best way 2 install splits in an 03 magna awd TJ

ROFL - are you telling or asking ?? :)

I don't see a question mark so think you're telling.

But just in case you're asking, the best way is:
- remove door's interior panel
- unscrew and then unplug speaker from door
- put new speaker in and try and secure with same screws.
- - if it doesn't fit, remove it, make up a spacer/adapter ring and attach that, then attach your speaker.
- VERY carefully check that the window can be wound down past the speaker magnet - you don't want them to hit.
- if everything is good, test your sound system and then reattach door skin.

There's a little more to do with the tweeter and crossover, but I can't think straight about those bits right now.
I'm sure you can find a guide on the forum, and I recommend google for the searching instead of the forum search option.
eg: enter this to google: "site:aussiemagna.com speaker install guide" without the quotes.
If that doesn't find anything useful, replace "guide" with DIY and DYI (in case of typos).

Cheers, Oggy.

ohh shit yeah i was asking lol sorry

ohhh and thanks

The best way to install splits isnt obvious, you will need to learn where you tweeters sound best and how you can angle your mids to get the most out of them.

The basic way to install splits is the same as Oggy has already stated.

Otherwise you can step your game up abit and make a new speaker baffle by tracing the old on onto some 12-18mm MDF and securing it to the door using sikaflex and the factory mounting holes. Then sound deadening is a given aswell as using deadner paired with 3mm MDF to cover the service holes, this in turn creates and enclosure in the door trim which will optimise the performance of a mid bass driver.

Then you have to play with the position of the tweeter, and this can be done by placing the tweeters of different locations in the car (eg: dash, a pillar and sail panel), using blue tact to hold it in place temporarily and then when you have it where you want either screw or fiberglass it into place.

Then you need to play with your xover slopes and tuning on the amp (and or) headunit to get it sounding the way you like.

If you try search -somewhere- i wrote a guide on best way to get new speaker wires into your door but long story short, unbolt the door, and unplug the door harness, and then completely pull the rubber gromet run out and straighten it to run the wires through.. I promise this will be faster than trying to get it through with a coat hanger or something.

Do not do what another member did though and put the door on the ground and scratch it! put it on a tyre or a towel or something.
