what size speakers?
Hello everyone. my wife says I need to give her ideas on X-mas gifts. so I`m looking at upgrading my radio and speakers. looking at the Pioneer double din AVH-X2500BT DVD receiver. no problem here. but I`m looking at what size speakers the X has in it. I can`t seem to find anything definite on line anywhere. I`m looking for Pioneer exact fit speakers for the doors, don`t want the round speakers that need the spacers. I`ve always had Pioneer systems and love the sound.
So my question is.... what size speakers are in the doors. also I have never really checked, but are there another set in the rear quarters? it looks like there are, but I`ve never checked to see if there are! anyone have any input please! Thanks! |
KICKER DS68 6X8" Car Audio Speakers
These are what I have in mine. Component spekers in the front doors and 2-way in the back. Only the front doors need a 1/4" spacer to get the window to clear the magnet. Hind sight..... the rear speakers are mounted in parallel so you will have to get 2 sets of 2 ohm speakers for the rear (makes 4 ohm load) and one set of 4 ohm speakers for the front. |
So I was looking at crutchfields website and they say the size is 5X7/6X8, for all locations, but the pioneers do not come up as fitting the front only the rear doors and quarter panel. I did forget to mention that I`m thinking about running the rear door speakers (mid range) on an amp. and then a sub in the rear!
What have others done? and thanks for the info cameeks! |

Check your math. I believe that if they are in PARALLEL that you divide it out... two 8 ohm speakers would make a 4 ohm load.

I have 2 and 3 way Coaxial Pioneers in all OEM Places and they sound
like crap. Im glad that I didnt buy them...I would have eaten my shorts. The best you can do is to swap to a 16cm round unit. Real 2way. The hightone unit should be installed on the black mirrow triangles inside, for getting a good stagesound. If you fear this oval/round conversion thing try to get at least a 2way NON-COAXIAL 6x9" set. I had in my Dodge Rams these sets and they sound awesome. Focal Integration iss690 And to use a ton of sounddeadening material in the doors is in any case highly recommend. |
The kicker ks 693 I think they are. They are 3 ways and get loud and clear if u want a quick and easy swap. For true sq a 6.5 and separate tweeter would be the way to go.

Thanks everyone. Another question, does the standard stereo system have a factory amp or is it just wired directly to the speakers? I have the regular am/fm casette and single CD player. When i had my Explorer I wired the speakers directly from the head unit. I think my Explorer had some type of factory amp and i wanted to run the system on dedicated wiring.
|
No factory amp on my limited '02
I don't think any have a factory amp. Just head unit. |
Ya I want to say no amp too.
|
Ok thanks. I wasn't sure either. I think i remember some type of audio module/amp in one of the rear quarters on my 95 Explorer, but it's been so long i am not sure. Thought maybe the X had the same thing.
|
So I need to get qty: 4 of the 8 ohm spec'd speakers?
I have a new headunit, but these 11yr old speakers are utter crap. Not normally a sounds guy, but I at least like to hear my tunes and that is hard to do at the moment and to clarify, a 6x8 is the correct size with spacers? |
Spacers for front only.
If you run all 4 rear speakers then yes to the 4 8ohm speakers. 6x8 will fit with the existing screw in points. |
can someone link some decent (ie: cheaper) speakers for the front, and the rear (assuming I use all 4 back speakers)
I can barely wrap my head around what is the proper range, impedence and whatnot. And I keep reading about tweeters, but don't understand their use |
