude.........
i didn't know that.. that's horrible...
ok, just got done with the back side panel speakers... some interesting things ..... first off i'd always thought that those speakers were 2 ohms... the nokia's i pulled out were 4 ohms... i was able to take the crappy nokias out, and fit in 5.25's in the hole, while screwing the frame, and tweeter back over it, and then putting the side panel thhingy back in. it was really much easier than i ever thought.. you just have to break the clips, and take the nokia's out, and still use the frame.the back speakers make a world of difference. i still want to get an 8" sub in a 10x10x12 box to fit in the ski-pass though...
Resurrection!
Anyone know if there is a crossover or something hidden in the rear section that would cut highs if I buy this spearker as a replacement for the rears?
Do you have the HK system or the Nokia 10 speaker system?
To give you some insight, on the HK system there's only 1 pair of wires going to each of the pods. On the non-HK system, there's a seperate pair of wires to power the mids vs the tweets in the pods.
So, with the HK System, IIRC, there's a small crossover for the tweets to be powered off that channel as well as the mid. With the Non-HK 10 speaker system (Nokia), the amp probably has the mids and tweets of the rear pods crossed over seperately.
I'm pretty sure they did this on the HK's because they wanted to use 2 channels for the subwoofer so they chose to "steal" those channels from the rear pod tweets and just have them crossed over with a capacitor.
If you have the nokia sysem, it looks like you might be able to connect the tweeter input directly to the tweeter on the speaker (but you'd effectively be cutting leads on your speaker! Yikes).
You could probably just hook them up to the midrange channel of the Nokia Amp...
Or you could buy an HK amp from me for pretty cheap and then have two channels that are already crossed over to run a sub or some midbass?? I've always wanted to add some 8" speakers to the spots where the factory amp is at on a e36 vert without rollover protection...

Finally installed my speakers this past weekend.
Anyone know what is that module below the driver's side rear speaker? Is that for the vert top?

What did you do? My speakers are awful, so I am contemplating a change. Just put a new radio in, but that just shows me how awful the speakers are. So after I do my seat re-upholstry, I will be considering doing a speaker change and a door panel redo. How much did you spend?

On a good note, that makes getting to your speakers really easy!Originally Posted by patrick325
Sorry about your car man!
Thanks for the info Trayson.
Reef, I spent $55 on the speakers (link in one of my posts above). I had some Amazon money to spend and it was way overdue to replace the speakers. My engineer buddy/stereo expert did the wiring & hookup for me (went from the mid and tweeter factory 4 wire set up to a mid+tweet one piece two wire.)
I then weather stripped and taped the holes like a vietnam sweatshop to seal it off.
Wondering if anyone has a pair of black speaker covers. Both of mine (larger one on each door) have part of the trim broken off.
This might be a weird question, but is that a spot for a Subwoofer behind the seat. Is that factory or has that been made to fit before it ignited the fuel tank ? Just purchased an E36 Convertible yesterday and the sound system blows
