Audio Advice / Help Needed: Rear Headliner Speakers

[LITTLEREBEL]

on the subject of the rear headliner speakers, are they wired in series with the rear door speakers? like the front doors are wired with the dash corner, i was curious if i could just buy 2 sets of component speakers for my truck

I run 2 sets of jl audio C2 componets in my doors. In the front I removed the dash speaker and replaced it with the tweeters and in the rear I drilled into the door panel and installed the tweeters.

Howdy!

So, a few months back I replaced the 3 Dash Speakers, 2 Rear Door Speakers, and 2 Rear Headliner / Roof Speaker with Kick CS.

The sound is great, but my 10yr old son made a valid point to me yesterday on the drive home. He kept saying he can't hear me talk, even when I only have the volume @ 8 or 10 (OCD only do Even Numbers ). So, when I got home, I sat in back and played with the radio and volume and settings, and damn...he is right. The Rood/Headliner speaker seem pretty damn loud compared to the doors, even when faded to the front some.

I'm thinking maybe I need to replace them again with something that has a higher ohm, to bring the sound down a little. Is that that the right idea, or am I going about that wrong?

Another thing, it seems the HK Sub has gained more power with my speaker swap. Is it possible that the new speakers are drawing less power and leaving more for the sub? I was told HK was 4ohm, and the Kickers I put in are 4ohm, so I am not sure this is valid (or I could just be crazy and the added bass is from the door speakers).

Anywho, looking to see what you guys might think. I was also considering unplugging the Sub to see if that is it, but I need to research on how to shut that off.

This may be 3 years to late but in case anyone like me who needed the same advice the rear grills just pop off. Slowly pop off each corner with a trim tool. Jl audio C2-350x or JL audio C7-350 with an "Exact Fit Tweeter/Speaker Adapter Spacer Rings For Dodge, & Jeep - SAK077_15-1" modified with a hole saw align perfectly withe rear headliner and dash speakers.

I've since added down4sound 3way components up front and 2way in the rear.

I run an active system. All my speakers are components.

I'm working on going active.
