Base Model Setup
i'm just curious what my car has now, so i can shop around and get the right sizes to replace them with. i figured someone could answer rather quickly, instead of takin it apart and findin out myself. it's just a base with no audio options. thanks, guys.

that's cool, but i think u guys misunderstood. i was wonderin what size speakers r in the car from the factory. like there's an 8" sub behind the driver, right? what else is there? looks like a 1" high at the corner of the doors, and mayb a 5 1/2" at the bottom of the doors. the ones behind the head rest r 5 1/2", too? i'm just lookin for the specs so i know what to buy, because i plan on replacin the factory speakers.

the 8 inch sub is correct, the 1 inch tweeter is correct as well.
i'd post pictures of mine...but it's just going to be redone in a few weeks when my car goes into the stereo shop for the winter!!
check the signature for the new good being put in (still deciding if i should put in a 5.1 surround processor...but, i'm leaning towards no. i'm surviving without it!
)

10" stock (very crappy) Bose sub...Base model should have the mounting plate, but no sub. If you want you can purchase a Bose subwoofer cover for about $20.
The factory front speakers are 6.5" Bose, with very shallow mounts. If you want to use anything aftermarket, you will need to use 3/4 to 1" spacers to mount the speaker due to depth requirements. This is not difficult at all and some companies like Scosche and Metra make spacer rings. The stock tweeters are 3/4" (i think, but you can easily fit 1" tweets there with some slight modifications to the pillar bracket.
The rears are 6.5" as well...and there is really no depth limitations there...
I hope this helps...I have some posts here showing the detials of how to make a fiberglass enclosure, and alot of pics of my install.
Good luck.

yeah, i like everything new as well.
i'll just have to post these in my own thread.
also....what are 4-way speakers??? i've heard of 3 way...but those are typically 3 different speakers (the ones i'm getting are 3 way...6.5 inch, 5.75 inch and 1 inch tweeter). i've never heard of 4-way....unless i know them by another name.
the infinity speakers i have claim they are 3-way.....but not "real" 3-way speakers.

4-ways, i believe, have a woofer, a mid, a tweeter, then an ultra-tweeter. i guess it would just give u more of the sound spectrum. who knows though.
