08 camry Speakers

[branflakes102]

I have an 08 Camry LE and i want to upgrade my system. I'm going to have a 4 channel amp put in with a mono amp for my sub. I have Alpine SPS-609 speakers right now and was going to put them into my rear. But I had a couple of questions.

Would these be a good choice for my front speakers? http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...e-SPR-17C.html or what would you reccomend?

I was also wondering what else i had to buy in order for all 4 of the speakers to fit in my car (because i've heard that all 4 speakers right now are shallow mounts)? Not looking to spend too much. any help would be great! thank you!

If you are upgrading the front, get components rather than coax speakers. 6-1/2 and 6-3/4 are both fine. You'll need some kind of bracket or spacer for the door speakers because there isn't much space inside. You can fabricate the bracket from wood or MDF if you want.

You need to be more specific, as in actual numbers, when you state: "Not looking to spend too much."


Something like this would be decent, but it's only rated for 50W RMS. You could safely put more than that into it, but just make sure you set the gains correctly.

Yeah I've heard that 6 1/2 are better than 6x9. I'm not really good with fabricating and was wondering if they made spacers/brackets for cheap that i could just buy? And do i need the spacer/brackets for the rear speakers?

Looking to spend around $150 for the new speakers and the spacers/brackets

Could you give me the link to the speaker adapters for both the front and rear? And I was wondering if anyone had a DIY to install the front and rear speakers. The rears don't look too difficult to get at but I didn't know how to take off the door panels ro get to the fronts. Much apperciated

Yes, there are guides to remove the door panel. More than one even.

Okay thanks! But won't the speakers rub or hit against the door panel after i put the adapters in?
