door speakers

[Darbgnik]

I canceled my Polk order when I saw the OEM grills wouldn't go back.

The OEM grills are a must for me. Any suggestions, with part numbers? Many thanks.

JL AUDIO VR600-CXi are the coaxial (separate tweeter mounted on the speaker) version of the components I have. They have been discontinued, but new in the box deals are still available on them. A quick fleabay search found some. These are 6 inch so your factory grill will fit.

They even have multiple mounting holes for those of you afraid of a 3/32 drill bit.

Silk dome tweeters and onboard crossovers. One stop shopping at a good price point.

$75 at Amazon.com, and dont worry about the stock photo, there are more than 4 holes.

BTW.... I have the VR600 CSi components, with the tweeter mounted where the factory dash tweeter was. Tossed the crossovers, and just reused the factory inline tweeter crossover, to save on rewiring.

Bought one off Amazon. Thanks Brad. Can't wait to see how they sound. I figure anything is better than stock.

boys and girls someone please provide us with:
The number of speakers in a Viper
The size of each speaker (including the sub)
please mention if we will need to change the Amp or not and if we need to change the stereo or not and if we do need to change any of them, please mention what will be the best replacement.

I'll be damned,you're right .I got the dB651 from the store [ 4 mounting holes ]in a box that says dB651S .I see the difference now looking at Polks' site.It does look like the Polk dB651S is a perfect fit with three mounting holes and the tweeter sitting shallower too giving clearence for the OEM grille to fit over it .However, the dB651S' low freq response isn't as good as the dB651.I may switch my 651 to the rear where there's no installation issues and get the 651S for the doors, putting the OEM grills back .

Sigh.

Hopefully the difference will be nominal between the Polks and JL Audio.

[cubican]

the JL will be fine but I cant remember if you have to drill an extra hole on them.

 

[Darbgnik]

I didn't have to drill any extra holes, and I'd put JL up against Polk anytime.

 

[vancouver-gts]

So, this dB651 will go to the rear [ low frequency spec is at 35HZ] pretty good and I'll get the dB651S for the doors this weekend .In the picture it's clear that the mounting hole for the speaker is too far forward

I used some pioneer 6 1/2" speakers in the doors. The mounting holes line up with the stock holes and the grill goes back on. I don't have the part number of the speaker i used it was 3 years ago.

Does any one have a wiring diagram of the stock amp that they can share for a Gen 4? I want to add some bass. Thinking about a Bazooka tube.

It's in the service manual. I'm rewiring mine now.

I bought the Kicker door speakers and they sounded great. I found a good on some Focals and to tell you the truth I can't tell the difference in a convertible. Maybe a coupe would be different but don't waste your money on high end speakers for a convertible. Just my opinion.

If anyone wants some slightly used Kickers or Focals for that matter make me an offer. Neither set has more than 10 hours on them.

I put this Focal system in my Vert with 400 watts behind it and they are some of the most amazing speakers I have ever heard in my life. Like being there....

2 way driver kit 165 KRX2 - Focal Car Audio speakers

Put an 8" sub in the floorboard of the passenger seat in a custom built box with 500 watts behind it. (Wife is 5' tall so no loss of leg room.)

The system overall is more than I could have ever dreamed of hearing.

 

[eurowalt]

I installed Kickers such a waste of $$$$$ I had Boston Acoustics Pro series before and lasted for over 12 years NEVER AN ISSUE!!!! I will be doing the same to the RT/10

 

[RECOIL]

JL's installed. Went pretty smoothly. With the sound up, I can def tell the difference. Thumbs up. With the volume low, it's more crisp for sure but the difference isn't huge.

But with it up, yeah, big difference.

Thanks.
Steve

 

[Darbgnik]

Glad it worked out.

 

[FLATOUT]

Installed the JL's this week as well and I love them, much better than stock!

 

[sn95gts]

I installer the kicker 600's the sound is a vast improvement over stock. Holding the stock speaker in hand I was surprised how lite it was.

 

[DMan]

My Polks just arrived at my door, will be trowing them in soon. Can't wait to see the difference. Nice thread and help. Thanks, All.

[vancouver-gts]

Dman, I got the Polk dB651s in the doors and dB651 at the back.
Setting the treble to +3, the bass -4 and it sounds crisp and clear.Sound quality and power won't be anywhere near to my son's Focal amp with Hertz speakers, but I don't plan on getting deaf anytime soon. You'll definitely hear a difference compared to the OEM speakers

 

[redrichard]

Installed a set of Kicker KS600 6" in the front doors. Big improvement over stock, the factory grills fit and is near impossible to see that they are not stock. Very simple to install and green is negative on the wiring. I am still fading the system to the front as the sub in the back still breaks up when you crank it up. Got them from Half Price Car Audio. com for $58.75 with shipping $66.72. Still looking for a solution for the sub.

On my 2009 the green is positive, what year is your viper.

 

[Barrels]

Wow. I thought you guys were crazy but then i went and checked for myself...you guys are right. My Viper does have a stereo. I guess I just never noticed.
