Issit possible to use hifi speakers?

[Marcz]

possible? in addition to the current car speakers?

[Yamrxz]

That is what my friend used in this van. But for car will take up space unless you remove from the wooden box..not sure if the size is the usual car standard like 6.5" etc.

I think he remove the existing speaker and not adding to it.

[Lionheart7004]

depends on your amp. the amp must have the power to drive the speaker.

[Marcz]

what if i don't have an amp? just wanna add on like that..

[Othello]

No prob........ can ....... only issue is whether you know how to do the wiring ....but most hi-fi spkrs place the tweeters + mids separately ......... I once saw it the other way ......... AH PEK at chinatown made his own hi-fi outta single din HU + 6 X 9 spkrs in a customised box !!!

[Marcz]

if i bring to an audio shop to do, issit possible? i don't wanna take it out from the box, most likely i'll place them in the boot and secure abit..

[Othello]

of cos it's possible, but then not many shops may wanna do your biz ...... cos dun earn much as you never buy stuff from them ....... try approaching those smaller ones where you can see it's quiet ........

[Marcz]

but do you know the procedure on how they do it? can DIY? i'll probably see how to do it tomorrow or sunday..

 

all you need to do is connect the wires to the rear speakers right?

[Othello]

yup ....... i am guessing ah ........ becos i dun see any diff ......... cos car or hifi spkrs also got 2 connectors on each spkr.........

[Marcz]

cool, i'll go home and see how thanks!

[Marcz]

allright, i just did it, woah. i tell you the sound is

[Othello]

good for you

 

1. you use 2 spkrs ? brand ?

2. place it in ur boot ? how you secure it ?

[Marcz]

yea, using 2 speakers, from aiwa hifi set.

has tweeters and a sub.

 

the problem now is securing it in the boot, i used some old car rubber mats and placed it there, seems to be stable so far..but i'm not convinced it'll stay that way so i think i'm gonna get some double sided tape to secure it to the mats, should be ok after that

[Decibel]

Interesting...must let me have a look when school starts. Is urs also end of the month?

[Marcz]

yea, 23rd may, mayb when school starts we meet up... but nothing interesting abt my car..haha

[Kianbeng]

You say you don't have amp right? But whats the impedence of your hifi's speakers? 8ohms or 4?

 

I tried putting 8ohms speaker into the car, but in order for the 8ohms speakers to be of the same volume with my other 4 ohms speakers, I had to fade the 4 ohms speakers by alot alot. I end up giving up leh.

 

Got pics to share?

 

[Marcz]

currently, because my speakers are in the boot, i reduced the front speakers and made the rear louder to compensate for "loss" of sound, i don't know much technical terms when it comes to electronics.

 

my volume would be around 25-30 now, up from about 15-20 since i installed the speakers, probabaly need to change my HU..

[Marcz]

ok my hifi speakers are 6 ohms.. just checked
