Audio Speakers Replacement

Stock stereo, 6-disc in dash CD player, 6 speaker system(4 6x8's leg level in front and rear doors, 2 eye level tweeters in front doors). I am no audiophile, nor a tech-spert. I think I have a blown front 6x8, and just want to replace them all, with some good thump, but can plug and play in the stock system/location. You are all the best!

yes and no.
the radio will send enough wattage for the speakers to play at moderate to low volumes but when you start to crank the volume past halfway they will sound distorted because the radios internal amp will be overworking itself trying to supply the necessary wattage, for best result you would need a amp on them

This is a step by step video guide to install/replace all 4 speakers in a S197 (2005-2009) Ford Mustang. Brought to you by AVIC411.com and ...

I've been hearing people using the speakers from say Peavey, that are 8-ohm 350w, 98db sensitivity, as a replacement for car audio subwoofers. The main reason for doing this it seems is the high ohm and sensitivity, and it seems to be much cheaper. I believe another statement was that you need to get an instrument power amp, instead of a car audio amplifier, so you can get the most power to the 8-ohms. If someone can enlighten me on how all this works out, I'd appreciate it greatly.

Thank you!

Use a 2-channel car amp bridged. That is 4 Ohms for one woofer and 2 Ohms for two.

But those speakers probably won't sound very good without massive power. They are designed very stiff because of the high transients of musical instruments.

I have a Lexus SC430 and the factory system uses 8ohm speakers. I blew several of the speakers and can not find replacement 8ohm car audio speakers, only 4 ohm. What happens if I use 4ohm speakers? The OEM speakers cost $200+ each so that is not an option.

If you use a 4ohm speaker, the power will increase from the amp, this could be a problem, if you are using the factory system and stereo. If it was designed with 8ohm speakers, it was most likely done for a reason. Switching to 4 ohm could cause unwanted affects on the radio amplifier, if it can not handle an impedance lower than 8 ohm.

The cabs are fine, the Mid and high drivers are in great shape, but the woofers are blown and the cones are beyond repair. I can not find anyplace online that sells replacement parts for this particular model, and I can't find anyplace nearby in Indiana that does loudspeaker repair. If you can find out anything about this unit, or replacement woofers, may you please let me know? thank you!

What you are looking for is a 12" woofer driver. You don't need a manufacturer's replacement--you only need to find one that matches the impedance and power capacity of your old driver (or, if you don't know that, look at the amp specs for the impedance and peak power output capability of the amp). There are many on-line sources

You will have to get into the cabinet to make the replacement, and almost all 12" speakers will fit, but you may have to drill new mounting holes if it is not an exact replacement.

It is important to use the same speaker impedance if the speaker has a passive crossover for the woofer.

I have a 1996 Pontiac Grand Am and the covers on the front passenger side door speaker was busted. Anyone know websites I can get a replacement from?

Here is a pic of what happened.
