Cobra4187

I have the mach460 sound system in my cobra. Few months ago i had a Ford Taurus SHO and bought brand new speaker for it. they are soundstream 6.5 and 6x9. i never put them in and sold thatcar so i have them in my room and i really wanna use them. Could these speakres fit in my car with some fab work or something. i know that it calls for 5x7 but i have these and they are some great speakers.

OR should i just go and sell try to sell them and get the 5x7?

the 6.5"s in teh doors shouldnt be too hard probably need a baffle thats atleast 3/4 thick should do that, the rears will be harder will have to be cut out and i dont youll be able to use the stock box and amp rack any longer. Id leave stock rears in place then sell the two pairs you got and get a nice set of 6.5" componets for the front.

yeah but i have two 12" subs that i am going to put in the back so i don't really car for the amp rack and such.

Dremel, you can do it, just need to do a little trimming.

Just put the 6.5's in. Round speakers will sound better then ovals.

Jesse

well if you really want to it shoultn be that hard but i think youd be 100% happier with a set of componets up front and a small 2 channel amp for them.

PReal

AMEN!!!

That is the message I have been preaching for months.

what if i put the 6.5 in the back? and sold the 6x9 and got componets up front.... i really like componets i just have these speakers... can you find componets in 5x7? i all ready have a hella good 4 channel amp that i bought and still brand new in the box.

Jesse

stinger makes a 5X7 adapeter plate to fit a 6.5, the round cone is more stable so you get a better sound than a oval speaker. but yes some companies make 5x7 componets.

I gave the reason behind the stability a couple weeks ago. I'm glad someone new seems to have knowledge also.
