Replacing the 4 inch speakers?

[jhayes]

My Speakers are old and destroyed in the back of my festy
What brand would be a good buy for those back speakers and would you even mess with the stock sized 4 inch or move up to 6 by 9's?

What did some of you guys do with your system in the back according to the 4inch stock area for speakers?

You can modify bigger 5 1/4's to fit in the stock space.

They sound MUCH better than the junk my car came with.

They lack bass though. I need a sub.

[sasquatch]

pictures please!! how are they for lower frequences?

they sound great but they sound even better if you have a cargo cover... and they go alot lower in range compaired to the 4" ones... with the set up in my car it will shake the rear view mirror and steering wheel and i dont have a sub.... ill grab some pics tomorow morning...

[Slyder]

wow that sounds fantastic!! what brand are they? i was thinking clarion, audiobahn, soundstream. im told they are quite good.

(i apologize for getting slightly off topic)

here are some pics of it... there is 2 6.5" clairon in the factory spot where the 4 inch ones go, 2 6.5" panasonic's in a custom ply wood cargo shelf, 2 6.5" alpine's in the doors and 2 ok (princess auto) 4" ones in the dash in the factory spot. all those are run off the deck and then there is 2 6x9" sony ones in boxes behind the seats running off of a 240 watt princess auto amp i didnt have them in the car when i was taking the pics i forgot to get them out of my friends shop when i left all my int. there when i went racing... anyways here are some pics...

[jhayes]

so what would need to be done for 5 1/4 to fit without changing stock housing?

[sasquatch]

well you cant fit them with out changing the stock housing... you have to cut it up a bit i found that the 5.25 inch ones where to small and there was nothing to hold up one side of the speaker... the 6.5 inch ones had a hole that i put a yap strap through to hold them up, i know it sounds bad but i havnt had any problems with it

[jhayes]

how about the screw holes for the 5 1/4's or the 6.5's. Would the screws be different or what
today I'm going to get speakers from a speaker store today

[sasquatch]

ya the speakers i got have a bunch of holes around the edges for diffrent cars and there mounting spots... i have 2 screws holding up one side of the speaker and a zap strap holding up the other...
