5x7 Speakers Instead Of 6x9

[Alex]

since 6x9s wont fit without raising them, will 5x7 ford/mazda speakers ?????

my mate has 5x7s in his mazda and they sound quite good

I have infinity's in mine, front and back. They take a while to loosen up but when they do they sound pretty good i have to say and the moveable tweeter works well. you dont have to buy ford/mazda ones just get normal of the shelf ones, they will drop in your back shelf perfectly and then just screw them down in the existing holes.

yer ive got some infinities for the front of mine. i thought rather than put a sub in i could use some 6x9s but they look out of preportion and when they are raised up they look naf, so i thought these would be a better solution as they still give of nearly as much bass as 6x9's

[dom-1984-320i]

They do kick out decent bass for sure, i have been asked on more than one occasion if i have a sub.

so they fit in the rear without spacers and cutting (apart from the shelf itself)

[Alex]

oh and are yours 5x7 or 6x8

[Alex]

where is the best place to get some cheapish ones with speakers grills hardly any come with grills

[dom-1984-320i]

i will double check the size of mine for you in the morning, but yes they dropped right in perfectly.

have a look here for prices etc

cheers

so when you say you have infinitys front and back i presume there just normal 5.25 ones in the front

[dom-1984-320i]

Morning! Right just measured mine to be on the safe side and they are 6.5"

This is the new version, same as mine but different grills.

As i said these just dropped into place no probs, as did the fronts which are 5.25" hope this helps

[dom-1984-320i]

£10 cheeper than anywhere else i have seen them.

i thought the backs were 5x7's thats what im after

i want to know weather they fit without the need to raise them or cut the underneith unlike 6x9s

i know 6.5" ones fit as thats what it currently has

these are the speakers ive seen. there oval like 6x9s so produce more bass than the normal round speaker but smaller than 6x9's so basically i want to know weather these will fit by just altering parcel shelf and not metal underneith or spacers

I think your best bet would be to take a spare shelf with you to halfrauds, and get them to let you try one of their demo 5x7s in the spare shelf, i dont think anyone on here has done it as yet

well i might be the first

ive seen a few sets of 5x7s and there alot thinner than 6x9s so i cannot see why i wont work.

my mate and step dad both have mazdas and they both have 5x7 speakers, there only the standard ones but give off loads of bass like 6x9s

[Alex]

there is also 6x8s which i would be more tempted to get

[Alex]

anyone any ideas ??? i want to try a set but i dont want to buy an expensive set to find they dont fit and i dont want to buy a cheap set incase they do fit as i will want to upgrade them

[secondtimelucky]

You could 'borrow' the set out of the mazda just to try it out? wouldnt cost anything..

[Alex]

could do, there was a mazda speaker in the garage but it got shot out

not sure if mums partner will let me take out the speaker now becuase he is selling the car and my mate would never let me coz he will be lyk what happens if something nacks up

[secondtimelucky]

Do you just need the one to try it out?

[Alex]

yer

[Alex]

i could always get some used ford ones to see how it goes

Have you not got any scrappies near you to plunder?? if not i can sort something out for ya by the end of the week if you want? would probably cost less than a tenner to

[Alex]

never thought of that there is a massive one 5 mins away, it has every car youcan think of

will have a wonder down there over the next few days and see if i can pick anything up

[secondtimelucky]

Best 5x7s i can think of off the top of my head are from old scorpio's or mk4/5 escort rears, easiest to get out too

[Alex]

there is bound to be some of them in there, they litrally have almost every car you can think of including 2 rollsroyces a relint schimiter, triumph 2000, and a few e30s, e36s, e34s an e23 with a glass sunroof, an e21 and a e38 with b28 engine

I got 5x7s in stock, got some lanzar ones at £70 whichcome with grills, they are pretty good and have a good power rating 120w rms if i remember. i fited a set in the doors of a 300zx just last week.
