Has anyone replaced the stock dash tweeters in a 2nd Gen ('95-'05) Blazer with Polk Audio db461 4X6 coaxial speakers? I would like to hear how they fit, how they wired up and most important, how do they sound?

Thanks in advance.

 

There's only one word i can say about how they fit and thats CUSTOM lol, but they sound excellent and I'm sure you'll love them. As for wiring it's pretty simplepos to pos and neg to neg. Just cut off the factory plug and strip the ends of the wires, and use connectors, tape is easy but doesn't last from the heater running around in your dash.

 

When you say "CUSTOM", do you mean there is some modification involved or do they drop in like they were "CUSTOM" made to go in the 4X6 hole? I was concerned about the mounting depth and the speaker magnet hitting the duct work inside.

The reason I ask about the wiring, I've read that if you install new tweeters, depending on which way the tweeters are mounted (facing toward windshield or facing toward driver), you have to change polarity. I guess with the 4X6 coaxial, it really shouldn't have to be reverse polarity. Like you said, positive to positive, negative to negative (red to red, black to black).

Thanks for the reply!

 

I'm certain he meant custom in the sense you'll have to modify some things to get them to fit properly. The only driver's I can imagine that might fit with no modification at all would be something with a small NEO magnet like THESE. Though I would still imagine there would be an issue with depth on them as well.

There's just not a lot of room under there.

 

Yea i do mean the depth the quality of sound the polk audios create is do to the size of the magnet and the separation of the mid and tweet and there is also no need to reverse polarity due to the dash mounts are preaimed to the windshield for better sound travel(best design ever for car stereo)...its hard to explain the mount issue but u will most likely only be able to get one screw in to hold the speaker in place but the cover will go back on flawlessly! Hope you enjoy them.
