speaker size
 

ok so i thought that the speaker size for my 2005 monte was 6.5 fronts and 6x9 rears, so i was looking on ebay and saw some i was interested in but they have this tool that u enter year make model in and that says that the fronts are 6 3/4 is this true???

RE: speaker size
 

Your right, 6.5's in the front and 6x0's in the back.

RE: speaker size
 

The fronts are definitely not 6 3/4", I've never even seen or heard of a 6 3/4" speaker for a car. When I replaced the door speakers I had to cut away material from the speaker mounting bracket in order for it to fit. I used 6 1/2" speakers. The stock speakers measured slightly under 6 1/4" so I can't tell you what size they really are but I know that I had to make some modifications to get my 6.5's to fit. But yeah, 6x9's out back.

alright thanxs for the info yea that 6 3/4 size speakers didnt sound rite thanks again

About speakers
 

I have a 2005 Monte Carlo that I'm trying to install front speakers in. But the one I order are for mine car but they don't fit. What do I do about installing them.

1.) Start a new thread rather than tacking it onto a 13 year old one. Many people read the first couple posts and respond and don't even get down to the bottom posts to realize someone is asking another question.

2.) Look at the package and give us the listed nominal size or the part number. (6.5", 5.25", etc).

3.) Let us know what issue you're having installing. Is it because of a diameter mismatch, is it because you bought an oval speaker instead of a round, is it because you don't know how to connect the stock wire harness to the new speaker?


Without that key info, we've got no way to help you. You could be trying to install a 15" for all we know with the limited info provided.

They are 6.5 speakers and they are round not oval.

Well, that's a start.

You still didn't provide any detail about the exact issue you're having, so no one can provide any useful advice.


Just as a general rule, I'd say 6.5s are usually too big to perfectly drop into a 6th gen. Of course brand to brand varies a good bit, but 6.5s can take a bit of work to get them in.
