Dash speakers

[Viper83101]

Need some help. Does anyone know the sizes of the 3 speakers in the dash of an 04 RC? I know the drivers and passengers side speakers are the same size and then the one in the middle is a different size but I just need to know the actual sizes. Looking to upgrade all my speakers to JL Audio.

Lmao hey man, what can I say...I like my comfort along with my speed. It all started when I pulled my door panels off earlier to get my mirrors off since they are getting painted this week and when I laid my eyes on the extremely crappy 6x9 speakers in the door I knew I had to do something before putting them back on.

Well here is another question. I also want to change my sub. Can I just leave the sub amp in place and just unplug the sub from the amp, cap off the wires to the sub, and install a new sub powered from a new remote amp?

Yea you got me on that one...Mine didnt come with the Sub... they took the sub out and left the amp. I dont see why you wouldnt. You could probably hack into the signal, power, & Ground wires from the wiring harness of the stock amp. That way you could save your self the hassle of running extra wires from the front to the back

Well I just want to leave the stock amp in place since the speaker system goes through it and just unplug the stock sub from the amp. Then I want to mount a new sub, a new amp and run the new sub off the new amp hooked up straight to my new head unit.

The speakers are amped through a different amp. Located under the passanger dash side. I was in a similar boat but with the speakers and an android headunit.

To answer your original question Yes it is possible as i had said my truck came without the Sub and the other speaker where still working as normal...due to the other amp powering them.

 

[sinus19]

Heres the wiring diagram for the sub... see, no speakers are going through it. Personally I would hack into the oem amp wires everything is already there (wires). It would save you a huge hassle... unless you dont like hacking and modifing wires... which is understandable.

Question for the audio gurus. I ordered some wiring adapters from Metra for the 6x9 speakers in the doors and they worked perfectly. They clipped right into the factory plugs and had the 2 wires coming off the plug that fit right onto the speakers with fork terminals. My question though is for the dash speakers. Since no one makes a factory adapter like they do for the door Speakers, you have to cut the factory plugs off and crimp your own fork terminals. Well I had cut the plugs off and was trying to figure out which one was positive and negative but what was funny is that I can hold the wires to the speaker just to test it out and no matter which of the 2 wires I hold where on the speaker terminals, the speaker works. Does it not matter about polarity for some odd reason for the dash speakers?

I actually had already bought JL Audio speakers. I bought the 6x9 door Speakers, 2 of the 3.5" dash speakers and I found a replacement 2.75" center speaker. Its just when I cut the factory plugs for the 3 dash speakers, I didnt know if it mattered which wire went where on the speaker or if it even mattered.
