Hi, in about 2 weeks I will own a 2000 Contour. I've been thinking about what I will do with the sound system but I'm a little confused right now. Some web sites say that 6x9 speakers can fit in where the 6x8 factory speakers are in the Contour, while others say that only 6x8's or smaller can fit. I talked to someone at Circuit City and they said they would have to see the car but probably only 6x8's or smaller would fit.
Could someone please explain what the deal is with which speakers will fit?
Also the Circuit City salesperson recommended either Pioneer 6x8's or Polk 5x7's, and said either would sound about the same. Is this true? I'd like to use Polk 6x9's but if they won't fit, I'll either have to go with the Pioneer 6x8's or the Polk 5x7's (or something else, if you could suggest anything).
I'll also being adding a new CD player (not sure what kind yet), and a Kenwood 4 channel 280 watt amp that I already have in my current car. Later a sub and another amp may be added but that would be a ways down the road.
Thanks, any opinions are appreciated.
