How To Put New Speakers In Your Vehicle

By Peter Farmer


If you are planning to replace the cheap car speakers of your car to improve overall sound quality, it is essential to first know the size of the speakers before you can go out and choose possible replacements.

What's promising however, is usually that virtually all car or truck suppliers stick to, relatively, to specific car or truck speaker measurement specifications. Throughout the upgraded community, the exact same measurements will also be provided rendering them pretty basically, drop-in replacements.

However, you first need to look at the basic speaker setup of you car. The most common factory setups have speakers located on either doors plus two more at the back. This means that all speakers deliver the full range of sound from each single speaker.

Another common setup is one where a speaker on the door delivers mid to low end sound frequencies, with the higher frequencies separated on a smaller speaker, or tweeter, usually located at either side of the windshield, or pillars. These setups are commonly referred as two-way setups.

Finally, here we go to speaker shapes and sizes. Full range or 2 way, the larger sized speaker continually hits the sizing requirements. The standard proportions for car speakers and used more than others is the one that features a dimension of six point five inches. Speakers of these sizes are accessible as full-range as well as in a 2 way, 3 way or even 4 way set. The following proportions comes a stride down at five point two five inches. These are actually the most common speakers found in vehicles today. They're very common with component systems, as well.

There are also non-round speakers that are becoming less popular nowadays that are oval in shape. These speakers were famous for a time because they deliver more punch and bass with a relatively small installation footprint. The most common sizes for these are 6 inches by 9 inches, 6 inches by 8 inches, and 5 inches by 7 inches.
