speaker sizes??

SilverSixxer · September 4th, 2008, 07:43 AM

i have a 2000 mustang convertible, v6.. i want to get new speakers for the front doors and the rear.. what size are they all? and whats a good kind? thanks

SWEET2KSTANG · September 4th, 2008, 07:45 AM

5x6's. if you have the mach system, you can not run aftermarket speakers with them. as far as brand, thats a personal preference.

SilverSixxer · September 4th, 2008, 11:08 AM

i dont have the mach... are the 5x6s all around/

bwoody1713 · September 4th, 2008, 12:12 PM

5x7 is the usual size for Fords. Also 6x8 fits. Ive never heard of a 5x6 speaker but mine are 6x8 and that is the perfect fit. As for brand, I'm a fan of Rockford Fosgate personally. And don't forget to upgrade the head unit. The factory one just cant put out enough power to aftermarket speakers, a new head unit will make even factory speakers sound better.

before you buy anything listen to them first.

go to a car audio shop and listen. then buy there or online.

SilverSixxer · September 4th, 2008, 08:27 PM

well yea, i woudnt buy with out listening to them 1st... i would prolly get pioneers anyway.

bwoody1713 · September 5th, 2008, 01:52 AM

Well the best is definitely up to personal preferences. Anyway, if nothing else, get 2 ways speakers. 3 way and 4 way speakers sound awful in my opinion. You can check crutchfield for detailed specs. You can put aftermarket speakers with the factory head unit, but I wouldn't advise it unless you're running an amp to them as well. You can pick up a quality head unit (from Pioneer or the like) for about 100 bucks or so with free install from best buy. Aftermarket units pump out more power, typically 25w per 4 channels so the sound quality is much better. And currently I'm running a dual cd player that i bought at best buy..Of course it was also clearanced so it was like 50 dollars...

wraitherx · September 5th, 2008, 09:31 PM

best buy no longer does free install on h/u's we stopped doing that back in october of last year.

bwoody1713 · September 6th, 2008, 01:19 AM

damn...well i do my own stereo work, so wouldn't know, I remember seeing signs for it all the time.

no they work, i talked to crutchfield and told them what i wanted and they sound good. they sound even better now that i put an aftermarket head unit in.

03stanggg · September 7th, 2008, 07:04 PM

infinity... pioneer... both good... but like they said get a aftermarket head unit it will sound 5x better...

bwoody1713 · September 8th, 2008, 02:22 AM

really i'm a huge fan of alpine...soooo expensive though..but any of their type r stuff sounds amazing

03SuperchargedGT · September 16th, 2008, 06:13 PM

I will agree with bwoody im running all alpine type r equiptment in my convertible and they sound awesome. Ive got type r components in the front and type r co-axial in the rear with two 10" types r's and it sounds awesome. all the speakers are amplified though
