Hi all,
Sorry if this has been discussed somewhere else but a search didn’t turn up good info. I have a 2018 Elantra Value Edition with the 7” non-nav head unit. I want to replace the speakers with upgrades and have some questions:
- I’ll keep the stock head unit and its integrated amp. What “Max RMS Power” does it put out so I can choose the correct speakers to not under or over power them? I don’t want to get 200W speakers if the head unit only puts out 10W.
- Impedence of 4 seems the most popular. Will this work with the stock head unit?
- For the frequency response, I’d of course like good bass coverage. Is there a low limit that the head unit will output? I’m seeing speakers that go down as low as 18k Hz and as high as 25k Hz; if the head unit can’t get down to much lower than 20 then it seems better to get speakers it can run efficiently.
- I’m planning to replace both speakers in the front doors (bottom and tweeter). Does the head unit really have a crossover, sending highs to the tweeters and mid/low to the bottom? Or are those tweeters just mostly for show, and the bottom speakers running full range? Most component speaker systems come with either an external or integrated crossover; I’ll use it if the head unit is sending the complete signal to the bottom speakers but I’ll not use it if the head unit is actually sending highs to the tweeters.
Thanks!
