I want to change the rear speakers in my '06 GT. On Crutchfield it shows that the rear speakers are 6x8, but I noticed that 5x7's fit as well. I was wandering what should I install, the 5x7's or 6x8's? Also, what brand speakers are you guys using? Thanks.

There are many threads on this topic, but I went with Infinity Ref 6810cs on closeout, they are fantastic.

Try www.hookedontronics.com and also www.crutchfield.com

Good Luck! Check myphoto album for pics of the tweeters installed.

hog, where did you mount the tweeters. and how crisp are the highs.

If it were me I wouldn't go with a 6x8. Oval cones do not do a speaker justice. Go with a 5.25" or 6.5" set of components and mount the tweeter in the A pillar. Or go with 4" mids and 1" tweets and mount them in the 6x8 location. Or just buy a set of a 6x8 because they fit in the hole....?


Think outside the box here. Sound Quality > Ease of installation. It will take more time and money to do it right, but in the end it will be worth it not putting those 6x8's.

Here it is, and oval speakers reproduce sounds more accurately, this is widely known. Ok maybe not but mine sound f'n great.

That looks very clean, and I am sure they sound great.

I used 4 Infinty Reference 6812's, big improvement and fit right in.
