6 speaker system with 4 channel head unit

Hi all,

I would like to replace the factory installed Monsoon head unit on my '04 Santa Fe which has a 6 speaker system. 2 front tweeters, 2 front door woofers and 2 rear woofers.

The new unit I got has four channels, 2 front and 2 rear. Should I connect the 2 tweeters in paralle with the 2 front woofers? Will this blow out the tweeters?

Thanks!

use a multi meter and test the speaker outputs and see what they are reading. more that likely there wired together in parallel. If you get 4 ohms then you can wire them to the deck .

Have you tried the 70-2003 harness from metra? You just wire aftermarket h.u. to it and plug it into factory plug.

Use a crossover to seperate the upper frequencies and lower frequencies from the front channel.  Connect the upper frequencies to the tweeter and the lower frequencies to the woofer.

There are 3 kinds of people in the world, those who can count and those who can't

More than likely the tweeters have a crossover built into them. Wire your deck with the proper harness and you should be ok.

But if there is a factory amp in that car somewhere, it might be a diff story.

whether you use a metra or scosche harness is obsolete,  if the tweeters and the door speakers are 4 ohms in parallel the head unit will still see a 2 ohm load. The deck is not capable of handling a 2 ohm load you'll burn it up.
