Just need a YES/NO answer
« on: 06 May 2007, 03:19 »
Hi all,

I'm Jamie, bought a MK3 Colour-Concept a few weeks ago and need some help.
Going to install component speakers with crossover in my MK3 and after reading over the forum I need to clarify I have everything right in my head.

1) Golf wiring sends FULL signal to tweeter in dash

2) Tweeter mounting has the circuitry to split away the lower frequencies and send them out again; to the door speaker (hence the two sets of wires coming out of the tweeter)

So to fit components with a crossover I do this :

1) Take both tweeter and door speaker out

2) Feed the standard wiring that fed the tweeter to the LINE IN on my crossover box

3) Feed my new tweeter wiring to the TWEETER OUT on the crossover box

4) Feed the door speaker VIA CUT AND STRIPPED STANDARD WIRING to the WOOFER OUT on my crossover box


5) The only wiring modifications I need to make are modifying the connectors in the door to fit new speaker and stripping the two sets of wires that where in the tweeter to feed into my crossover LINE IN and WOOFER OUT


Please can somebody put my mind at rest and verify I have got this all right in my mind.

Cheers !
Jamie

yes unless you want to amp them, which would be a good idea depending on how decent the componant set is your going to get, you may get negative effects and be better off leaving the standard speakers there if they are a decent componant set run off just the head unit. and also figuring out the + and - from the standard wiring can be a pain unless you really know what your doing.

Hey,


Thanks for the replies.
It's just so I know where I stand with the whole thing.
I have a wiring diagram for the wire colour so will be ok there.

Cheers very much again
Jamie
