Quick speaker question

[Tippey764]

Let me start off by saying " Yes i used the search button ". Weel yesterday i discoverd my speakers are basically blown in my car and they sound like crap. Well my brother offerd me some free 6.5 inch speakers that apperently are pretty nice. Anyways i have an EX which means i have 6x9's in the back. I was wondering if i need to get a 6.5 inch pod for the rear or if i can make the 6.5 inch speakers fit in the 6x9 inch space.

Quick sum up: Can i fit 6.5 inch speakers in a 6x9 pod

Thanks

Do a junkyard dive for some stocker 6.5" pods. Don't half way it. Take the time to do it right the first time

I would use those 6.5's in the front. Since you have an EX, I think you have 4.5's that are installed in a speaker pod. If you choose to use the 6.5's for the front, hit the junkyards and find the speaker pods for an LX. They are designed to hold a 6.5in speaker with no window interference. The answer to your question about 6.5's fitting in the 6x9 pod is no. Some one correct me if Im wrong. Just buy some new 6x9's for the back.

If you got to, then just run a wooden template to outfit the new speaker size to the old ones.

However, a 6x9 speaker will definitely be a better choice, if you can get your hands on a set.

I think you should just buy 6'9 i bought some 6'8 and retro fit it and it sounds like shit 250watts each speaker im soon gonna get 6'9 when i get rid of my 6'8

i just bought 6x9 pioneer 300 watt for the rear, Amazing and crisp sound.

my problem now is getting my new 5" 1/4 to fit the front. guess i need to make a bracket

If you had covers for them you could do this.


Of course you would need enough MDF or other 3/4 in. material to make two 11-12 in squares with radius corners. You'll need a router and a 1/2 radius bit to put roundovers on the baffle boards and a table saw to cut the boards to size. You would also need some fabric and spray addhessive. So if you have thouse things and maybe some other things to make it easier, then do that..... but if not just go buy new 6x9 speakers. easier.

if you cant find the pod's just fab your own buckets from wood and use the affter market speakers grills to cover the speakers...
