I also did the flattened EQwith forscan setting/mod, thus not clipping the lower frequencies to the rear speakers at louder volumes. The Club series speakers are 3ohm and the DB sensitivity is in the 93db range. I don't really care to have a super loud system, but i do like to have a nice full, clean, sound stage. It only needs to be able to drown out my singing and the a-hole driving the distortion mobile with the windows down in 110 degree weather, who you can hear from 5 blocks away.

Can you elaborate on what these Forscan settings do?

TommyBoy2017

From what I comprehend, the rear speakers do not get full range sound, the signal out is clipped so that it does not get lower frequencies. My assumption is that the factor rear door speaker do not produce lower frequencies well. I got the info from posts where people tapping the rear door signal to amplify and drive a subwoofer, but the subwoofer was not producing the low frequencies. Flatten the eq setting in forscan and it resolved this issue. Since I replaced all my speakers and I plan to tap the rear speaker for my sub in the future, I went ahead and change the setting.

When you take them out and compare with the new aftermarkets, you will know you made a good choice before you hear them. LOL No brainer.

Wait Wait Wait. Not all year models have 6x9's. Some 6x8's and some 6.5's. Go the crutchfield.com. Use low impedance, high sensitivity replacements.

How would I know what my truck comes with, before I take off the door panel?

Crutchfield. Put in your make, model, options and it will tell you what fits and where it fits .

DrHorrible

Ok cool that's exactly what I've done and it shows that the speakers you got fit. I'm wondering how I would know the difference between all the various 6x9 speakers, but I have seen some folks on the board do the Infinity Kappas, and you have done the JBL Club. Is there any harm going down to 2ohms? I have heard mixed things that while you have lower impedance, you risk burning out your head unit because it will try and supply more power than it otherwise is designed to with those lower impedance speakers. Why'd you land on 3 ohms?

Thanks for all your help btw.

Evey one has their preference. I've had infinity brand before and found them overly bright on the highs. They were good speaker, just too bright for my ear. JBL has always been a good budget speaer, imo. The club series is made by Harmon. I didn't check my factory speakers, but most are in the 2.8 ohm range. The club series being 3ohm was just coincidence. I was looking for a speaker with a higher db sensitivity, cause I'm not driving them with an amp (yet). Was actually considering the infinity set, until I saw the DB sensitivity of the club series was in the low 90s and decided to go with them.

If you get a 2ohm speaker and your amp is not stable to 2ohm it can cause dammage. Generally it happens when you crank up the voulme and the amp has to do work. I don't normally get my volume past 15 on my sync 3 Even running at 15 is rare, usually at 5-8

Since these are 3ohm and the factories are close to 3ohm, there's no risk with me damaging the head unit, even if I crank it up mildly loud? I don't blast my music but sometimes I have it loud to sing along...
