M490 sound system operation
Does anyone know exactly how the front speaker/door speaker M490 system is piped in these cars? What I mean is :
a) Do the 5 1/4" door speakers, 4" midrange dash speakers, and 3/4" tweeters (dash also) act as one "set" of component speakers driving off a single set of left and right channels? Then, the second set of channels are reserved for the rear storage compartment speakers?
OR.....
b) Do the dash 4" and 3/4" drive off one set of channels, and the door 5 1/4" mid-bass speakers drive off the second set ?
c) In either case - where are the crossovers located ? Are they built into the amp, the speakers, or on a separate circuit mounted somewhere ? Where?
I ask in order to understand if the dash and door speakers can simply be replaced with coaxials, PNP kit added to the rear, and a separate Kenwood KSC-SW1 subwoofer added behind/under/between the seats to improve the bass response.
