Nevr throw away the factory speakers. You may decide to trade a 350 for a 370. I kept all the factory stuff and now have $2500 dollars worth of equip for the new Z. Soon to be installed.

6 1/2 in the door, what about the dash? is that the same?

bigaudiofanat · 10-06-2009, 02:19 PM

The tweeters in the dash are 1 inch

I'm looking at going w/ Alpine Type S 2 way component in the doors. So should I get the set w/ the tweeters? What kind of mod will I have to do to make the tweeter fit in the dash?

The base ones are at least 2", definitely bigger than 1".

I also think that we might be able to shoehorn a 6x9 in the front door. That black plastic housing that the speaker mounts to looks like it could be adapted to fit them.

DO not worry about rear speakers there is no reason what so ever to put little dinky speakers back there. Save your money and put it towards better fronts. They are a waste in the Z and with them being so small they will start distorting sooner than your fronts. It will sound 10 times better with better fronts and no rears than good rears and fronts. This has been discussed numerous times on other threads. And to the other question YES get the ones with tweeters that are separate.

As I said in another thread

Honestly in top end cars there are no rear speakers because SQ "sound quality" is setup for optimal performance. I own a civic and I have taken the rear speakers out so that way I have no rear fill as they call it. If you listen to it for a few days you will get use to it and it will definitely sound better than 4 channels. Think of it this way artist record there music in 2 channel format so the optimum way to listen to it is threw 2 channels. My setup is going to be my fronts and a rear sub that's all. After thinking about it and listening to it it sounds way better. So in a nut shell do not get rear speakers or worry about it.

Believe me there 1 inch after cutting out them and putting a new 1 inch tweeter in its place there 1 inch. The basket might be slightly bigger.

The tweeters are *not* 1in.

The entire tweeter is 2 3/4" x 2 3/4"

The cone is roughly 2 1/4 in diameter. I have my stock tweeter & my tape measure in front of my as I type this.

When I upgraded, the 1" aftermarket tweeters required a 2 3/4" x 2 3/4" piece of delrin with a 2" hole cutout for the replacements.

that is about what I saw too.

bigaudiofanat · 10-13-2009, 09:13 PM

Ya the ENTIRE tweeter holder but the actual tweeter is only a inch maybe a bit more. I mean I cut the tweeter out and dropped a 1 inch tweeter right in its place. But yes the entire holder is like 2 3/4

bigaudiofanat · 10-15-2009, 07:06 AM

Plus there is no speaker wire there as well. Like I have said do not worry about them.

FYI the Bose has 6x9s in the front with the 2x2 tweeter in the dash. The rears are 3.5 inches with maybe 1.5 inch dept. and maybe 3/4 inch magnet with just barely enough room to fit. I would urge you not to spend money on the rears. Totally not worth. You can't even hear them where they are located.

I replaced my bose 6x9s with Focal Polyglass 165VRS. The Slims aren't needed you have plenty of room with a spacer but that's what they had in stock and they sold them to me at the same price.

So to sum up:

The base stock system has 6.5" 's in the front, with 1" tweeters (2.75 sq outer dim) in the dash, and no rear speakers.

The Bose/NAV has 6x9's in the front, the same 1" tweeters in the dash and 3.5" speakers in the rear.

Is this correct??

edit: ps "the weapon" is right I didn't even realize I had rear speakers in my car until I played with the fader controls lol. When the fader is at center it's almost like there is no sound in the rear because the 3.5's are so overpowered by the front speakers. If you fade back enough to hear the 3.5's the sound quality is poor.
