New door speakers DUAL DWS654 6 1/2"
Mom (MIL) got me a pair speakers for Christmas to replace my blown stock ones. They are Dual DWS654 4 way 6.5" from Walmart for $29.98. They are intended to replace the stock speakers, not win any competitions.
I don't like to cut the cars wiring harness, so I removed the sockets from the stock speakers and soldered pigtails to them to plug onto the Duals.
The speaker fit was a little tight with the mounting tabs being too far apart, so I had to bend the frame ears a tad and use the smaller diameter, longer screws.
Stock blown speaker (surround, not coil).
Socket removed from stock speaker and soldered to speaker pigtail.
Pigtail assembled on speaker.
Speaker installed.
Sound is really good, better than the stockers have been for the last five years anyway. For stock replacement I think they are good. HU is a Dual from Walmart, 15WX4 and speakers are 40W RMS.
