speaker sizes and your cb7

[loud92CB7]

Ok ok I haven't read the stickies but I'm gonna try to clear up 2 birds with 1 thread. So about our cb7s well it's simple the front doors of the dx and lx house a 6.5 speaker where the ex models use a 4inch pod. Now if u remove the pod then u get a 6.5 opening. Now if u read u will see alot mentioned about adapters or rings. If u cut or buy rings that r atleast 3/4 inch then u can house about 90% of the 6.5 speakers out on the market. For the rear speaker it's just a general sized hole what matters is your pod. Dx and lx are 6.5 and ex pods are 6x9. U have to watch ur depth here can't really make an adapter to get more room.

Now the part where people wanna argue. Okay u wanna get great sound in your car but not sure where to start. First off update your hu or deck or cd player or processer. After get some quailty 6.5 in the front and work your back. Now brand wise is a horse of a different color. If u r wanting the best sound u will get more from a 6.5 then a 6x9. By that statment the sound is better and the speaker generally will last longer. After getting some better speakers u could add a sub and amp or amp ur speakers. I would suggest a nice ten and about 600rms watts at 2ohms. Why 2ohms u ask well most subs on the market are dvc (dual voice coil). If you choose to amp ur speakers get a good 50-75x4 rms at 4ohms Youll be pretty pleased.

very nice nutshell

Now for sub in our cb I think people sometimes think u have to have pairs. Nope single subs can be as loud or louder then pairs. When it comes to subs it comes down to the box. I personally prefer a ported box. Now sealed boxes aren't useless they have a purpose but I don't like them. Or if u feel smart enough or u have the balls u can do a ib which is infinite baffle or pain in the ass. LOL when done right sound amazing not really loud but very clean.

why doesn't it say

"sent from my i-phone"

HA HA HA...my buddy just bought one and he sends me emails all the time. I thought he was just bragging about using his iphone...HA HA...it's just a automatically puts it there

[sonikaccord]

What about 8's in doors?

[hybrid90accord]

or 7's

[jcoleman_11]

LOL! look at these instigators. You guys are gonna make him change the title to stock speaker sizes, lol.

[loud92CB7]

sure if your gonna do a nice 3 way setup u will have to play with rings and angles to get 8's to fit. honestly besides you 2 who is gonna even think of 8's??? lol assholes!!! haha

the iphone only says that on emails. not forum post.

and yes you can prob get 6x9 in the door but i wouldnt recommend it.

[Adan]

Components and 6x9's should do failry well on the CB..just get some good speakers and not some cheap shit too..lol

personally... i don't care for ported boxes ... but thats more of a preferance issue... it's more about airspace than anything... i have a few other buddies that run cb's also out here, i installed all their cheap wal mart and best buy crap... too much box will fill in the gap between your back seat and your trunk ( making for poor sound inside your car and every last bolt on the outside rattling) the best setup i installed was in my buddies 92... heres what i did...

-- cut out the plastic spot behind the armrest in the back seat
-- found 2 SEALED (sorry guys) boxes and mounted the boxes on either side of the hole **DO NOT COVER THE HOLE YOU JUST MADE**

now in short... it makes for free air movement... and releases all that pressure into the cab of the car increasing the bass you hear to holy shit levels... it also reduces the rattlebox effect GREATLY... it's kind of like making a double box... hard to explain... but if you coop all that bass up in your trunk you could run 150 watts or 2500 watts and it'ss sound like arse
