Hi,
I got a Ford Falcon Au 6 Wheeler ute and was wondering that size the front speakers are? Doing a lot of driving in the old girl and need to upgrade the sound system to something half decent. From memory when I last took the door card off I think the fronts were 5x7"? can you fit anything bigger maybe 6x9"? Will be manufacturing something up in the rear to accommodate rear speakers. Thanks Last edited by nismo180sx; 19-03-2015 at 07:16 AM. |

Yep 5x7 speakers front and rear. There are adapters available on ebay that allow you to use better quality speakers in more common sizes (Especially 6" round).

I bought adapters for mine, and fitted 6.5" round ones. Awesome improvement.

Yep I did the same. 6" front with splits & same in the rear (although full range rears), all Clarion.
From memory I could only use 2 of the four bolt holes in the parcel shelf. That's all I needed though. Make your own sub box (long & narrow) & you'll easily get a couple big doof doofs behind the seats. Fit amp/s under passenger seat? Amps need to be flat/level to allow the heatsink to work efficiently. In my old XF I had an amp on a 45 degree angle, mounted on the back of the sub box, but it would overheat & cut out when I cranked it up! Love that rig though...cool man!!! |
