Component/Coaxial Question

[Pawlwawl06]

I'm hoping the car audio specialists will chime in here.

So I have the Polk db component setup in the front. My left front woofer just blew, and I bought a set of 6-1/2 Polk db651 coaxials to replace them (same speakers that are in the back).

So the fronts will be two 1" tweeters, two coaxial speakers(woofer and tweeter), backs will be the same coaxials).

What exactly do I need to change on the crossover so the coaxial speakers get the frequencies for both tweeter and woofer, while the 1" tweeter maintains its current frequency? Is this possible?

If you have adjustable crossovers, adjust them... But I doubt you do... So what I would do is:

Keep the tweets hooked to the crossover like they are

Hook the amp wire to the crossover AND the coax...

Wondering though... Why wouldnt you just buy some midwoofers to replace the blown one rather than having 2 tweets in the front? The highs are going to be overkill and probably way too bright for easy listening.

So i should be looking for 1-way speakers? I may just save the Polks for when my back speakers need replacing...

I'd be looking for 1 ways... Thats why you have the component set in the first place.

You could always try finding something on ebay, maybe even single speakers because someone blew their other one as well

I've done many car audio systems and can tell you this, adding extra tweets up front may mess up the image and not help with sound. Additionally if you piggyback onto a coax's built in passive crossover you change the crossover point . Not a good idea. Stay Coax only up front (you may have a problem with low image placement) or keep a separtate midwoof in the door, tweet in the stock location (works well for most applications).

Thanks for the tips, yes I just bought another Polk component set so I have all replacement speakers, now I'll be ready for the next blow-out haha
