This picture shows the mounted template on the rear driver’s door
and the connection for the speakers. I taped over the Ford connector and
spliced in for the woofer and tweeter. #1 (+) and #2 (-) on the Ford
plug. The yellow wires for the rear tweeters go back into the cabin
through the loom/hose that carries the lock and window wires to the door
from the center pillars. It was tricky to get the wire through but with
a little bit of patience it can be accomplished. The plastic cover on
the center pillars is easy to lift and it doesn’t need to be removed,
just pried out a little. The small in-line Infinity crossover was
secured with a wire tie inside the door.
This picture shows both rear tweeters mounted about ear height
pointing back in the pillars. They fill the highs for the back and
create a nice ambient effect for the front reflecting from the back
windows.
The front door mid-woofers were mounted on the plywood plate and
wires were spliced the same way they were done for the rears. The plug
in connector with the red and black wires are for the tweeters, which are
mounted high on the door panels. This way I can remove the door panel
and disconnect the tweeters.
Behind the front door panel there is a space high up to
accommodate the front system crossover. I hot glued it and placed some
clear packaging tape to attach it, if you get a pre-packaged component
system there should be enough space there for most crossovers.
This is how the front door tweeters look like. I placed a 15 ohm
resistor in line to the tweeters to attenuate the highs, tweeters,
relative to the mid-woofer but that is a matter of taste. Some of the
better component systems have low/mid/high connections built in the
crossover that accomplish the same or you may have to experiment.
