rear speaker upgrade

[marc_gti]

hi

 

i want to change my standard rear speakers to better ones but i have looked around this section and there is little info on what size i can get without cutting the plastic

5x7's? is what i have in the back of mine

[marc_gti]

ok been looking at these http://www.sextonsdirect.co.uk/SPS-571A_al...ay-speaker.html

 

but have noticed that some are measured 5x7 and others say 6x8!! strange

 

will i need an adapter?

5x7s are not that good I would get the speaker adaptor that fit below the shelf support that way you can use normal round 16.5 ones

Mark mate, those speakers in that link are 5x7's but if you look at the specs it says 6x8 adaptor included, Thats why they may be stated as different sizes on different sites

[marc_gti]

will they fit??

i have 5 x7 infinitys and they are not bad

you dont need rear speakers imo,you sit in the front so all you need is a good pair of fronts to do the job,i have a set of infinity 6510 components with the tweeter mounted in the a pillar.sounds good

 

dont get rears,spend twice as much on the fronts!

sorry but I think thats going to far ,I would like to think passengers may want to hear some sort of music as create a better balance in the rear too,its totally different if building a sound off car to an every day escort as then you can be anal over sound quality and locations

they do fit but sometimes you may need to trim a tiny bit of the support and the mounting screw holes hardly ever line up ,but all very simple little things

i did have sony 6.5" in the rear,but to allow more bass through i tried it without them and there was hardly any difference,none if any from my position.each to their own though

That's how I had mine set up when I had my sub in....front speakers and just the rear sub, but I hardly ever take passengers in the back so it was fine for me...

 

At the moment though, I've got upgraded fronts and standard rears because I gave up faffing about with the rears and off-the-shelf adapters that didn't fit
