Speakers for a S13

[infamous240sx]

Hey do you guys know what size the front spreakers of a S13 are? I have 2 6 1/2 that i want to put in, do you think it will fit?

[2iv0 sx]

Stock speakers are 4x6

You can buy speaker adapter (cheap) on ebay to fit your 6.5

[Captain_Ron80]

Don't be surprised if you get some shit for not searching... but seeings how the answer is so simple... s13's have 4 x 6 all around.

[axiomatik]

not entirely correct. IIRC, hatches have 4x6 all around, coupes have 4x6 in the front, 6.5 in the rear.

[SidewayZ-s14]

I have 6 X 9 in the front! :)

you can make the brackets out of 1/4 inch mdf or buy some off of ebay..... make sure you buy the wood ones, the metal and plastic ones tend to resonate you'll loose S.Q.

Yup. And as we all know the gutted, caged, straight piped, clutchpack LSD'd s13 is world renowned for it's SQ. :)

I made my 6.5 adapters from plexi, I have several posts on here about it. searchy search

Hey I remember seeing that thread. You wouldn't happen to have a few extra sets would you? :naughty:

[MELLO*SOS]

no I don't but it's cheap to buy the stuff and make em yourself.

[JoeC1982]

you can use cheap kitchen cutting boards too and make them out of that, its better than the abs ones on ebay and if you use mdf make sure to seal or paint them so they don't soak up moisture.

[2iv0 sx]

IIRC the ones are ebay are PVC and a lot stronger than ABS

I remember hearing someone using card board... lol

[onevia92]

i used like a really thin ply wood then i sprayed it with like a spray can so it would hold moistier.

[LA_phantom_240]

Don't use plexi unless its a decent thickness. And FYI those eBay adapters are for 6.75" speakers. Trust me.

[kuruptR]

My rears gutted, i mounted mine with a carbon fiber panel in the holes next to the seat belts. (its usually covered with a old moldy piece of plastic sheet)

[Dutchmalmiss]

Hey what's a good 6.5" speaker? I'm lookin' at some Polks and some Infinity Kappas.

[2iv0 sx]

I'm going with Infinity kappas

Ordering them pretty soon..

[MELLO*SOS]

Kappas are good... But any component system is going to be decent. Check out crutchfield or partsexpress, etc..

[kandyflip445]

I have some older 6.5" Infinity kappa components in the front. Very good speakers.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ i agree......

infinity kappa's are the shiznit.
also if you have an aftermarket head unit i would recomend bypassing the amps theres one on each door.
i got the hook up on kappas.....lol
