Was The Original Size For The Fron Are Rear Speakers On A 91 Mr2 And Wat The Biggest Size Or A Good Size I Could Get For New Speakers To Installe On My Car

I put 6" in the front with no problems, & modified the rear & put 6x9's in.

[Henry0313]

what did u to do the rear speakers too modify them? and what brand did u get..
how too visionik work ever heard of them

[wags70ss]

Took out the rear boxes & cut the sheet metal out with tin snips so the 6x9's woud fit. I bought a Sony Expod sterio kit with speakers included. I also removed the amps in the rear & wired all 4 tweeters up so I have a total of 8 speakers. Sounds real good!

MR2s are too small to benefit from lots of speakers. I recommend 6.5" in the doors, tweeters mounted in the kick panels, no rear speakers, and subs behind the seats. The cabin design makes more speakers unnecessary.

dam 8 speakers is too much, i just want 2 tweater 4 speakers. right now i have 600 wat sub and a 800 amp. thats why im trying too find out whats the max size i could go on the tweater and speakers without cutting anything out or making anything look ugly..

Henry, 6.5" speakers will install in the doors with spacers and some trimming of the inner door panel. I think 5.25" would fit easier and is worth it unless you listen to really loud music. I've got a 4 channel amp powering the 6.5" front speakers and the rear channels are bridged to an 8" sub behind the passenger seat. It's a decent setup.

I really urge everyone to skip rear speakers in a MR2.

why u urge people not too get rear speakers because it sound the same with them or without them

It usually sounds worse with rear speakers. They are positioned poorly and mess up the sound staging. That's one of the reasons I put my tweeters in my kick panels instead of the stock door location -- getting the speakers as close to equidistant from your ears is ideal.

Cars with back seats are a different story. They benefit from rear speakers.

I'm running a pair of 6.5" Phoenix Gold Ryval and an 8" Rockford Fosgate sub (10" would be good too, 12" is too big in general). They are all powered by one 600w Kenwood amp. It's a really good setup for a MR2.

All woofers are speakers but not all speakers are woofers.

Woofers, subwoofers, and tweeters are types of speakers.

Subs handle really low frequencies, woofers handle midrange, and tweeters handle high frequencies.

[Henry0313]

oo ok so the front and rear speakers are woofers
