I have not tried or heard of that. What is the purpose of that (and I'm assuming you only do that if you do not have rear speakers)...

Hello,

that is quite easy. If you have a CDR 23 or PCM 2 and a sound package the fader fades between dash and door speakers. In general the dash speakers are much too loud if fader setting is 0.

Also if your dash speakers are technically OK – means no deoriatated membrane or something else caused by extreme heat or sun you can improve the sound by using a simple -6 db butterworth crossover with good electronic components. The OEM system just uses a very cheap capacitor. If you use a quality coil and capacitor for mid speaker and tweeter the dash speakers sounds much better.

Regards, Markus
