Anybody replaced the stock dash & rear speakers with a size other than 4"? I'm building my new system, and really don't like the choices available in the 4" size. I'm looking to a 5.25". The thought process is a set of components in the front in 5.25", and rear 4" speakers. I have a 4ch amp. The fronts will run off the amp, the rears off the head unit. The sub will be run off the rear amp output bridged.
I think I was able to stuff 5.25s in the back at one point. I don't remember what those were though.....maybe Cerwin-Vegas.....
I use 4" in front and 5,25" at the rear in the stock boxes, then added 6.5" splits to the front doors and 6x9" to the rear boot cover
I think i have 5" replacements in front, they're not that great. Ill measure tomorrow 2 6x9 MTX speakers in the parcel shelf, they kick hard. Never used the stock rear boxes, they were out of action when i got the car and a nice 12" sub in the boot for good measure. Never misses a beat EDIT Nope 4" in front
Shaun on here replaced my speakers for me (TOP man, Shaun!) ...oh, and mines a convertible so slightly different to a coupe... He replace the 3.25" front speakers (coz I didn't want to tamper with the sealed speaker box) but replaced the rear 4" with 5.25" by just removing the original speaker bolts and fixing the new speakers straight on: Original speaker: Remove this plate and fix new bigger speaker straight on: And u might find these instructions useful: http://www.alltrac.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=43488
