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 http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Clarion-SRC579...fc#ht_606wt_872 |

(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! Dave |

Dave 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. |
