Speaker sizes for an 87 iroc??

Hey i was wondering if anyone knew what size speakers would fit in my 87 iroc? i thought it was 6 X 9's in the rear and some smaller size up front, im looking to buy some alpine speakers to match my alpine head unit and sub


Thanks

Stock sizes are 4x6's in the front, 6x9's in the back.

Its hard to get good sound out of the 4x6's. I would invest in a nice set of kick panels to fit some 5.25's or 6.5's componets up front.

6x9's aren't the greatest for sound either. A lot of people make a plate to turn the 6x9 into a 6.5" round componet set.

Or if you just wanna replace the speakers with stock sizes .. go for it!

4" x 6" plate speaker is a nice upgrade for the front also.

Yea, several companies sell a 4x6 plate that includes a 4" round speaker and a small tweeter separately on the plate, like this:

yeap, even tho they already answered the question...

i run 2 way pioneer 4X6" speakers up front and 3 way pioneer 6x9"s in the rear, tehy sound good, but i also run a few subs too.

depends on the quality and volume ur looking for, if decent/good go witth the 4x6, if excellent/perfect go with panels
