Re: Speaker Question

6x9's are bad enough, why would you want a 5x7? If you want to venture away from stock sizes, a better direction would be to adapt a round speaker instead of oval shaped speakers. Typically you'll get better sound quality.

Re: Speaker Question

reason why 5x7 is that I have them and don't feel like buyin somethin else when the 5x7 are just sittin around plus with the set up I have now the 5x7 would be an improvement

Re: Speaker Question

Guessing you had a Ford before? Only place I ever saw 5x7's as a stock size (had a Taurus at one point that used em myself). You should be able to use the factory metal mounting bracket to trace a new template to mount the speaker to the car with.
