Can you guyz tell me what's the real speaker sizes for car? Coz me and me brother are planning to replace our speakers. Thank u in advance and more Power!!!!

the rear deck is 6x9 and the front doors are either 6.5 or 5.25. everyone here will tell you it's 6.5 but i have 5.25 and i tried everything to get the 6.5's to fit and they just wouldn't and the 5.25's fit perfect heh. also, the fronts are component speakers so if you get a speaker with a tweeter in it, it might make the highs a little too sharp up front. just from my own experience so i got a midbass instead and the tweeter in the dash sounds fine with it.

Thanks Dae So we'll get 5.25 not 6.5 coz my car is 97 3.2 and my bro has 96 3.2 and we just wanna make sure.Coz were buying speakers from the ebay.

daemonicus

mmm well dont hate me if they're too small b/c i'm the only one on here who seems to have the 5.25's. but if they fit, then great!

i have 96 2.5tl, for me 6.5 worked for front and 6x9 for rear...through the installation of the front speakers i figured we got 2 puny speakers at the front too...but they pump less than my earphones on my discman can.

daredevil0610

My bro. just called the dealer and they said that the front is 6.5 but thanks anyways guyz!!!!

daemonicus

maaaaaan you guys suck haha. i would have wanted to put 6.5's in. why am i the only one whose car doesn't fit the 6.5's?! ahhh. oh well.



perfect fit

Petie

When you say you have trouble fitting the 6.5, do you mean width-wise or depth-wise?

What's the max depth.... anyone?

daemonicus

well to fit the 5.25's i had to actually take that white bracket off the door and cut the entire back of it off. i think the max depth on that was 2.5".



and as far as fitting, the holes on the bracket didn't line up at all. not even close. but the 5.25's holes were perfectly aligned.

WAT KIND OF SPEAKERS ARE THOSE? LOOKS NICE,SIZE

daemonicus

they're audiobahn AMD50Q midbass driver 5.25's. i got the 6.5 version of it but it was wayyyyyyyyy too deep to mount b/c the magnet was like a small sub heh. i did have the 6.5's though in my old car and i had 150 watts running to them and man did they slam! obviously not like a sub but they were pretty crazy for a 6.5.

i second the 6.5 holes not lining up for mine either! i just said "fuck it" and kept the stock in there. ima get new speakers for my es300 (front idk yet.... rear idk yet... and i already ordered a 10" sub for the stock rear deck fitment. free air sub but i dont care. should be fine and im looking only for little clean bass.... not im in high school bass.... feel me ppl?

My 6.5" fit like a dream. It's boils down to how you cut the frame. Daemonicus' cutting is rather brutal (sorry), as mine literally only has the outer ring. Clean shaven as well. Also, don't worry if the logo for the speakers has to be upside down for the holes to bolt up, the speakers will still play, hehe.

~Cheers~

daemonicus

hah ya i really didn't care how the cutting looked b/c the only way you would see it was if you took the whole bracket assembly out. and i actually had to mount them upside down b/c on the top of the bracket there's a little indent (i guess?) and so i had to cut that b/c it's the only way the terminals would clear the bracket.

Go90go

Yeah, my fronts are also mounted upside down. I don't really mind as the 4cm difference all adds in to a better average difference in the distance of the speakers to your ears. Better soundstaging after all, hehe.
