i have an 86 iroc and iwas wondering what shape the front speakers were. i already know the backs are ovals but i didnt want to take apart the dash to find out. also if anyone wants to recommend a speaker that would help (i dont want to pay to much)

 

I don't know either, but there's only 11 screws to take out to find out - you justhave to take the dash pad off the top - 4 screws in the defroster vents, and 7 screws up under the edge of the dashpad. I want to say they are 4x6, but better remove those 11 screws to verify. The sail panel speakers are 6x9.

 

Is the search function broken?

 

They are 4x6.

 

Give the guy a break
I'd highly reccomend fitting a round speaker in there because plain and simple they are gonna be more efficient that an oval...any 4x6 sounds awful.Guaranteed.

Go ahead n try it but u are gonna wanna upgrade in 5 mins....so try fitting a 3.5,4,4.5,5,5.25 etc
You'll b glad u did

 

or at least go with 4x6 plate speakers, def better than a 3.5 or 4 inch, the tweeters cover almost all the cone

 

Dash speakers - 4 x 6 (go with a plate speaker if replacing...better sound)

Rear Sail - 6 x 9 (can fit a 6" comp system if you want...also 8" and some 10" subs will fit )

 

The easy part is finding out the size but the hard part is finding out what kind of speaker to put in it (Name brand and type). Im in that stage right now with my Bird and i leaning towards a plate speaker. i think it will give me a better midrange and treble.

Btw... here are some pics of my 4x6s in my Bird they should be the same in your car

hope this helps

 

I have cadence speakers in my dash, they're great, there 3 inch circles. (with tweeter) many of my buddys have pionner speakers they sound great and there resonable. I encourage you to look up cadence speakers, during your search for speakers.

 

i just wanted to say thanks everyone all great info.

 

all 4x6 and 4in speakers sound like crap lol if you dont wanna spend to much money I work for a car audio company that sells stuff online its called sonicelectronix.com we have speakers pretty cheap I would reconmmend making your life easy and just going with a simple 4x6 theres really no point spending a crap load on those

 

look at some kickers or pioneers there decent and decently priced

 

Hey I wanna work there too

Do u get any discounts?

I have a set of Digital Design components that I got in trade (DDC6.5)but Ive been wanting to try the PPI's 356cs......

I saw u recommended them in another post.....hows the sound on those?

 

yea i get some discounts but the prices are pretty low lower than my cost when i used to work for a shop out here the PPI's sound great they are pretty impresive for the price no doubt on that

 

Have u ever heard memphis comps?

Im about to trade my DDC's for a set of memphis'es 15-MCS6

 

seen them in store never actually heard them play, i was to happy with their subs

 

i got interfires in my car and i like them a lot. the audio shop i worked at thats what we carried they are about average price but the sound quality is way above average. i did a lot of installs with jvc decks with the interfire speakers running of just the deck and man it shocked me how good they sounded, it was like i put an amp in there too. they sounded like the systems in the newer cars with factory amps. never had a dissatisfied customer they all loved them. also check out some powerbass speakers, memphis is really good too

 

yea the interfires my old shop used to carry they where a great selling item and for the price they kick *** the Memphis are as well a very great product there subs sound pretty good and there speakers are pretty decent for the price
