Hey guys, I'm planning on running new rear speakers behind the seats and I was wondering if the speakers have to be a certain size. I was thinking either the infinity 42.5i or the 32.5cf (links below). Both these pairs are pretty cheap and handle a decent amount of power. Lemme know what you guys think!

INFINITY KAPPA 32.5CF

INFINITY KAPPA 42.5i

 

4 inch speakers definitely will fit. 5 1/4" speakers with small/moderate size magnets will fit. very few after market 6 1/2" speakers will fit. the oem front 6 1/2' speakers will fit fine. personally, i prefer 5 1/4" speakers which provide slightly more bass than 4" ones.

 

Check out the link for the 42.5 and take a look at the pic. The magnet is almost the same size as the speaker! I think I better measure out the area behind the rear pannel to see if it will fit.

 

You should talk to the guy that sells the S-pods. They are sweet and the sound is not muffled behind the seats. You can also put component speakers in the S-pods.

I have Boston Acoustic RC420 components in mine. You can also install a fader knob next to your audio control that will adjust the sound from front to back easily.

Here are some pictures.







Hope this gives you a second option.

 

i've got 6.5" in the rears, though i had to put in a spacer.

 

I know that there are tons of threads on this subject, but is there any chance one of you guys could show me some pictures if the setup that yall have. also I was wondering if the wire that is back there is for a speaker.

thanks in advance

 

No wires for speakers....

 

I have a set of Alpine SPX-133a's with no spacers behind the seat

 

Hi Here is a link to the pictures I took when I installed my rear speakers. This is the first one the next in order show the back with the panels off. I ran 16 gage wire on the kpassenger side under the door plate threashold. Note that I have an 03 yours may be differient.
