does 5 1/4" speakers fit in the front and 6 1/2" fit in the back...i already brought these.....
i'm not that familiar with car audio systems...
and how do you take the door trim off..??

 

6 3/4 in the front. 5 1/4 in the back.

If you bought 6 1/2 and are not familiar with car stereo installations, I would return them and get 6 3/4 for installation ease.

For door panel removal, check out the "how to" section. There are two screws to remove and you just pry the panel back. You might have to unplug the electrical stuff too.

Also, don't wire the speakers out of phase (mixing up the positive and negative wires). Otherwise it will sound like crap and girlfriend will dump you.

 

Wow - i didnt know it was that easy... next mod: rewire speakers out of phase.

is it possible to fit the 5 1/4" in the front...??
i got the 6 1/2" for a good price at the wiz...and i can't return them because they are going out of business...and the 5 1/4" are better quality than the 6 1/2"..i want better sound in the front with going with components...i couldn't find the speakers in 6 3/4...

 

Well, of course it's possible to fit the 5 1/4 ones up front. But you will have to fabricate a custom plate to mount them to, which will be a nightmare. Plus the 6 1/2s will not fit in the rear.

Don't buy stuff because it's cheap. Buy stuff that will work for your respective application. You are going to end up spending way more time on that type of install than it is worth because you saved a few bucks. You can pick up great Pioneer 6 3/4 coaxials on ebay for $50 SHIPPED for both the front and rear doors......and they are a plug and play.

 

i checked on crutchfield and it says that the 2k1 max uses 6 1/2" for the front and back..

 

I've got 6.5's on both front and back.

 

Hmmm. This is interesting. I guess you learn something new every day.......

From Crutchfield......

5th Gen Bose
Front: 6 3/4
Rear: 5 1/4

5th Gen Non-Bose
Front: 6 1/2
Rear: 6 1/2

So either way, you have one incorrect set of speakers. If you are non-Bose, your 5 1/4s will not fit. If you are Bose, your front 6 1/2s will need to be modified to fit.

 

can a 5th gen non-Bose pls verify those sizes???

 

I think SoundMike just did.......
