Hello.

My car has 4 regular speakers and 4 small twitters, a couple on each door. The speakers make a terrible sound and need to be replaced, but I´m thinking about removing the rears speakeers and twitters and just replacing the speakers and twitters of the front doors.

Can that damage the car radio? I mean, the radio is MOSFET 50W x 4 and I´m not sure if rremoving part of the load can damage it.

Any advice?

Thank you,

best regards

 

Noisy speakers could be from bad amplifier. The speakers could be good.

 

Can that damage the car radio?

No.
Solid-state audio amps are perfectly happy with no load connected.

 

Check if rotten surrounds...

 

You can check the voice cone by hand.
Using both hands on opposite sides (left and right) of the cone, press down gently on the cone with both thumbs.
If you can feel the voice coil rubbing on the magnet then the speaker is bad.
You can replace a bad voice cone and that is a different lesson.

Removing speakers would not cause damage, BUT be very careful to avoid letting the wires that connected to the speakers connect to anything else, such as each other or the car body "ground", or any other wires.

In addition, it might be an amplifier issue, as suggested in post #2. BUT if some speakers sound good, probably it is not the amplifiers.

 

Thank you for your answers.

No no, I know they are the speakers because I can see them broken, like the picture

 

When our limited information allows a problem to have different possible causes, it is appropriate to suggest verifying the actual cause. Certainly failed speakers would be a cause, but so would a partly failed amplifier. Thus the suggestion was made.

 

Yes yes, I totally understand. Niw I know I wasn´t totally clear in my first message
