hi,
i know nothing at all about car audio, nor do i really want a really cool system or anything other than a cd player, im a simple man...
lol

anyways, i dont have speakers up front under the dashpad of my car (i dont know why, someone took them out i guess) so i need to replace them. what size do i need or what is a good replacement speaker to put there?

thanks alot!!

 

seems alot of people, myself included like Infinity Kappa 4x6" plates specifically the 462.5cfp's,
some 3rdgens came with the front speakers in the kick panels...I don't know if you've checked or not

 

take a look at the :hail: memphis car audio:hail: line they are by far the best out there

 

i prefer the kicker 3-way DX46. The speakers under the dash are 4x6's

 

If your just runnin them off hte CD player, Boston Accoustics sound amazing off of head unit power...tehy are a very efficient speaker, and for about $80, alot cheaper than kappas and memphis' (I think)

 

I have a set of polk 4x6's and they go very well with my infiniti kappa 6x9's the polk's were like 60 or so if i remember from circuit city

 

thanks guys, ill look into some of these.
at least now i know the proper size, 4x6.

thanks alot!!

 

If you are willing to modify...you can always buy a piece of sheet metal or aluminum and fit a set of mids and tweets in the dash. I had a welder make me up new brackets and cut holes for a set of 5 1/4 mids and tweets. In the rear I did the same thing but went with larger speakers.

 

what size are in the back?

 

6 inch

 

I've got a set of the alpine 4x6 plates in my dash that I'm pretty happy with. I would say definently get plates, unless you're gonna do something custom to fit a set of components in there. But if you're going to do all that I'd just do kick panels instead of dash speakers. In contrast, my brother just has regular 4x6s in his dash, and I don't like the way they sound at all.

 

thanx man

 

I have a set of Diamond Audio 4" 2-way speakers that come with a 4X6 adapter plate I am selling. They wouldn't fit in my TA because of the well known air vent, but they'll fit in your Camaro with no problem. They are awesome speakers that I am bummed I cannot use. I paid over $150 for the set and am willing to let them go for half of that. PM me if anyone is interested.

 

...

 

does this offe r apllie to just his guy or can i jump on it?!!!!!

 

There are 6x9 inch speakers in the rear.

 

he was refering to his previous post when he said he had adapter plates made to mount 6" speakers instead of 6x9's

 

You are more than welcome to them, but you'll have the same problem I had. Unless you have no problem modifying your air vent on the driver's side.

 

Blast. it wil only work in a camaro? i never new there was a difference. dang it.

 

Ive got some polk 4x6's as well in the front, pretty good and a decent price. NJITIROC: Don't you live in Fair Lawn also? If you want you can listen to my setup to see if its enough for you.

 

Are you using bass blockers with your polks? i'm using the strongest ones. They sound great with my alpine 7892 and i have a sony 760w driving the infiniti kappa 6x9's. The polks are drivin off the head, they match rms.

 

No, I'm not using bass blockers, I just set the crossover on my Alpine 9813 head unit.

 

Nice, would have been handy if that was out a year ago when i got my 7892, i would have gotten the 9813 instead.

 

I have a set of Eclipse 2 way 4x6 in my dash, they sound great!

 

I'm also new to car audio and I don't want to make another thread so I figured I can just ask in here. If you're going to replace the ones under the dash, you need to use an adaptor plate?
