Can't find the speakers sizes for my 2013 GP2.not even the dealer knows they just have a replacement part #. Would it be the same as the r56 oem stereo. any info would be great. cheers

 

Also curious. I love my GP but it needs help.

 

yep me to. Im not looking to add amps and stuff just replace the front door speakers for a little better sound. but can't find any info anywhere. I even went to 2 car audio shops and they had no idea on size.

 

6.5" will fit depending on the speaker although not sure what the factory speaker size actually is. I am have 6.5" Polk MM series components installed in mine this week along with polk 5 channel digital amp, polk 6.5's in rear,polk mm series 10" sub in boot and 9500 series Pioneer head unit.

Still unsure why such nice cars come with the some of the worst sounding factory audio units I have ever heard :(

 

I have a pair of Kicker 40CS674 6-3/4" installed and they fit perfectly. Also a pair of Polk Audio DB351 3.5" on the top. I kind of wish I would've bought the a-pillars and gotten a component set with tweeters but I'm happy for now... maybe in a year or two I'll consider it .

 

thanks for the info!!! thats what i was looking for. did u just hook them up to the stock stereo without an amp.if so how do they sound.. i'm sure they are better than stock not matter what. cheers

 

They stock head unit is crap but that being said new speakers will sound better than stock even without a amp just depends on the quality your after.

This is just copy pasted from the quote pdf from the company doing the work for me. Will be able to opperate bluetooth calls and basic functions from the steeriing wheel. The one kit changes the location of the A/C control's and switches to allow for a double din install where the boost cd is plus has filler plates for the stuff inside the speedo.

 

Yep, I did the channel swap and replaced the speakers. No amp at the moment. Don't really see a need though, they are loud enough for me. Besides loud speakers... is there any other reason to get an amp? Sorry, I'm pretty new to this lol

 

I feel the same way .not looking for a crazy stereo just better sounding .i will be doing the same set up .just replacing door speakers.thanks for the info .cheers

 

Oh, yeah forgot to say... they sound A LOT better than the stock speakers but I'm sure they would sound a lot better if I had tweeters either in the A-pillars or somewhere higher up on the door. If you know how to do it go for it

 

Are you running any kind of crossover between the 6 3/4 and the 3.5? Are they wired to the same channel?

 

no crossover, it was pretty much a swap. Maybe in a year or two I'll consider changing the set up but for now I'm happy.

 

I think I'm going to order your front speaker suggestion. I wonder how difficult hooking up an AMP to run them and the price?
The GP has no rear speakers so maybe I will just add a Free Air 10" sub to the music some fullness.

 

Well i just installed these HERTZ ENERGY 6.5 2-WAY COAXIAL SPEAKERS in the lower doors and Hertz Dieci 100mm 4" 2Way Coaxial Speakers in the upper .Easy install only took about an hr to do both sides taking my time. No crossover just straight speaker swap. Super happy with the way they sound . Huge improvement from stock speakers. very happy with the sound Thanks for all the info guys!!
