Hey guys i just bought an FB a while back and the audio system kinda sucks...
i've looked around and cant find any 4" speakers that would "fit" the car... every website/place i've visited say that it wont fit... any ideas/reccomendations?

 

as long as they aren't super deep, they should fit. I'm debating modifying underneath the carpet kick panel to fit a larger speaker, actually. I'm also working to get slim 6x9 enclosures to put behind the rear carpet piece right in front of the tail lights.

speaking of which - that reminds me. one of my front speakers gave out. gotta see if it just came unplugged.

 

I have alpine S type speakers front and rear. 4" front, 6.5" rear..try ebay........

 

so any 4 inch speakers should fit then?

 

The mounting depth on mine are 1-11/16 in.(4.3 cm)

Any deeper than that I don't think will work.

 

I know you used to be able to get stand off spacers... basically, a ring that was attached then you attach the speaker to it. This would allow you to run deeper speakers.

As for me, I am running some Kenwood Excelons.

 

i forgot which company makes mine, but i will post again later which company and thier size, cause these were poifect... are you considering putting a sub into yer car?

 

I just got some cheap 6x8 or something like that at walmart... They aren't 6x9 but close to it and I just used the spacer and drilled in new holes and mounted them in the back. They seem to work pretty well. I didn't have much of a choice but to find new speakers since all 4 of mine were blown. The front were/are so bad they don't work anymore. I just have not replaced them yet.

 

Memphis Car Audio makes front and rear speakers, I have them in my car, fit and finish is stock appearing too, sounds nice as well

 

Pioneers in mine, all stock locations. I didn't install them myself, came with the car, but looks like a drop in install to me.

 

if an actual person told u they wouldn't fit don't know what he's talking bout. i have pioneers in mine. as lone as they're no more that like 2" deep they should fit with no problems. u just can't use the grills that come with them. at least no on the drivers side unless u relocate the hood release.

 

I also have alpine S type speakers and they are great.

 

Blaupunkt's in mine, stock locations, no issues.

 

Replaced my 4" speakers up front with new ones from Wally mart and they work
great. Actually pretty good fidelity compared to stock. I then added an AUX
cable to the head unit to plug in my IPOD and for longs drives it can't be beat and
sounds great. Its all still a nice stock look to it as well.

I have an SA, things differ a bit for the FBs.

 

wow geez, thanks a lot for all the help! Im looking to have a solid Kenwood system running thru her, i found a touch screen dvd thing kenwood does. im probly not going to do a sub, unless i can find a nice small one to throw in one of the storage compartments... or a custom box for where the spare tire goes XD haha

 

this is what im almost done doin with my subs, i just gotta shave a lil bit more, finish the wire tuck and either cover or paint the box (home made).... it also hits and sounds the best ohh i forgot to mention the box can be lifted so i can get to the spare tire which is a big plus!

 

oohhh, thats nice. mmmm

 

this is the way I did mine

Boston Acoustics in mine ... no problems

 

Kicker in front, Alpine 6x9 in rear, and an 8in sub inside the passenger compartment with an amp running under passenger seat. Sounds friggin' sick.

 

i did a 6 inch bazooka style sub in mine, i actually did a somewhat detailed post about it and the rest of my stereo junk, also. it kicked really hard for our small cars until i blew it listening to dubstep and metal..... now it sounds like an angry bee at certain frequencies. guess i had it adjusted wrong. oh well.

I ran the amp from one of the storage bins, i bolted it to the topside of the storage compartment so i could still put stuff in it.. when i get home i'll find my post and link you to it.

 

Awesome Mr. Miles!
metal is pretty much all i listen to... that and hard rock, its just nice to have some extra "feel" to the music. i've got an old kenwood 150w amp i might just hook some speakers up to and hope that gives enough punch to satisfy...
