I have a 99 with the Bose system. I am ripping everything out. I bought some Quart rce216 comps, they are 6.5 which I thought was the size in the max, but now I look on crutchfield and it says 6 3/4. WTF? am I gonna be in trouble? I dont want to have to start with MDF spacers and the like. Will I be able to drop these into the pods? TIA This is also posted in the audio section.

 

I put 6-1/2" JL Audio's in my door panel's & crutchfield said the same thing 6-3/4". Put I didn't have to modify anything. The 6-1/2" speakers bolted right in. I think they actually fit better then the 6-3/4" speakers Crutchfield suggests. By the way I kept the stock head unit so that when someone looks in the car, my system looks stock. & I placed a EQ in the little pocket just below the factory radio. Works nicely, not hissing or anything like that. If you decide to go that route?

 

Did your 98 have the BLOSE? Thanks brother

 

your fine, 6 3/4" are harder to find i think, 6.5's are easy, go wtih the 6.5 youll find a greater variety...which you already so dont sweat it

 

6.5 and 6 3/4 both fit without any real issues. Mine are 6 3/4s with no problems at all

 

Theres enough room for them to fit with no problem

 

Okay- I was just thinking that there are only 4 screw holes on the plastic pods- so they (6.5) need to match up perfectly. Thanks! :-)
