I thought it was be optimal angled correctly at the windshield to get the best response. I just need to get some gear together and do it

Center Channel Speaker Spectral Response measurement in JK:
What's the response of that speaker? Also what's the impedance?

I actually haven't been able to find any specs on this speaker. I went to the local Kia dealer and listened to it in the Sedona ceiling behind the sunroof. It sounds very good. This is the same speaker that is being used in the new top of the line BMW Logic 7 System also. The dealership said that it should be a 2-4 ohm channel from the amp, so I should be good either way.

So how are you going to get one? Are you going to order one from the Kia or BMW dealer? I would guess the Kia part is far less expensive. Please post pics along the way or start a build thread so I can watch. Thanks

Yep, I ordered one from the Kia dealership. They actually use 2 versions of this speaker in their upgraded sound system, one in the roof behind the sunroof and two as rear seat area speakers. BMW wont sell theirs unless you have the VIN number from a car equipped with the Logic 7 system. I have a friend who works for a BMW dealership working on getting me one of theirs. Not that I need two, but I wanted to see if there was any difference. I figure I can always sell the extra if I end up with it. I will post up as things progress...

I knew a guy who did two of these type of speakers in his a pillars and it was sooooo clean and smooth. Played down to about 70hz and up to about 15k from what he said I heard rap and dub step and it was clean and loud. I don't remember what he was powering them with though

Did you get the speaker? I am really curious how this works out for you. May want to try something similar.

Also, can you let me know the part number?

Thanks

Hey, sorry. I just saw this. Yes, I have it in. Pretty cool little thing. The magnet structure surrounds the speaker membrane. The part number from Kia is p/n 96360v.
