I just got some of the black plastic speaker enclosures that mount to the kick panels
and I need speakers for them.. Can anyone tell me what size speakers I should look for? The grills seemed to be shaped like a 6x9, but I think that size would be to large?

Thank you for any info,
Dave

$50 and you're set.

See how I did it here

And you're lucky since the speakers are still available

Thank you for your responses everyone. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Valy, thanks for the info and link.. My question is how do they sound? I know it's pretty subjective, but I wonder if you get anything besides highs from them? Any mid/bass at all from them?

Also, do they have built in crossovers?

Thanks again!

There is a crossover between the twitter and the bigger speaker.
They sound very nice compared to anything else that I've seen. It has a metal membrane so it can push relatively nice bass, but remember that those are not subs.

I'm very impressed with their performance. Keep in mind that those were over $200 few years ago and go for cheap only because model change.

The problem with the car is that the wind will kill any sound system you may have.

I use my radio mainly for bluetooth with my phone and GPS and I can hear the GPS clearly at any speed. I can also hear the phone clearly but no one can hear me above 40-50mph.

I'm 100% sure that you won't find anything better than these for the stock grill, regardless of the price.
