Adding 5th speaker to Deck

[Sam_Bollea]

I have a spare 6X9 speaker and I was wondering if I can add it to my car stereo deck which already has 4 speakers connected. Will it do any damage if I do this?

you cant. why would you want to anyway?

You could if you hook it up to an amp! But what use would it be! Unless your deck has center channel capability, it will do damage!

Is there a reason why you want to do this? Cause if it's just for extra sound, you're probably doing more damage than good..

well he could put the 6x9 in a box and wire it to an amp..or off headunit sumhow


im still wondering why they stuck coupes with .....4 inch speakers in front and 6.5 in back...would have sounder better with 6.5s in doors and 6x9s in back

It's not worth trying. Your deck only has 4 channels so you would need an amp for your 5th speaker and you would not notice much of a difference. The only time adding speakers might be worth it: If you have an amp powering all your quality aftermarket speakers (so 4 channel, but 5 channel for the last speaker) and installed all the other stuff in your car yourself so you know what you're doing. Otherwise you waste a ton of time and some money on adding something essentially useless. You may want to add a sub though. If you're stock speakers can play highs and mids well enough, you can just have a sub or two provide the lows which will make a pretty decent sound setting for not too high of a price.

Get an amp and u could hook up extra sets of speakers
