R32 Standard Front/rear Speaker Size

[aah00n]

I am upgrading the stereo in my R32 and want to know what size speakers I need for both front and rear. Thing is I want to use the same original holes so what size do I need?

6.5" speakers will fit in both.. if you want to use the current holes make sure you measure the mounting depth.

OK thanks man. So if I follow predators schematic and fit a set of 6.5's will the door skin fit back over without much hassle? That's my main concern. Want the krankin stereo without too much hassle.

Would any of you guys suggest just getting the 4x6's for the front or should I look at the 6.5 splits??

I am after a pretty decent sound without having to amp the speakers. I have a 4x50W head unit with 200W Kicker amp driving a sub. Any suggetions?

Get the 6.5"s. It'll be fine. 4x6s will sound like crap.

Thanks man...

I am a definate newbie to this.... what is the difference between a standard set of speakers and the ones with the splits... the dude at JB HIFI said that they were made for running straight off the head unit...

So should i get the splits for my front speakers and not the back... or back and not front.... or both...???

Going to buy my speakers tomorrow so am keen to get some understanding before getting the sales pitch runaround...

splits fr the front and coax (2way) for the rear. use the same brand and look closely at the efficiency of them (measured it dB/m) higher is better.

when y ou do the fronts make the panel to suit the original and sound deaden the doors.

doing both of those will get the most from your new purchase

[aah00n]

how do you sound deaden the doors...?

ok... i understand the difference between split speakers and normal 2 ways now....

so does everyone agree to go splits in the front...??? do they perform a hell of a lot better...??

dont listen to the nazi's if you get good 4x6's they will sound great i had 4x6's which could handle more power then what most wally's 6.5's could so just look around and dont rush your speaker choice:) also remember its all about installation, install your system properly and set your crossover's and frequencies right

a set of these would be ideal, these are what i had

earthquake f4x6

Model: F4x6

300 Watts Max

FR: 75 Hz-22kHz

2 way fiber impregnated polymica cone, super wide edge rubber surround

Sensitivity 89dB

0.75" swivel dome tweeter, neodymium magnet

Polyswitch tweeter protection

Don't kind yourself mate. That would never out perform a 6.5" split. Even Alpines bottom of the range Type S splits will out perform that in the specs, but they will sound 100 times better. Max Power doesnt mean shit, so never look at it.

The type S has a freq response of 35hz to 30KHz and a sensitivity of 90Db/W/m and thats their bottom of the range.

If you take this same question to CAA you will get laughed off the forum my friend just like someone with a riced up Excel would get laughed of SAu for saying they would thrash a turbo skyline.

for your buget (RE pm) the alpine will do. there are better but that will do. forget the 4x6 idea.
