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

If they are the stock enclosures, they fit 4x6. If you want to modify but still keep a rather stock look, a member vendor sells a fiberglass enclosure that mounts in the stock location but will allow for larger, but round, speakers.

Do a search and you'll find a ton. Here's the website: 914 Appearance & Performance

Good luck.

I put some inexpensive 5x7 but had to trim some of the frame of the speaker to get it to fit.

I made a MDF adapter plate, painted it flat black and put some 4 1/2 panasonic 2 ways in. Lots of ways to skin that cat.

The PO put in 5x7's. The holes didn't quite line up, so he used some sheet metal screws and managed to bugger-up the threaded brass inserts. From looking at speaker choices, it really depends on the stamped metal frame of the speaker. The 5x7's with a square'ish type frame will not fit, however the ones with the more rounded frame seem ok.

I used some 4x6 Infinity Kappa plate speakers...seem to do the trick. I also have some of the 6.5" pods I have yet to install...probably because I usually just listen for things that sound wrong with my car, haha.

$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.

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

I know its off topic but I have a pair of these mounted under the front of the seats facing forwards. 8 years and they still sound good.

Also have 4x6's in the kick panels but have ripped out the heater tubes and therefore took out those speakers.

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.

See how I did it Here ... Every easy to find 4x6 speaker will fit with the help of a bit of cardboard.

Yes, it works !

The size is 4"x6".

What's the screw thread size of the brass inserts in the plastic housing?

Thank you for all your help everyone.
