Weak door speakers after installing dash speakers.

[Phxaz123]

I have a Dodge Challenger 2019 SXT.
I put in six after-market speakers. 2 6x9 doors, 6.5 rear, and 2 3.5 speakers in the dash.
Before I installed the dash speakers, my doors were sounding great. Now it seems like all the power is going to the dash speakers. I did lots of research on how the dash and door speakers are somehow connected, and to fix all of this, I would need an AMP or better head unit. But I'm not trying to do that, even though I just might have to. But the question is, if I disconnect one 3.5 speaker, will my door speakers get some power back? I may just disconnect both dash speakers, but idk yet.

What are all the speakers up front? Brand make and model. How is all of it amplified?

Chances are the old speakers had a lower ohm rating than the new ones and the new ones are getting less power. What did you install?

My guess is the dash speakers are more sensitive plus they're getting a boost from being closer. Maybe a cheap L-Pad to dial the dash speakers down.
