I'm replacing the stock bose speakers in the front 2 doors with Scosche brand speakers. well, i went to google, and found that the front speakers are 6 1/2...well..i grabbed 5 1/4. my question is, can i still put the 5 1/4 speaker where the 6 1/2 went? Please reply quickly.

Thats pretty demanding for a newb. Use search it is your friend. You can use 5 1/4 but you will need a bracket.

sorry for being demanding..and thanks for the immediate reply ^.^ but i was just wondering, where can i get said mounting bracket? i'm fairly new to this stuff. i'm a 17 y/o who doesn't really know too much about cars, but knows just enough.

Can you return the 5 1/4 speakers. If so thats what I would do. And get these: http://www.crutchfield.com/p_500SPR60/A ... tml?tp=105
Cant remember where I saw the bracket mabey somebody else knows.

That's a nice midrange, but if he's using a coax, that won't give him any highs. Components cost more and need to be amplified externally to get anything worth listening to out of them.

The Alpines fabbio25 listed are good, but a bit more than Scoche speaker price range. The Type S is a better value. I ran the previous version of these:

On my old DD and was happy with just HU power.

6.5 is the way to go if you can return the 5.25s. Otherwise, check out this guy:

And see if he'll make you a set for a 5.25" driver.
