[cm2005300]

i just got 3 dash speakers how should i hook them up they are 3.5" ba's

[Mr. iNCREDIBLE]

do you have dash speakers now?

if you do.. plug and play...


if not my opinion is to use cross overs off of the door speakers, doors to low and dash to mid/high

jus tmy opinion though

[cm2005300]

good idea no i dont have them already i have to run the wires do you know where i can get some nice corssovers for these? i have three so i know i would run the right to the right door and the left to the left door but that about the center speaker?

You have to be careful!! If I remember right the BA are 2 ohms. You HAVE to use a crossover and not just bass blockers. If you tap off the already leads (parallel) and have a stock system (4 ohms) you will wind up with a 1.3 ohm load. Any stereo shop should have decent crossovers. Also you need to remember the ohms of the speaker will also affect the x-over freq.

ie. 100hz high pass @ 2 ohms you would use a 400micropharad cap and @4ohms you would use a 800m/ph cap.
