Hello everyone, this is a fairly simple question, but I can assure you that I have not been lazy and just asked you guys, i have searched and searched and cannot find the answers.
Im fairly competant and fitting ICE but i have to replace all the speakers in my sisters mr2 before xmas, and i dont know what size all the speakers are.its not like my golf where you can just whip the door cards of with a butter knife and i dont want to take it apart more than the once (when i fit them.
Its a 7 speaker version, i dont intend to fit an after market amp, or change the head unit, just direct replacements. i believe that the front doors have 5.25 inch speakers in, however im not sure how deep the basket is, and wheter some options would be too big?
i have no clue whatsoever with regards to whats in the back.
i dont mind spending a fair bit on the speakers, 250 quid is kind of my top spend though.
any advice / information would be most welcome. cheers.
one last question, do you think it will improve the sound that much? i thought it would be sufficient, it doesnt need to be overly loud, just crisp and set up well enough to negate the road noise.
thanks people
sorry, just realised this is an american site. where it say 250 quid, please read about $500.
cheers
and where it says golf, read rabbit.
:/
Boston Acoustics, JBL, and Infinity all make nice lower end speakers that should fit in your sisters MR2. There are 6.5" speakers up font I'm pretty sure, but I dont even think there are back speakers. What year is the MR2? I wouldn't replace the rear ones anyways. For a much better sound I would buy a small amp to go with an inexpensive component set up front. Just use a line out convertor on the front speaker outputs coming from the deck, and connect the rcas from the line out convertor to your amp. I dont know if the models are the same in the United Kingdom but this would be a good system (to bad crutchfield dosn't ship world wide...)

thanks.
its a '92 japanese import.
it has seven speakers as standard.
two tweeters, two mids in the doors, two speakers just behind the seats on the wing & one small sub type thing in the rear firewall behind the passenger seat. after '92 they came withone of these on each side.
the car has a built in amp & x overs for the speakers, it is loud enough, i just need it to sound warmer.
does no one else have any advice with regards to this?
