5x7 or 6x8

[cool_guy546]

Hello to all,
I have seen at crutchfield and various stores I have called dealing with the 95 xlt I have about what speaker size goes in the front and rear doors. It looks to me like 5x7 in the front then the back would be able to do 6x8. I am going to attempt to put speakers in myself. I have found instructions with pictures on removing the doors. I don't want to purchase speakers that won't fit. I want something where I can unscrew the speakers in now and put in new ones. Without having to move/cut anything. Now that I come to think of it theres 4 screws holding speakers in. On 5x7's they have those 4 screws. Then on 6x8's they have some extra holes which I am guessing make them fit. I am looking for some advice before jumping into something with no idea of what to do. Thanks a bunch.

I know for fact that a 6x9 won't fit and i'd probally guess that a 6x8 won't fit into the steel frame of the door either but i'm not 100% sure but 6x9's won't.

5x7's fit, 6x8's fit and 6x9's fit with a little inginuity. 6x8's are the stock sized speakers in 1st gen x's, made specifically for Fords. I have 5x7 infinity's, they sound great. 6x8's are great speakers too, but 6x9's are by far the best bang for the buck. Good luck in your search!

do 95-97s have 5x7s all around?

 

[aldive]

yes 5 x 7/6 x 8.

 

[STANN]

so 6x8s in the rear doors...

I have 6x8's in all doors. Its very, very easy to put 6x9's in the rear doors. You just need to watch the tweeter hieght. You need a speaker that the tweet doesn't stick up to far from the top of th woofer. Yeah that and your magnet depth

6x9's in a 2door sport are very easy to install in the back, a little bit of minor trimming and they fit in perfect. I recommend Sony Xplod 6x9 if your gonna do it, do it right.

so wil the sony 6x9 ( SON XSV6932 ) or the Infinity 5 x 7 ( INI 5752CF ) fit my 95 X?

looking into new speakers and want ones that'll go in w/o trimming or much trouble.

If you want a direct swap go wih the 5x7/6x8. If you have some time and want to do the 6x9's they are possible if the speakers magnet and tweeter height isn't too high.

 

[Digger196]

are the ones apove to high or won't fir?

 

[Mbrooks420]

The 5x7's will fit. 6x9s will require modification.
