I have a base model FD.
1. what size is the front door speakers? Rear speakers? I've been hearing inconsistent answers.

2. I'm planning to run the new speakers from the radio (22 rms watts/channel) and i need to know what brands/models have the highest efficiency/sensitivity?

thank you for the reply's. em

 

The speakers are odd, non-standard sizes. The front doors are essentially 6.25" inch (6.3" from the manual) and the rears are 6x8. Pioneer and I think a few others make the 6x8, but I'm not sure who makes the 6.25". I think a lot of people squeeze in shallow 6.5" drivers or just fab a baffle and use 5.25" drivers. One thing of note is the factory system does not send high frequencies to the rear speakers. This helps to preserve frontal imaging.

I will be in the same boat eventually as I plan to upgrade the audio system (after some performance upgrades).

 

How much work is it to squeeze in 6.5" speakers? The mounting depth is 2.25"

Thanks
Jeff

 

I just put some polk 5*7's in the rear and the fit was perfect.

 

I'm sorry, I'm talking about the front ones, thanks though.
