And there is some minimum pre-wired for the rear speakers, no need to run speaker's wire all the way to OEM Head Unit.



Is that only true for my04? If not where do I find those wires that are already pre-run?

thanx,

To clarify, the '04 OEM speaker in the door is 16cm, or 6.3 ish inches. It's made by Matsushita, which when translated to english is "sounds like mashed sh!t!" ...

*confirmed*

my OEM crapola paper cone speakers are exactly 6.25" across on the bracket and 5.25" across the cone...

 

i think the "Euro Frame" size you're referring to is often known as a 6.5" Metric fit... and as best as i know, that is what the S does fit... i don't know if you'll have a perfect bolt in or not though, as depth and hole alignment will factor into the question...

the Phoenix Gold Tantrum 600.4 seems to be a commonly approved of solution for an amp for that type of combo. there are other options as well, just make sure that if you're going w/ the e8A, make sure the amp is stable mono to 2 ohms.

 

FYI

My Eclipse 6.5" speakers are reported to be 3" deep. I have a spacer that brings them to the height of the OEM speakers and they just barely fit. The window hit slightly and I had to adjust the depth.
