Interchangeable speakers??

[linkcb7]

For starters. I'm totally on the nuts and bolts side of cars, not the electronics..
My question is, is there any legends or cl ect. that have same size speakers that would even be worth putting in the cb7 vs. buying aftermarket? I have a great local junk yard with lots of these cars in it. having that said, has anyone ever picked speakers out of a junk yard and got a good set?

Thanks.

95% of OEM speakers on older cars are garbage. The ones that had the nice stereos (OEM BOSE / Infinity / etc) typically had amplifiers and special head units which were all part of the system that would be a nightmare to try and configure.

The old GM 6x9s were silly load back in the day, but I don't know how they'd sound these days. The Scion tC OEM base stereo isn't so bad either, but I'd be surprised if you could find a set in a junkyard yet.

That being said, for what you'd spend for a lower end aftermarket speaker, the upgrade in quality would far outweigh any hookup you'd get from using a cheap junkyard speaker.

Your other option would be to scour the yard hoping to find a car that came to the yard with nice aftermarket speakers still installed. I found a set of Infinity Reference 612i speakers in a Nissan Stanza at a yard probably 10 years ago.

You'd be better off buying some speakers off the forums here or ebay. Older stock speakers are trash. Newer model car speakers are pretty good.

Ok thanks for the input. I've always used stock speakers because I don't care much about audio but mine have really started to get bad.

If you were considering anything audio from a junk yard that was OEM it would have to be newer-ish. A lot of OEM speaker's woofers seem to be made it cardboard and they dry and become brittle with time.

As others mentioned, I'd go aftermarket.

Junk yard always equal gold... idk about where u at, but out here the cars had decent speakers, like sony, apline, I even found 6x9 rockford fosgates.

Fyi dx only had front speakers 6.5 in.
Lx came 6.5 front and back
Ex 5.5 front 6x9 in rear

Idk about se or 10th anni cars.

When I had a lx I used ex rear 6x9 pods and Boom 6x9s in the rear.
Now I have a ex so I took out the front 5.5in and put 6.5 in bam. If u had a amp u can set up ur speakers to have decent bass. I don't like a lot of bass. But w/e. I fuckz with Lanzar subs!

Just go to Walmart and walk out with a complete set of Pioneer speakers for less than $100.

Way less hassle and pretty simple to splice and hook up 8 wires.

You can get great deals on ebay or if you are patient, as metioned above, keep checking your local salvage yards. Dont just check Honda's at the salvage yards. A lot of cars use the same size speakers. Ive defiantely found some great deals there.

Most junkyard speakers are usually either gone or totally junked in my opinion. I have found that best buy has some great sounding alpines as I have them in my car. The SE model has 6x9 in the rear and is a easy swap to do.

I have a pair of Rockford Fosgate Prime series speakers from rear deck of my 92 LX CB7 and they are 5.25 inch round and sound great interested? Shipping will cost a good bit but I have no need for them anymore

If you pull from a junkyard stay away from anything that has been left in the rain or the interior looks rough. The humidity will damage the voice coils in almost everything. I wouldn't buy speakers from a junkyard but if you do, I would stay away from anything Honda ( unfortunately) try looking into newer model vehicles like cadillacs (BOSE!!) or maybe some VW/Audis. If not just buy new or go pawn shop like everyone here is saying. You don't need anything high wattage if you are just using the factory or a cheap radio, the lower the power handling the louder they will be, if you go new only pay attention to the rms wattage and get the best you can find--peak wattage doesn't mean jack

honestly, car audio shops have sales ALL the time, and usually have good-enough stuff for stupid prices. I got a Cerwin Vega component set (separate mids and tweeters) for like $25 a couple of years ago.

No buyin sellin or trading in beginer section. Thanks

[marvin75]

just for clarification a 90 lx would have 6.5 front and back speakers?

[crazymikey]

Base model cars have 6.5" speakers all around. You can convert them to 6x9s by changing the speaker boxes on the rear deck from an EX/SE.
