C70 Speaker Replacement


sox2112

Recommended Posts

i did a search and couldn't find much info other then for the dynaudio system. i have a c70 coupe w/ the sc-816 hu. from previous posts i have come up w/ these speaker sizes:

1 inch tweets on the dash and rear deck

4" speakers on the top part of doors

8" woofers(mid bass/mid range) on the bottom part of the doors

6.5" speakers on the rear deck

does this sound correct?

also i have a 4 channel amp...i will use that to power the 4 speakers

i have a 2 channel amp for the 8" woofers

but do i have to run tweets to an amp or can i just put new ones in and leave the connection alone?

also can i hook up amps to the sc-816?

i wanna get speakers in the next day or so...so any help would be great

So you don't have the factory 9" subs? Mine are 5" center, 8.5" door woofers, 4" door mids, 1" dash tweeters, 6.5" rears, 9" subs + ahhed JL 10" sub :)

i dont have the pro-logic setup (no center channel) where would the subs be? i look in my trunk at the speakers in the rear deck...it looks like i have a speaker and a tweet in the rear deck. are you sure the door woofers aren't just 8"?

Front door woofers are larger than a standard 8". You can get 8" to work, you'll just be positioning the driver with the screws along the outer frame of the woofer, versus using the woofer mounting holes. The rear 9" woofers oddly are the same - slightly bigger than an aftermarket (usually Morel) 9".

how much does all that cost?

i priced it out the other day but lost the piece of paper...probably around $400 for the speakers (ebay or some other online car audio store) and i already own the 2 amps. the eclipse avn 5510 is like $1100 or so
