Title: What type of audio system do our cars have? Post by: mtgtopdeck on September 02, 2011, 01:45:12 AM I don't see any sticky or anything with a list of specifications about our audio systems.
What do I have in my car (speakers+sizes, oem amp)? I have a 05 coupe EX-L w/ navigation Title: Re: What type of audio system do our cars have? Post by: timot_one on September 02, 2011, 09:33:05 AM I'm not sure if the amplifier power is listed anywhere. You just want to know the speaker size? Is there some reason why you want to know this stuff?
Title: Re: What type of audio system do our cars have? Post by: quickkick127 on September 02, 2011, 10:22:33 AM Well I know the doors are 6.5 while the rear decks are 6x9's. Do our cars have oem amps? Even the non-nav models? If so, is that 12rms or 20watts per channel number you gave me about how much power the head unit puts out including the amp?

You just want to know the speaker size? Is there some reason why you want to know this stuff? Well I kind of just want to know the full specs of the whole system so I can be 100% sure about what I need to get to replace and/or add things to it. I've read in a few posts on v6p that people have used 5.5" in front or other sizes. And also seen different size tweeters being talked about. So I'm trying to get some hard facts about our systems. Does anyone feel up to creating a short straight forward list of our eom audio systems? I would really really appreciate it and I know many others will too!

Post by: rich on September 03, 2011, 07:28:35 PM biggest tweeters to fit in factory locations are about 1" diamater. i have alpine type r components all around and i had to cut out the factory trim around the factory tweeter part that pops off the dash. i just used hot glue to hold it in place on the sides and its been fine forever.
if you do something with a big magnet in front doors for speakers you will NEED spacers either 1/2" or 1" spacers depending on magnet depth. i used i think 1". you can fit 5 1/2" or 5 1/4" but you'll have to re use the factory snap in ring and cut out the oem speaker (the blue cone) and figure out a way to mount it in there. or i think Scosche has the oem adapters. i put 6.5" in 6x9 adapter plates with tweeter holes for the rear deck. like tim said, there is no factory amp, even if it says premium audio system (which i have) Title: Re: What type of audio system do our cars have? Post by: timot_one on September 03, 2011, 08:18:23 PM There's not hard set rules that say that all 6.5" speakers will fit in your doors. The reason is because they all have different mounting depths. There are a few ways around this, like Rich mentioned by using spacer rings. I installed some Alpine Type X speakers in another members car and they tweeter depth in the stock location didn't clear, so I had to cut out some of the dash to get them to fit.
