No high frequency audio from door speakers
I have a problem with my stock audio system, I have no high frequency sound coming from the front door speakers, only lows. If I fade or balance to either of the door speakers, audio is almost non-existent.
Does anyone know if the door speakers use separate signal feeds for highs and lows from either the head unit or the amp?

Oh, and thanks for the info.

Wait, i'm confused. The door has a "woofer" in it, the dash has a mid and tweet. you should NOT get highs from the door. replacing the speakers with ones that have a tweeter is *probably* not the right answer. if you are not getting any high-frequency response, it's the dash speakers that are likely your issue...

No, the dash speakers work fine, (if you can call it that...), highs and mids are there. As I have been graciously humbled to learn that the door speakers are nothing more than "subs" that are clipped at around 70hz by the stock amp, even replacing them with a decent set of coaxial speakers will do no good unless I also change out the amp, which would also dictate a new HU as well...
I forgot who said it, but the money is better spent on a new exhaust and enjoy that music.

Correct - it is a slippery slope...all about priorities!
