Jerome...The good attorney is looking for cheap and effective...I have the K525's in my doors, as does Par...They are a 5 1/4" Coax and for what they are supposed to do, they work very, very well...The RT is rather limited in the audio department anyway...With the factory amp, they are only getting about 20 watts RMS anyway...Trust me, they sound night and day over stock...
Mike...I have the Kicker 6.5" woofer in the console of my RT...No one made subs like Kicker, until they went to the square subs a couple of years ago...The K525's are designed for mid-range and highs, as it is a coax...
slaughterj...You can see which speakers are doing what easy...just remove the stocker 5 1/4's real quick, there's only three philips screws, if I remember correctly, you don't have to remove the door panel...The tweets will still work with the 5 1/4's removed...then turn it up and see if you get the same "noise"...Be careful not to "overdrive" these, they aren't that loud to begin with...I doubt this noise is coming from the tweets, as they have passive crossovers on them from the factory to block the non-tweet frequencies...Money says the "noise" is coming from the paper MiniVan stocker 5 1/4's...You will have to remove the door panel if your tweets are blown...
The K525's are not "top of the line"...MB Quart is...But they smoke the stock speakers and fit perfect in the stock holes, with the stock speaker grill's...I could not find an MB Quart that fit the stock location perfectly, without cutting, and I wanted a coax for a additional tweeter per side, thus added "highs"...The K525's are an direct replacement, and rock the fuck out just fine...You should here my set!
Hey, I am not knocking Boston Acoustic...just dunno if they will slip right in the doors...When I replaced mine, I took a stocker out and to the audio shop to find the perfect fit...
Nope...Just swap them out...Did you put a passive low pass crossover on the sub, fill the sub box with poly fill??? Our little subs totally suck mainly because they are running full range...
You could also throw some caps (bass blockers) on the doors, to prevent frequencies lower than, say 150Hz - 200Hz from getting through to the Kickers...
Does RF make a decent coax that would fit??? Since you already have an RF sub???
Just print this thread and take it to a decent audio shop, let them install the door speakers...This stuff is cheap and effective...they will know precisely what we all have discussed here...Won't cost you much at all to have them install the passive crossovers real quick...They'll probably do it free, if you buy the door speakers and crossovers from them...It will take them less than an hour to install for you...
