Speakers! 06!

[Galaxie]

Hey there! I just ordered a new head unit and now I am going to upgrade speakers.

So I need to switch my 6X8/5X7 fronts to 6.5" speakers for sound. Anyone have any suggestions (fitment).

Thanks!

A lot of places sell adapters that convert 6x8 into other sizes. Here is a set on Crutchfield's website, granted these are for 5 1/4" but I'm sure you can find some others:

Universal 6"x8" to 5-1/4" Bracket Speaker adapter plates at Crutchfield.com

THanks man! I have made the plates, I just need to know if anyone has any good recomendations on the speakers. I didnt know what depth issues I might have.

I have Alpine Type R's in my doors and they fit just fine. They are fairly deep as well.

And I'm dumb. After I made the post I thought that you were asking for speaker reccomendations but it was too late.

Sound good?

Everything went in this weekend! Sounds MUCH MUCH cleaner and the head unit rocks! It has a USB port on it so I can just put my music thumb drive right into my radio.

Now I think I need a small sub. WISH they made a SINGLE 10" box for under my extned cab rear seat.
