 Subject: Speaker Size?
IP: Logged
Message:
Does anyone know the size of the speakers in a 99 CC? I was thinking 6 1/2" in the back and I wasn't sure if it was the same in the front or if it was 5 1/4". Its the factory speakers in there now and that front right one is gone and I personally think the rest sound like crap, so I was wondering if first somebody could tell me the sizes then secondly if anyone could recommend some alternatives. Thanks

Well, on a 2000 CC they are 6 1/2" both front & rear but your not going to get a 6 1/2" into the rears without a bracket/adapter of some kind.
The hole back there is actually something like 7"-7 1/2" and the 6 1/2" speaker will just fall through. (The stock speakers have wing-like extenders thatstick out from the edges of the speakers to reach the nounting holes, my Boston-Acoustics had the holes in the outer ring). When I asked at my local audio shop for an adapter plate, I was told by the only guy available that I would have to get them to make custom MDF adapters (which I could not believe someone hasn't made a replacement adapter already).
If anyone knows if an adapter is already available, please post the brand here.

matt, i don't know for sure but if you go to www.crutchfield.com. on their site there is a feature "What fits my vehicle?". don't take it as gospel but it is usually pretty accurate. it told me i couldn't put 6-3/4" speakers in my fornt doors on my '00 QC -WRONG! they fit no probs.

yeah, the 6-3/4 speakers that crutchfield said would fit in the rear of my quad did fit but after rolling the window down they kinda got destroyed and disconnected.

daddio,
What model speaker? do they sound okay?
I'm getting ready to call crutchfield to have them replace all my speakers. I can't stand not being able to roll the back windows down all the way

fronts- Pioneer 3-way 6-3/4" don't remember the model.
rears - Polk Audio 2-way 6-3/4" db675's
the pioneers sound ok all around. the polk's have more clarity overall though. they are also louder than the pioneers with the same amount of power. i also have a 300w pioneer 4 channel amp and JVC head unit. don't get JVC for a head unit. the cd player is ok but the tuner sucks the big one!
good luck in your quest for sound.
