Im buying my new speakers tomorow and i dont know what speaker size is located in the dash of my 89 iroc and the cars in storage so i can't get at it. I have to buy now becuase im going to get them on staff purchase at futureshop (owed by Best Buy) and i dont know how long ill be there. lol
anyone know what size speaker is in the dash? thanx guys

 

4x6 is the speaker size in the dash. The ones in the rear sail panel are 6x9.

 

See If you can find a plate speaker. It's two round speakers on a plate that fits in the stock location. The advantage is you get a round speaker not an oval one. I know Pioneer used to sell them.

 

that was my next question, whats the disadvantage to oval speakers, and lets say i do get these plate speakers becuase iv seen them too, do they still only count as one channel?

 

yes, each plate speaker is just "one channel" as you put it. The tweeter just happens to be next to the woofer instead of above it. Functionally it's identical. The advantage is that generally, the plate speakers are a higher quality than a normal coax. You will get less bass and midbass response out of a plate because of the smaller woofer, but you generally get better midrange and highs due to the better quality drivers.

 

Guy's would these speakers fit in the 6X9 location? They look a little deep. I have a Vert I assume the sail panels are 6X9 there as well. Thanks Mike

Mike,

Welcome to the board.

Not sure if verts have 6x9 openings or not. BOSS is a pretty low end line of speaker. If it were my money...i'd pass.

try www.woofersetc.com for some speaker choices...look at Pioneer Premier, JL Audio or JBL.


Good luck.

 

they look over priced 4 used check out ebay ikesound.com or something best thing u can do is go to a stereo store and listen to what sounds best urself.... then look online 4 a deall hehe
