View Full Version : Adding speakers

Hi guys, could someone please tell me if I've done the wrong thing, my Landy
has a Eurovox head unit with 4 single cone door speakers and two tweeters
in the front as standard, I've added some extra 3 way speakers (150 Watt) in
the back (boot),and just connected them from the original standard rear
speakers in the door (10-20watt?). I'm worried it might overload the rear
channel. Do I need to add some kind of amp or is this o.k

This is not ok ... you will eventually ruin the head unit because you are
reducing the impedance on the rear channels and it won't be able to handle
the load. You could POSSIBLY use only the 3 ways and disconnect the factory
rears, but find out what impedance the factories are, that will determine
what the head unit can handle.
