This young man has provided an excellent video. When changing the 3.5" center speaker in all cars there are a couple of considerations. The first of which is impedance and sensitivity. If you change them, the speaker volume emitted from the center may also change. Sometimes this is good, sometimes it isn't. Also, a tweeter has been added on the nVX speaker, which may also alter the sound stage. Just be aware that you might not want to add a new speaker having a sensitivity of 92 into the center, because it may dominate the soundscape if your side speakers have a sensitivity of 86, particularly if the processing from the head unit cant control for the difference. The other issue is magnet width. Sometimes the new speaker may fit based on height, but the magnet is too wide. As for NVX, they are pretty good replacement speakers. I install them quite often because they are well made relative to other speakers at their price point, and have a basic crossover. Their sensitivity is at a safe spot that tends to play nicely with other speakers. Other more costly speakers like the hertz are excessively loud. For most people I install either this nvx or a JL audio, which costs 100 dollars more. It all depends on the specs of the car. I tend to have several NVX laying around and people can try them at little cost.
Excellent video! I have a 2007 wm statesman where ive had the front stock unit upgraded to android auto. At the moment it appears only the front 2 speakers are in use but it has stock speakers im told i should change? I just want all 5 speakers upgraded to hear sound loud enough without an amp... apparently the stereo is too powerful for the stock speakers? Should i buy your exact speaker set here and replace? I dont need anything too fancy but right now the sound is very bad and i can only hit the volume notch to 15 or 16 before mass distortion occurs? Cheers and thanks for a great insight to this.
hey ive bought 2 of these nvx speakers (im in australia btw) - i have also put in 2 coax pioneer speakers in the front doors and 2 in the rear.... the model of the coax are tsd65f for the front and tsd65c for rear doors. the sound honestly is a bit better but honestly if i push the volume too loud i can hear crackling - do you think this is normal? when i had the android auto replaced within the car, i noticed the guy didn't connect my rear shelf woofers and the amp that the wm statesman comes with, do you know what the reason could be for this? i've been advised that the stock stereo needs to run in the background and he has done a mod to add volume up and down and forward and back for spotify on the android auto.... frankly - i feel something else needs to be modded to get the sound very clear? hopefully when i add the front speaker back in with the nvx is makes things clearer? i just wonder how i get that amp in the boot added to the whole speil of things?
The 2014-2017 Caprice is different unfortunately. Required more work. The front door speakers are all one piece. Plastic housing/bracket and speaker. The speakers cannot be unscrewed.
@@JR-yr8xm They take so long to release these things because they don’t want you to have good stuff all in 1 ;) if you got it working you did a great job!
Excellent! Thank you, that is the answer I was looking for, looks like I will be fabricating a foundation instead of trying to do a "OEM+ integration".
