Anyone have experience with custom dash speakers? The stock 4x6" dash speaker sucks!

 

You're pretty much stuck with using 4x6 speakers in the dash of a 3rd gen. Under the left speaker there is duct work that is molded to fit around the magnet of the speaker. I wanted to use a set of plate speakers but couldn't since the mid speaker was offset. The only way I would have been able to use it is if I would have taken a heat gun to it and tried to reshape the plastic underneath. Your only option for bigger speakers is to mount them in the door or use a set of kick panel mounted speakers.

 

i used to run infinity reference plates and they sounded pretty damn good....in fact i still have them in the basement . a round speaker always sounds better then an oval one and the plates give you a smaller round speaker and a seperate tweeter. i'm an infinity fanboy but whatever brand you decide to get the style should be a plate.

 

4x6 plates suck in general, but if I HAD to go with them I'd probably go Infinity too.

 

I used to have Infinity reference 4x6's in my old 3rd gen and it sounded pretty good.
