Technical Audio Question

[jeffgoetz1]

I want to replace the B&O component speakers in the front and rear doors. My question is, how are the existing speakers crossed over? Is it done inline? Or is there a crossover module built into the factory amplifier. I have the wiring diagram for the amplifier and each speaker is fed separately. (See attached)

Also, I am being told there is a mounting depth issue for the read doors. Nobody at Crutchfield can explain to me why several inexpensive speakers will "fit" but others with the exact same physical characteristics do not. I am looking at using either Morel, AudioFrog, or Focal components.

If anyone has any insight, I would greatly appreciate the help.

You’ll be wasting your money on high end drivers without also adding external processing and amplifiers.

Absolutely agree, I am trying to use the existing wiring and keep from mounting crossovers in the doors. If the crossovers are nothing more than coils and caps inline then I can remove them during installation. If it is part of the factory radio/amplifier, then the ZEN-A2B amplifier replacement interface will pick up the crossover points and I will be stuck with whatever those setting are.

The Zen A2B picks up before the factory processing, which is built in with no external crossovers. You can also use Forscan for a flat signal if you use another interface.

Brilliant! Thank you!!!
