Speaker Size?

[svttouruofl]

I'm sure that this has been answered before but do 6x9's fit in the factory openings of a CSVT? I have seen some discussion on it and all the answers are kinda so so. I want to know that they will fit before I purchase some.

Factory, no. You have to do some minor cutting around the mounting hole to get them to fit. The OEM speakers are 6x8's.

yea and i cant imagine that it would be hard to cut. the door panels are thin

I know that it wouldn't be hard but I had read on someone's post that you can put 6x9's in by slightly twisting the speaker. Also is there going to actually be that much of a differance between the 6x8's and 6x9's. I was looking at either getting the polk 2 ways or something like that...Any suggestions?

I believe there are WAY more 6x9's out there then 6x8's

Go here for 6x8 or any thing you need for stereo parts.

Hey bud that site isnt that great. I've been in the audio business for quite a while now and those prices are still high. I bought 2 pairs of some brand new pioneers for $55 a year ago. They want $45 a pair for those same speakers.

i put some 6x9 in my front doors today just twisted them a bit and drilled some new hole in the black platic cause the hole they give u dont match up. didnt turn out to bad.:shrug:

Or you can make a template and install 6.5"s. I am running focal 6.5" seperates in mine.

Please avoid twisting at all costs. It can cause the VC to become misaligned and destroy a perfectly good set of speakers. If you don't want to cut, a .75" MDF adaptor will get the job done.

well when i said twisting them i didnt mean actually deforming them. I just meant shimming up one side and have them twisted in the opening
