Dash speaker sugestions?

MARBLEYARD · Post by **MARBLEYARD** » Mon Jun 04, 2007 4:01 am

Time to replace my dash speakers... again

. I am asking if anyone has any AFFORDABLE sugestions (from experience). I am a bargain shopper and will probably get them on ebay so I want to make sure they fit, sound good, and can hold up to some power behind them before I commit. Highs are fairly important because I am already running Alpines in my door that cover great mid range.

Check out the JL Audio 4 inch. I think you can get them for $48 on Ebay. They are actually a 4 inch with a tweeter but they ship them with the 4x6 adapter plate.

EDIT: Ok so I was right on the price but you still have to factor in the hefty shipping. Still though, JL is a great product.

Alpine and Infinity also make 4x6" plates. You'll be happy with either of these or the JL's.

Of course, you could make some small modifications and drop a 5-1/4" component set in there.

The 4" sugestion is GREAT !:idea: I saw what you were talking about with the plate mount option included. Do you know if you HAVE TO have a plate mounting kit to install any 4"?

The openings are 4x6", so you could just use a single 4", but a plate would probably work better.

I went ahead and just bought Alpine 4x6 150w peak. I have had great experience with Alpine and got them for $50.00 shipped! Thanks for the help and I'll let you know how they turned out after I install them!

Good deal. I think you'll see a big difference in overall sound volume and quality. Good choice on the Alpines too.

Are you talking about the defrost vents on each side of the dash?

Cool man! Yes, please do let us know how they sound.

The stock speakers in the dash are tweeters I think, mounted on a plate.

ya thats right mine are on a steel plate. the cover is like 6x6 or something and the tweeters are like inch and a half..??? what other speekers are there in the dash?

The alpines (SPS-46C2 ; 4x6) are in, not without a little work though. They are too deep to mount on the factory level holes. You have to use one of the supplied brackets. The only "problem" was the factory grills have tabs that extend down (from the srews you had to remove to lift out the grill) they slightly hit the mounting brackets on the speaker itself. It bent them a little but not enough to make a difference. Overall I love 'em great full sound and as of right now they can handle a beating. I'd recomend them to any CC owner!!!

Have you noticed a difference in sound clarity? Especially in the high range?

MARBLEYARD · Post by **MARBLEYARD** » Tue Jun 12, 2007 3:32 am

I noticed a huge difference, I had eclipse 4x6 originally and I like the alpines better! Like I said earlier, they just sound fuller if you know what I mean by that.
