I am getting ready to get a new system out in my 2000 tiburon and I am not for sure what size the factory speakers are. I am pretty sure they are 5 1/4 in the front and 6/9 in the back. Is this right? Thanks for all your help. I am at work so i didn't have much time to actually search for the answer very much. thanks for your help.

Dweet, I just noticed what you said here.If you used washers to space the woofers out away from the window, how are you sealing them? You cannot have space/gap between the woofer and the mounting area(baffle).If so, the back wave of the speaker is allowed to mix with the front wave and this will cause phase shifts. The biggest sign of this problem will be a serious lack of bass.Other signs of phase problems will be images that are 'misplace', along the sound stage.

So the 5 1/4 are going to be way to small? because crutchfield says they will fit the 2000 tiburon

Dweet

wait i just looked up the specs on my speaker and i stand corrected....

Dimensions
Mount Depth: 1-7/8"
Diameter: 5-1/4"
Tweeter Diameter: 1"

5.25" should work with some washers on the screws..

i put 6½'s in the front and it took a lil convincing to get the screws in there, but they did go in... (3 out of the 4 for each. i misplaced 2 screws :roll

6 1/2's or 5 1/2's??

MADTIB

The doors are over sized 6.5" AKA....6.75". Some normal 6.5" will fit without modification.

Yes, listen to MADTIB, they are "6.5" in the fronts.

I just talked to a local place that installs stereos and he said he can make the 5.25 work smile.gif so its all good now. thanks alot everyone

MADTIB

Why the hell would you want 5.25"?? They don't (as a rule) re-produce mid bass as well as a 6.5 or 6.75".

I think you should do some research and reconsider the options.
