Trunk lid speaker size?

[85HOT-T]

What size are the trunk lid speakers. Crutchfield is not giving me anything.

Thanks

 

[FastTurb]

not the best dimensions for good sound

4x10

 

[85HOT-T]

will 6x9's work

Would it be better not to run these?

I want a good sounding stereo system. Ganna have 2 10"s in the trunk and dont want that boom boom boom, and thats all you hear. I want to bring the sound to life.

Any suggestions?

Unfortunately no. Not without some body surgery. I tried last weekend.

I have seen 2-way 4x10's, I may try those and see what they sound like.
If I can find some Pioneers.

yes 6x9 speakers will fit,they make adapters for this...i had them and now i have built a box and included a custom panel for the back that has a proper hole for the 6x9s and a port hole in the center for bass......

They used to sell pioneer 4 way 4x10 Circuit City for around 100$. Thats where I got mine and they sound good!

Where do you get these adapters? What is involved? Is it more of a pain than what its worth? Any cutting?

Thanks,
Matt

Matt, you still live in Ypsi? I live in the Dexter/Chelsea area

just about any audio store can get you the 6x9 --> 4x10 adapters. They are inexpensive and easy to install. The only problem I had when I used them is my 6x9's were tall with the magnets and they hit the trunk lid spring bars :-(

Here is an example of them.........

Sweet! How familiar are you with car audio? It would be sweet to have someone knowlageable helpen me out.

I can hold my own with casual installations but nothing too radical.

I have a Pioneer CD player in my GN with a 12" sub in a sealed box on the floor behind the driver's seat (you can't even tell it is there but you get a nice back massage when you listen to Linkin Park).

I ran 8 gauge wire from the battery to the amp in the trunk and hid all the wiring in black plastic 'loom' I think is what they call it

Patrick,

Remind me to show you my rear speaks tomorrow (6X9 with adapters) that required no cutting. 6X9's offer up a world of improved bass freqencies over the 4X10's.

Finishing it off

With amps, before trunk kit. DAve

 

[tommynos]

[Evaddave 87gn]

Tommy I love the plexiglass with the steched logo. That really sets it off. Sweet looking box!

Evans,

Sorry, didn't see your posting and obviously forgot to mention it. I have an old set of Pioneer 6x9's that match my dash speakers. I know they still work and would love to put them back into service. I just installed a new Pioneer head unit last night and can't wait to get some adapters. I didn't know they existed. Do you have any problems with the speakers getting in the way of the hinge springs (as previously mentioned)? Then I will only have to replace the doors pleakers and 'presto chango' I have fresh concert sound again!

FYI: If you buy 6x9's from crutchfield, they give you FREE 4x10 to 6x9 adapters....so you're all set
