What should I expect if I swap in coaxial speakers into the JBL front door?

[Regius]

I don't want to disrupt the factory system too much or spend too much energy. I have the JBL system and I already did the rear door deadening, and replaced the rear door speakers with a pair of Infinity ref coaxial (the JBL was coaxial to begin with). Now, getting ready to do the front door, but the front have component speakers. Crutchfield recommended the Rockford Fosgate P1 punch (v2), based on what I wanted. They say with the built-in tweeters on these coaxial speakers, I will expect to hear a change of sound staging. For me, a mere change of location of the instruments is fine, there is still a "sound stage" afterall, only different now. What would be the worst that could happen if I may ask? Also, they say if I buy component system, whether or not I care to replace my A pillar tweets/dash corner tweeters, I may need an amp, so the JBL amp is not enough for aftermarket component system?

Not gonna notice much change. If anything, it’ll be worse. Save for a full system upgrade rather than changing individual things hoping for a difference.

Have you tried putting a small piece of electrical tape on the three middle contacts on the removable center speaker?

The outer contacts are the positive and negative to keep the battery in the speaker charged in case you want to use it and it’s not good for the battery to drain and stay discharged for a long time. You don’t want to ruin the speaker just take it out of the sound equation.

It’s reversible. Just remove that little piece of tape.

I prefer the sound system with the center speaker quite.
