RNS510 speaker upgrade gone wrong
Posted: Mon Jul 13, 2015 5:27 pm
Hi all, looking for advice/information regarding the speaker upgrade i did on saturday.
I have a rns510 factory fitted in my 2009 passat cc gt but chose to upgrade the front woofers + tweeters with a jbl GTO65080 component kit with crossovers, i also bought the adapters to fit the speakers into the doors nice and snug + sound deadened the doors while i was at it.
PROBLEM - it sounds worse
The performance from the tweeters is fine but the woofers in the doors are sounding terrible.
The factory plug which went into the the woofer had 4 wires, i presume 2 main drives & 2 for the factory tweeter so i spliced the 2 that didn't go to the tweeter and put them in the input on the crossover then obviously installed my jbl tweeter and wired that to the tw on the crossover & same with the jbl woofer into wf on the crossover.
Ive read up about speaker monitoring via vcds and other things, i just wanted to see if ive wired it up correctly
Sorry its a tad long winded just wanted to give someone as much information as i possibly can.
If anyone can shed some light it would be much apprectiated or even point me in a direction.
