What's the speaker size for stock speakers in a 1997 LX?

Front and rear speaker sizes please

scarlemthug

6.5 in the front and 6 x 9 in the rear im pretty sure. If you want to double check go to www.futureshop.ca or www.crutchfield.com

labatia

yah those are correct

if u get better speakers for the front u'll have to cut away some plastic because some 6.5"s are too big or u can go with 5.25". As for the back any speaker will just drop in.

sjwong

Thanks for the info!


Do some cars have 4.5" in the front?

sjwong

Can you work in 4.5" speakers to fit into the stock front speaker location?

scarlemthug

yeah you just have to make mounting rings, shoudlnt be hard at all.

sjwong

Anyone have instructions on how to make these mounting rings?

scarlemthug

just get a thin piece of material (MDF) and cut out a mouting ring so the speaker will mount to it and so it will screw onto the factory location. Why would you use a 4.5 anyways?

sjwong

It's not 4.5...it's 4" actually..my bad...
it's the Pioneer TS-G1045's

Thanks for your help scarlem..

sjwong, you're gonna want to go with 6.5" component speakers if you can afford it. The bigger the speaker the better the sound will usually be. 5.25" components would be alright as well. But as scarlemthug pointed out, why would you want to get 4" speakers? That's kinda like getting 8" subs, they won't get very loud.

Good luck though whatever route you take

scarlemthug

well 8' subs can do things some 12's cant its all about install. IF I was you SJ I would sell the 4' and get a set of 6.5's man.

sjwong

Haha...thanks for your opinions... I'm just make doing with what i got...let's just put it this way..i didn't pay for them, so no worries.

kk lol

Don't buy 6.5 unless you wanna cut ALOT of plastic. I stuck 6.5 in my doors and the covers barely covered em. I can never take em off or else I have to wrestle the door for days. j/k.


buy good 5.1/4. my opinion. Just tug on the speaker covers on your door, take em off, and take em in to the store where you are planning on buying your speakers. That's what I did but got greedy. 6.5 don't fit so well.

sjwong

HAH...thanks for the advice esp!
