Will these fit

[ryanthefizz]

will these 5.25" fit in my front doors? 2001 coupe, and i know I will have to run new wires because monsoon is well... special.

not without modification. The factory speakers are 4x6

[ryanthefizz]

yes i realize that, but i hear modding for 5.25" is very minor... any details on how minor?

[Alero_1986]

talk to Ryan. he had a couple of 5.25 adapters for sale on the forums.

If you have the monsoon the fronts are 5.25 with tweeters in the sail panel. So you might not need a adapter plate or you wont have to make a baffle for it.

[ryanthefizz]

for monsoon equipped alero's does the door panel look different, or do they all look like 4x6s?

[Rexter9x]

All the door panels should look the same, the mounting plate for the speaker is the only difference as far as I know.

[ryanthefizz]

so i looked and i have 4x6's up front.
think these will sound nice?

i have the infinitys. they're nice, but you have to have a place to put the crossovers.

what did you do or what would you suggest?

[Rexter9x]

I would suggest you grab a set of the 5.25 adapters from another alero with a monsoon, of make some mdf baffles for either a 5.25 or 6.5 set of components. Toss the tweeters in the sail panels and your good to go.

i am liking the 6.5 component idea

i've had a bunch of issues with my 6.5s... check depth. cuz its certainly can become a HUGE issue. (mine with adapters, are tight against the window, and still about 1/8" away from the door...which is what tore my first pair)


if your going for 6.5s its better to have someone (or DIY) a set of fiberglass speaker pods to fit over the stock location.

[ryanthefizz]

i was gonna put the 6.5s in the back...
another question, my deck puts out 52 watts RMS and the polk 4x6's im looking at are rated 4-50 (150 peak)... the 52 watts is too much?

[Rexter9x]

Your deck is putting out more like 18watts, not the 52 that they advertise.

[ryanthefizz]

anyone know the specs on the monsoon amps? can i use that to power these component 6.5s?

Just wondering how deep are your mids? How did you mount them? Got pics?

Just wondering because I took my panel off yesterday and was very dissapointed to see what I have to work with. Does any one know (in inches) the biggest baffle we can bolt to door without hitting door panel. :banghead:
