front/rear speakers?

[Dro69 11]

i've been looking trying to figure out what size speakers go in the

front/rear so can someone answer my question please.

[Max Power 74]

What kind of car do you have?

[m3rol 10]

I have a 69 coupe, does anyone knows the speaker size? i have no speakers at all, I'm rewinring the entire car and want to start planning the audio in my mustang.

 

I was planning on putting some speakers in the vents under the dash, is it possible? i dont want to cut my doors.

To keep a stock appearance, you've got some options:

 

1. They sell dual-speaker units that mount in the stock AM radio dash location.

2. Add door speakers; the originals were 6"x8" (not 6x9)

3. They sell replacement kick panels (vent panels) with speaker pods molded in.

4. They sell replacement package trays with speaker pods for hardtops.

 

I'm debating between 1 & 3 (or both) for my vert, although I have some OEM red speaker grilles for the doors (I don't want to cut mine either)

 

google "69 Mustang speaker" or search any of the bigger Mustang supplier catalogs and you'll get some ideas.

yeah, i search in a couple of mustang vendors and only found kick panels for 65-68, the fact is that i live in mexico and is a little pricey and complicated to buy those things.

 

I was planning on a custom autosound ( still thinking about it for the bad comments ) or retrosound stereo, and some pioneer or sony speakers

I went with infinity speakers all the way around. 6x9 in the back. 5.25" in the kick panels. 2 3.5" where the original single speaker went under the dash. Pioneer deck. 10" sub. 2 amps.

Dro69,

To answer your original question, the dash speaker was 5x7, doors were 6x8.

Not sure what rear speakers were but you can put in anything that fits in a coupe.

:tongue_smilie: hehe you're welcome man.

 

sorry but as I told before, I'm rewiring my car and was thinking about the sound system and an alarm, then, i saw your thread, maybe we can come around with a couple of ideas for both of us.

 

 

 

sorry, I'm very rusty with my english:tongue:

no problem with your english i can also speak spanish if you want to type in spanish :)

I put speakers in the front vents. Taped over the small vent hole under the fender to keep dirt out of the car and speakers.I will post some pics. in the Gallery of this site.

Kaz's 69 Q code .I left everything but the doors in the vent, replaced the grille/kickpanel and looks original.( someone suggested I put speakers with integral blue light in the vent holes?? )

thnx man, but I prefer to post in english so I can practice. You know, every chance is great to practice or improve my english.

 

today i took apart the complete dash and the old wire harness.. I'm not gonna put it all on place until I finish the rewiring, including speakers and radio, I also removed the lower dash, this way is easier to work.:tongue:

This is a good simple solution, but if you tape off the vent hole under fender you run the risk of water not draining from the cowling and damaging your speakers, or worse water leaking inside car. Best solution going this route is leaving it open and getting marine speakers.
