I'm getting a system put back in my new car. Anyone know the details for a 2001 mustang as far as speaker size (front and back)? I'm looking at the Alpine Type-R's, but not sure what size to get. I think I got 6x9's in my 1995 mustang.

I currently have an Alpine deck, Alpine Amp, and 3 JL Audio subs. I wanna pick up 4 speakers w/ components as well as an additional amp so I can have 1 amp going to the speakers and 1 to the subs.

Anyone know?

speakers are all 6x8s
the ones in door and in the rear are 6x8s stock(5x7s work to, only difference is how the holes line up)

[danzaman]

do you know if the 6x9's will fit? I saw some today that were Alpine Type-R 6x9, I don't think they sell 6x8's...hmmm

when i went to replace my speakers i had some 6x9s lying around and there was no way i could have gotten it to fit, maybe theres more room in ur car for 6x9s but i doubt it(mines a 96)
and i couldnt find that many around me either so i just ended up ordering some

6x8 or 5x7
.


And don't get components for the rear deck just the front -

the doors are 5x7s i think. i know they arnt 6x9s cuz in my friends 00 we bought 6x9s thinking they would fit... i they didnt. it was about a year ago but im prettty sure we bought 5x7 and they fitted.

If it were me, I would purchase a nice component set that consists of a 6.5" midbass, tweeter, & crossover. Take whatever you have in the front, regardless of whether it's 6x8 or 5x7, and put the 6.5" midbass in there. If you're having an installer do it properly, he will know how to do this.

And as SSS said, don't put components in the rear package shelf. Use the factory speakers in the back for fill to start. If you don't like the sound of them, you can always upgrade them after. Quite often the rear factory speakers running on deck power is enough to have proper imaging.

Isn't that right, SSS?

Two tweeters back their is enough for proper imaging ( but do you think he really gets that deep into it?)

LOL! prolly not.

I wanna get the Alpine Type-R's all the way around, possibly Type-S's in the back for fillers - but Alpine doesn't make 6x8s
