Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- • Will these 8-inch component speakers fit my vehicle's factory speaker openings?
Fitment depends on your vehicle's available mounting depth and speaker cutout dimensions. Measuring the factory locations before installation helps avoid clearance issues and ensures a proper fit.
- • Why do the tweeters sound too bright or sharp after installation?
This usually happens because of tweeter placement, equalizer settings, or the listening position inside the vehicle. Repositioning the tweeters and making small EQ adjustments often creates a smoother, more balanced sound.
- • Do I need an external amplifier to power these speakers?
They can operate with many aftermarket or factory head units, but an external amplifier allows them to reach their full performance potential. Providing clean RMS power improves clarity, dynamics, and overall listening enjoyment.
- • Why is one speaker or tweeter not producing any sound?
A disconnected wire, incorrect crossover connection, or installation mistake is usually the cause of this problem. Verifying all wiring and checking every connection typically restores normal operation.
- • Can I mount the tweeters in different locations inside my vehicle?
Yes, the included flush-mount hardware and brackets allow several installation options depending on your vehicle's interior. Proper tweeter placement improves stereo imaging and creates a more realistic soundstage.
- • What should I do if the tweeters fall out or slide around inside my vehicle's custom dashboard cuts?
When choosing a flush-mount configuration, you must slip the provided threaded flush-mount retention rings over the back of the tweeter pods. Tighten these rings firmly against the hidden back side of your vehicle's dashboard panel to clamp the assembly permanently in place.
- • Can these speakers produce enough midbass without adding a subwoofer?
They deliver strong midbass for most music, especially when installed in properly treated doors with adequate power. However, adding a dedicated subwoofer provides much deeper low-frequency extension for bass-heavy music.
- • Why do my door panels vibrate more after upgrading the speakers?
The increased output can cause factory door panels and trim pieces to resonate more than stock speakers. Applying sound-deadening material and tightening loose components significantly reduces unwanted vibrations.
- • Can I connect the bare tweeters straight to the woofer lines without using the 37-inch extension cables?
No, skipping the provided 37-inch extension wires will completely bypass the integrated high-pass filtration system. Sending full-range low frequencies straight to the delicate 1-inch domes will overheat and instantly blow the voice coils.
- • How can I install the new tweeters neatly behind my vehicle's restricted original factory mirror sail grilles?
You can remove the pre-installed flush-mount housings entirely to slim down the overall profile of the 1-inch silk dome tweeters. Once bare, pop the tweeters straight onto the included flexible stealth brackets to anchor them invisibly into small original equipment openings.

These are some massive speakers. Always used to 6.5s but I’m starting to love how it sounds and my ears are now getting started to get used to them
