new speakers

[dzne_girl21]

Hey everyone,
I'm new here and I needed some help. I want to get new speakers for my car for my birthday, but I can't seem to figure out what size I need. I have a 97 mustang coupe. Also, what are some good brands and places I should look. I've been looking on ebay and Crutchfield, just to get some ideas. Thanks for the help.

I'm partial to the Infinity Kappa's.

Alpine Type R's and Polk are good speakers too.

Your car has 6x8 speakers up front. 5 1/4" out back if you have the Mach 460 sound system, 6x8's if you don't

Do not buy used speakers!!
You do not know what kind of envoironment they were in. Did they get wet, who knows. Did the previous owner have a cheap amp that "clipped" (music is an AC signmal and clipping is when the volume is turned up so high that the output becomes a steady DC voltage, thi sdestroys speakers) the output? who knows.

I would go to an audio store listen to what they have and then get prices from crutchfiled and make your best deal.

Good luck!!!!!

It's not clipping that blows speakers, it's the thermal energy that's created that blows speakers. So the old addage "you can blow a 1000 watt sub with a 100 watt amp" is false.

Also, Scala1 has some great deals on E-bay. I've gotten stuff from him before.
