Need New Speakers In the FD
 
so since i had the car about for years ago the back speaker/speakers are blown, i would have to have it on -6 (max) bass so i can listen to music without any horrible noise. Now i am tired of it and would like to get new speakers, whats good to get? something that will fit right in.

i also would like front speakers aswell, so i looking for all 4

The direct replacement sized Boston Acoustics at Crutchfield seem like they would work. That is what I plan on getting. BA usually sound very nice.

just modify the brakets, or make a mdf adapter, then throw in a set of soundstream van gogh, or HERZ
sounds amazing, the stock coffeefilters are horribel

I use stock size Infinity Reference's and love em. If you aren't going crazy with you audio system then just get the most basic aftermarket speaker in the stock size.

I'm going to get some infinity tweeters soon to mold into my door panel and that will really set it off.

FD3S2005 12-10-08 11:41 PM

what are tweeters? also what are the sizes for the rear and front speakers?

DMoneyRX-7 12-11-08 12:52 AM

you could find stock speaker size by a simple search but I'll help you out

Front: 5 1/4
Rear: 6x8 or 5x7 (most speakers that are this size have holes for both 6x8 and 5x7)

These are tweetershttp://akamaipix.crutchfield.com/pro...081021T-f.jpeg

They are for high frequencies and really bring out the detail in your sound system. I'm gonna put these in my door panels eventually.

I dad all Jl adio stuff in my fc and it sounded like a concert hall. It was fantastic, I used to win sound quality comps all the time. Good luck. Compared to what you've been used to you could put any kinda of crap speakers in and you will be happy as a clam.

FD3S2005 12-14-08 10:56 PM

so tweeters are just speakers?

DMoneyRX-7 12-15-08 12:04 AM

ya, 1 inch speakers used for highs

FD3S2005 12-15-08 04:47 PM

1inch speakers?

DMoneyRX-7 12-15-08 05:21 PM

yes. So what I'm saying is....you don't need tweeters. So stop worrying about it. Just get 5 1/4 speakers for the front and 6x8 for the back

I run rainbow components in the front of mine, still have stocks in the rear & a 12" rainbow hammer sub in the boot. had to chop the crossovers a little bit to fit them in the doors but it sounds mint :)

You need to read up if you don't know what tweeters are. Those two tweeters pictured above are each 1 inch across, hence, 1 inch speakers.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1166234894779

if you guys have any ideas? max im looking to spend is 100. my gf wants to buy me speakers and im not looking to blow her money

Seanybaby2 12-19-08 04:04 AM

ive installed multiple sound systems in my life and listened to all types of speakers. In my time i have decided that kicker speakers and subwoofers are of the highest quality, and can also be very very loud if the money is spent. I recommend you look into them for your upgraded sound system, also try buying your system online or from a reliable flee market in order to save money. Places like best buy and circuit city rip you off horribly, nearly doubling the wholesale value in this department.

FD3S2005 12-19-08 11:39 AM

what other sites do you recommend

FD3S2005 12-19-08 12:47 PM

well i just sound the kickers ks for 89.

FD3S2005 12-19-08 01:59 PM

ment to say found

bullitz400 12-19-08 03:16 PM

I've always had good luck with Boston Speakers

Seanybaby2 12-21-08 12:00 AM

surprisingly ebay can be very good and reliable, just make sure you only buy from reputable sellers. Typically auto design dealers will own franchises off ebay and sell you items for surprisingly cheap.
