1997 Grand Am Head Unit/Speakers

By the way tell me how everything sounds once yu have it installed if you do get speakers.

In most cases it is wise to use the same brand speakers in front and back with the exception of subwoofrs. The tonal quality will be similar. Most speakers do sound different so it is a good idea to demo some different ones with your own music. If you want to get a huge improvement in sound from the front speakers, it is possible to upgrade them to a six and 1/2 inch models. Simply use the plastic bracket that the original factory speakers mount to as a template. Trace the outer pattern of the bracket onto a 1/2 piece of MDF or thick plastic and note the holes for the factory mounting screws. Center the new six and half inch speaker on the board and cut out the appropriate mounting hole. Screw the new plate and speaker assembly back onto the door using the factory screw hols. You will get a far greater sound quality from a larger speaker. The hole job should take less than 2 hours and fits perfectly behind the stock speaker grills. No modifications are required to the door or door trim panel.sparky

You can also buy a speaker plate adaptor that lets you use a different sized speaker for your 6 X 9 opening for example. I know they make one that lets you put 6 1/2 or 5 1/4 speaker in place of your  6 X 9's. If you wanted to buy Boston 5 1/4 or 6 1/2 you could use the adaptor and theyd fit perfectly. I know www.crutchfield.com sells them. Just go to the car audio column ,click on what fits my car and enter your car's information. Then click on car audio and video instalation , go to speaker instalation and click on that ,then scroll down to speaker adaptor brackets and your there.
