I know that a good number of speaker questions have already been addressed. But are there any aftermarket front (either 5 1/4 or 6 1/2, component system or not) and rear speakers that will fit a 97 2.2 CL WITHOUT any kind of modification???

i just got 6 1/2 alpine type-r components and they fit perfect.. getting the 6x9 type-r's for the back and then a v-12 amp to push dem bitches.. let you know how the fitment is on the backs.. im installin them this weekend..

the front speakers seem to be pretty flexible with what will fit, I put in boston acoustics 5 1/4's and they fit perfect. The stock speakers are 5 1/4.

guys at stereo shop said they were gonna charge me $55... because of fitment issues.. for speakers and $20/wire for each speaker wire ran to the trunk.. so i said FCK DAT and did the shit myself...no problems at all.. i wanted it done by them so they could take it out when i wanted, but they decided they wanted to screw me..

the size all depends on the manufacturer.. call and ask before you buy.. 6 1/2 from one could be too big and 5 1/4 from another could be too small.. ya dont know until you ask..

Thanks, guys.

capa_22CL, did you have to do any cutting to make the 6 1/2 fit? I may be sounding monotonous...just wanna make sure. Good luck with the installation this weekend. Lemme know how it turns out.

CLUofI, thanks for the info. I used the search function and saw a post that says the stock front speakers for the 2.2 is 6 1/2.

stock fronts are 6 1/2. I have Pioneer 6 1/2's and they fit perfect with no modification needed.

hell no... none at all..woofers fit fine.. and tweeters fit even better.. if you get other brands they sometimes put tweeters and woofers in same speaker and call it a component..watchoself
just got my 6x9's in the mail.. can't wait till the weekend my shit is finally gonna bump again.. sold my 2 10in pioneer impp's and sony xplod amp earlier this year because i got an offer i couldnt refuse..

I just bought Apline Type R 6 1/2's and 6x9's yesterday, i got my subs working and everything now and it sounds awesome.

i bouston accoustic's all around ... with the pro series components up front and the magnet was to big ( hit window) so a spacer had to be added .. no big deal any shop has em and can do it for the cost of a normal install maybe slightly higher

just search e-bay for type-r.. 15" type-r sub for $165 - $400 retail - buy it now.. i heard a 12" before and that shit hit hard with a nice mtx amp..

i have a 2 channel audiobahn 750w amp.. i think we gots a match babay.. i gotta stop spendin all my new money on my car, but it's just too damn hard

By the way the stock size of the front speakers in a 2.2 is 6 1/2 its just some companies make the speaker to deep so they won't fit like rockford fosgate thier 6 1/2's are to deep to fit. I recommend anybody getting components to get the new pioneer component set just cause they are cheap and they sound very good i'm about to sell my pioneer 4 way 6 1/2's to cop me a pair of 6 1/2 components.

Are you kidding? I had to completely fabricate a brand new speaker spacer to fit the type r's their magents were huge. As for the 6x9's they fit in with no prob. But fronts were a pain in the ASS to get it. Take a look at this pic, the spacers are about an inch.

You guys should hear my Alpine 12" dual voice coil Type R hit...

I have a 1000 Watt Xplod amp hooked up only for that sub
