Rear speaker change is a vert - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

zuma · 09-13-2009, 12:14 PM

I have a 1990 iroc vert and the rear speakers are in need of replacement. I have a few questions; Do I need to remove the panel to get to the rear of the speaker or is there some trick out there that I'm not seeing? Is it a pain in the butt to remove? Is there a direct replacement out there aftermarket? What size are they? I would like to reuse the orginal covers, and use 6X9, is that possible? Thank you in advance...Mike

hey there i used 6x9 in my 92 and my 84 but iam sure there all the same !
to get the cover off you have too unscrew the hook at the top of the spaerker cover
it a really long star head screw.
then lift up on the panel it should come right off homie ! good luck !
just do eveything in reverse to put it back together !

my 89 formula 350 had one rear speaker blow i replaced both rear with:
Alpine SPR-69C 6"x9" 2-way Car Speakers
they are direct replacements and fit the bracket that are in my sail panels. they sound like typical 6x9 so dont expect a huge improvement. they are better than stock but not astoundingly so.

I thought Verts had 5x7's stock in the rear? Would love to put 6x9's in there, what do we need to mod if anything? How deep can we go?

Verts do not have 6x9 speakers in the rear
