Shock tower speaker pods
What size speaker's do the OEM pods use? I've read people using 6.5" in the rear but wasn't sure if they were using these pods, or adapter plates. I just want to know what fits in these pods to keep the car as OEM on the interior as possible.

I believe stock was 4". It was small, that's for sure. I certainly admire the goal of keeping things OEM, but you won't be replacing it with an exact OEM speaker, so I'd go with whatever you want. The benefit of sticking with an OEM size is you won't have to cut the stock mounting plate.

Thanks for that. I'd really like to keep the interior as OEM as possible. Wasn't the 4" speaker for the front(under the dash)? I could be wrong. I've never had speakers in this car :lol:

you can fit 6.5's in the back without the pods.
I got 8 inch woofers in the shock towers and they just fit.The covers fit nicely over them. |
the opening in the rear shock tower is 8" (actually its probably 200mm).
Mazda used a few different speaker setups, usually on an adaptor plate. it seems like 4" rears were the common ones, but the GXL's had a speaker pod thing, with a built in amp so if you have the adaptor, its easy to cut a hole and run whatever you want, as its under the speaker cover. |

I've seen guys just make a wooden plywood template and stick whatever speaker on that and place it in the strut tower. Whatever floats the canoe..! |

Skunky water at that.

Still better than Milwaukee or natural ice

When the bar is set so low even the inadequate can jump it.
Debating the relative merits of Budweiser and Natural Ice is like choosing your favorite form of herpes. |
Agreed , that's why there is Jameson . Or Killians . American standards were never that high

Coors had a better rep before they went national and people could actually taste it.

East Bound And Down...
I have a friend that has an old Firebird restored and it is kinda cool for what it is. I think it's a '78 but not sure. 6.6, black, T-tops, tan interior, gold honeycombs, gold bird on the hood. Looks brand new. |
