Help Please! 206 speaker installation...

Hi,

I have a 206 XS 1998 and I want to replace the standard 20W Goodmans front
door speakers with some better ones which I have bought. As the existing
ones are component speakers with a separated tweeter near the wing-mirror
mount, there are four wires instead of two running to the main speaker at
the bottom of the door. These are green, yellow, pink and sandy coloured.

I am replacing with a coaxial speaker and therefore cutting off the use of
the existing tweeter. All I need to know is which two of the four wires are
the ones to use for the -ve and +ve terminals of my new speakers. From what
I can see - the tweeter also has four wires running to it - two of these are
a yellow and sandy coloured wire (matching the two at the bottom of the
door) .

If anyone has knowledge of this please let me know asap.

Cheers!

 

Hi Drob,

You on't need to disconnect the tweeters, they whould be fine running with
the coaxil units, don't forget that tweeters are directional speakers,
therefore if you disconnect the upper factory tweeters you will change the
whole musical characteristics of the car as the higher frequencies will be
pointing at your legs....

Not Good, run the coax's with the tweets trust me I have been a car audio
installer for over 7 years.... )

As for the colors of the wires check your haynes manual for that one

It depends which model you have - do you have the unit with the
multifunction display (with temp. gauge), or the standard tape unit with
integrated display. (Or, if replaced, which was there before.)

As the previous poster suggested, I wouldn't disconnect the tweeters.

Let me know which you have, I have the wiring diagram here.

 

Hi Again,

In short, NO they won't conflict because they are for high frequencies and
high frequencies do not require that much power, unlike their low frequency
counter-parts...

The tweeter (directional remember) provides the high to hi-mid sound bands
and by such the higher vocal and musical definition.. Don't worry about the
Rated power of the speakers, if running from Head unit power you want hi
sensitivity/efficiency speakers as they take less power to sound good.

The lower the sensativity/efficiency the more power needed to drive the
units, most modern speakers fall between 75 and 84 db @ 1w/1m. for head unit
power you want speaker sensitivity to be between 88 and 96 db. These will
rock ! ! ! !

If I could see the car I could do it in 2 mins, but at a guess I would say
yellow is negative, the manual should tell you this?

Can you scan the page and post it?

I take it that the wires are part of a yellow plug ?

Don't worry about it, they are not the best of diagrams for DIY ;o)

I hope it is of some help !
