H3 Front door speakers

[persius1]

One of my stock front door speakers went out so I'm going to upgrade both. Will most after market 6" round speakers work?

Here is the original one :

When I installed them in my friend's '07, I took an airsaw and cut the old speaker out of that bracket.

Then we screwed the new speaker into the newly cut hole. Reinstalled after soldering the wires and its been good ever since.

I could swear we used 6.5" speakers.

I believe it is 6.5" as well.

exactly what caddy strophic said but 6.5" speakers
it would be too annoying to do it with 6"

Thanks! And yes they are 6.5" round.

I was hoping that aftermarket speakers would mount in without using that bracket from the original.

You can get adapters if you don't want to go to the trouble of gutting the old speaker, but in my opinion it's not worth the cost. I'm pretty sure I have some pics in my build thread from when I did my speakers showing how I gutted them and then put the new speakers in, including re-using the foam seal ring.

Here's what I used for the front doors and tweeters. No need to reuse the old stuff.

Do you notice a big difference with the new tweeters?

Definitly. I actually upgrade all the speakers, sub and amp and the head unit. I thoroughly enjoy it. I enjoy good sounding music when I'm off roading

Hell yeah? I love that stealthbox, I just can't bring myself to pay for it!
