TOP 10 Car Speaker Systems - Dont Buy Before You Watch this List 1. Alpine Type-R SPR-17S - Car speaker system - 110 Watt - 2-way - component - 6 ...

So I'm like electronically useless, and I just got a cd/dvd player for my car. From the looks of it, there is a single 1/8" audio output for outputting sound to the speakers.

I have all of the documentation on which wires are the positives and negatives for each speaker. My question is; how do I hook it up? I assume that it's more than simply twisting all the speaker wires together and soldering it to an 1/8 inch plug :-)

Sorry if I'm not clear, I'll try to add more detail if you ask.
There's not a best buy within 50 miles that has that service :-(
What I think is that I connect them all in series, getting a 1/8" cable with two spade lugs and plugging ALL of the positive cables to one and ALL of the negative cables to the other. Will this work?

we need the model of the radio., and type of car.

sounds like your missing the wiring harness to the radio,there should be a plug that has yellow,red,black .purple,green,white,grey,wires on it then you just need a harness for the vehicle, im sure there is a walmart close by that will have it. if not 50 miles is cheaper than frying you electrical system.

I hooked up 2 10" subwoofers (250 rms each) and 2 4"x10" rear speakers (150 rms each) to a 4 channel amp (75 rms per channel). It was working fine for about a week, then the rear right speaker smoked, stank, then the amp went into shut down mode. The 2 subs and the rear left all work until the amp shuts down. I have a 1.5 farad capacitor leading into the amp, and my ground is secured tightly to the frame of the car with about 8 inches of 4 g wire between the amp and the bolt holding it down. I have checked and dble checked to make sure there is no pinching of any wires, and I can't figure out what is going on. Please help if you can. Everything is rated at 4 ohms, nothing is in bridged or parallel mode. It is straight wired: 4 channels, 4 speakers.

No matter what the specs say...there is no way a 4X10 speaker will handle 75 watts rms....more like 30. That being said your right rear 4X10 is history...when the smoke gets out it's gone! If your running any bass to them at all, it will continue to happen when you replace it/them. You need to cut out the bass to them....anything below 120hz approx. Your amp should have some sort of crossover built in. It all depends on brand on how to hook up. That will help some. Also watch the gains on these channels. Don't run them all the way up...cut back some and the 4X10's will live a long natural life.

Your amp should be O.K. if it's of quality. Just replace the 4X10 and you should be ready to go again after your readjustment of the amp. If you're not sure, got to a quality shop. They shouldn't charge much to re-wire the set up for a longer life and help with the adjustment of your amp.

Every time the bass drum hits or a low bass note hits from a song the back speaker on my 03 Avalon makes a popping noise. I think the spider might be broken. I put some paper towels between the cone and the magnet and it sort of fixed it but now the bass is muffled...I think I'm going to need a new speaker. Anyone know exactly what might be wrong?

Oh and a bit of a follow up question. It's an 8 inch speaker...but I looked online for a replacement and all I found were subwoofers. Can I install a woofer in the place of a speaker in the same mount using the same wiring without consequence?

The reason that it makes a popping noise might be because it is either blown, or the reciever can't handle the total amps that the speaker is putting out.

And no, don't to that. What people call that is ghetto rigging. If you do that, then whenever the bass hits, the lights will dim, and it will drain the battery.

i have a spending budget of about 200,
but the less i spend the better.

i would like to have a recomendation on a pair of subwoofers that would have descent bass but that would also sound descent.

thanks

i would have it connected to a 4 channel amp along with 2 front speakers.

(the small 8 inch subs will be used as the rear speakers)

its a small half cab pickup
