Speakers in dash

[72_EB]

I've been following the dash thread with interest, as I am working on mine now.

How do those 6x9s sound in there?

Should I go with a smaller round speaker 5 or 6 round?

I would like to stick with 6x9s because they are everywhere and I have some laying around, but don't want to install if you folks didn't like them afterwards.

Thanks!

i really dont think you can go wrong with 6x9s, they will sound better than any comparable 5" or 6"

I've got the sony xplode 6x9's and I think they are fine. Plenty loud, they can drown out the 351 and road noise, I don't think you could go wrong with them. good luck, lets see some pics when you're done;D

Ive got Sony Xplod 6x9's and Id have to agree with everything yak said. Ive got mine mounted in the rear quarter panels but theyre still able to drown everything out so having them in the dash you should have no problem. Post pics when youre done ;D

I dunno.. I think if you could box (even a small box like the thread where they used PVC pipe and cap for rounds) some 5 1/4 or 6" rounds.. they might sound pretty damn good.

I have this same task on my list too.. and I also want to put speakers in the dash and lose the stock cluster... Have any of you managed to get any type of small enclosure behind those 6x9?

It depends on the quality of the speakers and what kind of amp you have. I've got some MA Audio component 5 1/4's that sound way better than my old xplod 6x9's, they're louder too. The 5's will handle 125 watts RMS while my 6x9's only handled 45 watts. Also if the amp doesn't give off clean power, it doesn't matter how good the speakers are.

I've got my 5 1/4's mounted in the doors for now, but I plan on mounting them in the dash when I get around to the part. I think they'll sound better in there.
