A lot of the Chrysler products use Infinity speakers are of a different resistance than most of the aftermarket stuff, so I've been told. Smile

so i would have to use infinity brand speakers for the door speakers then or is that all of them but i wouldnt think it would be all of them because ive tested the very front ones and the very back ones they seem to be fine it would just be for the door speakers tho... rite

You've replaced all the speakers except for the door speakers? If the door speakers are still the Infinity type, I think so. Might contact a stereo shop, just to be sure. I know Best Buy does stereo installation. They should be able to tell you. Also, Car Toys, ect.
On the other hand, if the door speakers have been working with the aftermarket stereo, it's gotta be something in the wiring, I would presume.

Could be mistaken, but AFAIK, the Infinity speakers are 4ohm, and most of the aftermarket stuff is 8ohm.

ok well ill give it a try some time tho too thanxs alot and ummm would u know anything bout the frequencey it would have to be cuz i was going to get theses ones for the door hopeing they worked tho too its 30-33,000 Hz idk if that helps tho but if u knew the standered frenquency or if these would work it would help and would it have to be infinity (not that i have nuttin against it) i did have the sony car package but the door speakers didnt work inless we ran it start from the reciver and not through the existing wiring that went through the factory amp

Re: 1996 dodge stratus speaker problem Sign In

Sorry, I wasn't paying close enough attention; Yeah, if you are trying to run them thru the OE amp, that could be the problem due to the different resistance values. I have no knowledge about frequencies, though. (and very little regarding stereos <sigh>) Unsure
