Side dash speakers
« on: November 15, 2009 - 02:31:15 PM »
Polk audio speakers.  I purchased these to use for side dash speakers.  Never got that far.  $20. 520-444-0547.

Are you sure that these will fit into the front dash?  They seem like a great deal and I am interested, but only if they are guaranteed to fit in place without mods.   Please advise .... thanks ...... CHAPS!

chaps,

   The magnet on those speakers looks way too big. You would need to hack away at the dash frame some to get something that size in there.  It can be done.

That's what I figured.    What is the less disruptive route to replace the original speakers?   Brand and suggested model for the corner dash speakers and the center speaker??

Thanks ..... Gary

Gary, i'm using Infinity Kappa 693.7i as the front center and rear l/r speakers as my car did not come with a 3-speaker dash. The 3 1/2" version in the Kappa lineup should fit without any significant mods.

Here's a link to the listing on Crutchfield's site :thumbsup:

Infinity Kappa 3 1/2"

I dont think they are Infinity, there is writing on the box that says Polk. One whizzer cone is missing some meat too.

Thanks Russ ..... when I am ready to start re-assembling my dash, I will check them out.   That's great that they don't require any triming.   Cheers .... Gary
