Does anyone know the exact sizes of a 91 Nissan 240sx side speakers? 4x6/6½/6x9 Planning to buy new speakers but just don’t know the exact size of the stock ones I have. Plus do you guys have any suggestion in what’s a good brand for (side) speakers? Pioneer, Infinity…etc? Thanks ---

Stock speakers are 4x6. You’re better off buying some 6.5s and making a custom plate to fit them. ---

I have a 5.25 inch component kit in both my doors, with a tweeter put in as well. Had to do a bit of custom work, but it works really well. ---

My eclipse speakers R definately the best investment I have made for my sound system. I made the custom mount to fit the 6.5’s up front. Alot better then stock. ---

the key question is not which are the best but is which sound best per setup. deck and 4 I would go with pioners deck amp and 4 I would go with rockford deck 4 and subs i would go with alpine deck amp 4 and subs i would go with JBL. ---

I like infinity myself… they are a bit on the pricey end of speakers tho. but I’ve never had a problem with mine. and even for 6X8 they seem to pound very well with little distortion. aside form that I would go with JL. ---

I was actually thinking of putting the 6.5’s but customizing it would be a problem for myself. Is it hard to actually fit 6.5’s or would my safe bet be to bring it to a professional and spend alot more money? Like what kind of materials do you use to customize it? ---

Piece of acrylic 😃 Although the prev owner already made appropriate mounting hardware, it doesn’t look difficult at all. It’s just a piece of acryllic cut to fit the speaker in it, then cut to fit in the door, and holes for screws to mount the acrylic to the doors. ---

Acrylic, wood, plexi, mdf, fiberglass, carbon fiber (lol)… Come to the niagara meet, I’m sure somebody can show you their setup.
