VZ rear door speakers

[HowMat]

G'day audio gurus! I have Kenwood KFCM1634A 3-way speakers in my rear doors currently, and it just isn't right, at loud volumes they don't cope very well, i'm guessing from the smaller woofer and mid speaker, I would maybe suggest 3way speakers for a ute, but not rear doors of a sedan. Any suggestions for any 2 way speakers o"mids" that i could replace them with? cheers!

Why would you suggest them for a ute? I don't think they're made to be used in the front, perfect for the rear. If they don't cope well at higher volumes (distorting I guess) then see if you can turn the gain for the rear down in the headunit or on the amp.

I thought maybe because they're an all in one sort of set up, mid, woofer and tweeter? Just a thought Haven't got them hooked up to an amp but do have the fade set to the front by a few clicks, it does help a little, still might want some decent 2 ways or something, not sure yet

i would just unplug the rear door speakers, and put 6x9s on the parcel shelf, it's how i did my old v6 and it sounded good with splits in the front too. was all running off an alpine amp tho, makes a big difference so might be worth trying one on ur current speakers.

They're being slaughtered by bass. Consider putting a passive lpf on them. Grab yourself a pair of capacitors that will give you a slope from 80 or 100 Hz. A cap in the vicinity of 500uf to 400uf will work. The lower the uf rating the high er the frequency cut.

@ExanVZI'd rather just keep it as is (doors only) but cheers for the in put, might be worth running some amps to them

@Tasmaniak thats what I was trying to say when I first wrote the post but was tired as, hahahha, how do I install the capacitors? do they have to be soldered etc? instead of that i was maybe even just going to get a set of mids 2 ways instead? i dont really need to tweeter in the rears, i have awesome splits in the front

You don't really need aftermarket speakers in the rear anyway Rear passengers will most likely hear the fronts instead of the rears if the fade favours them, that's what I noticed in my car.
