View Full Version : Speaker sizes and depth?


esreveRBackwards03-31-2011, 05:25 PMI did a forum search but there are so many answers I was not sure which to use. So because there is no answer in THIS forum and it is not included in the "Stock Speaker Sizes, Locations, Pin Outs, and Harness P/Ns" i am asking...

I have a 88 t-top na. Looking for the speaker sizes and depth of said speakers, front and rear.

Thx! esreveRBackwards04-01-2011, 10:34 AMAlso has anyone ever measured the space under the seats in a stock t-top mk1? muffinman04-05-2011, 12:19 PMFront 4" don't know depth
Rear 3.5" don't know depth
I have measured under the seat but I can't remember how much space there is.:D esreveRBackwards04-07-2011, 04:09 PMThx for the reply. From my forum searches i've seen 5" for fronts mentioned. Nothing much on depth. Guess I will just keep digging thru the forum.

I guess nothing beats "going out and measuring it myself." :)

Yes, please do measure, as the rest of us are just to lazy to pull the speakers out and do it ourselves, lol. Actually it would be good info to have as a number of more expensive 4" speakers have mounting depths that are a bit questionable for the front locations. I did measure the mounting depths quite some time ago, but didn't write down the results, and have forgotten their exact measurements.

FYI: The mounting depth of the front speakers does vary between the two, as the support cross-member that runs beneath both speaker locations has a different high point at each of the two locations. If I recall correctly, the right front speaker generally has quite a bit of mounting depth, and will not generally be an issue. However, I think the left front speaker location only has around 1.7-2" of mounting depth. While that is not an issue for most coaxials, it is a problem for a lot of 4" component speakers. Plus the odd shape of the front speaker openings cam make it difficult to mount speakers with mounting tabs, etc. that are not easily modified to fit the shape of the openings.

To measure the mounting depth a straight edge should be placed across the two high points on the openings, where the two screw holes are, as the speaker will have to rest on these, and then a ruler can be used to measure from that line down to the cross-member. esreveRBackwards04-07-2011, 06:46 PMAwesome reply. Just the info I was looking for. I'll let you know the results.

Suggestions on measuring under the seat?

Well, as far as how to do it, I think you would almost have to make some sort of jury-rigged cardboard box, and fiddle with its dimensions until it fits the smallest/largest areas available under the seat, at its furthest points on its tracks. This means measuring it when the seat is slid forward all the way (smallest area under the seat), and slid back all the way (largest area under the seat).

Personally though, I think only the smallest area of measurement is the only really useful one, as otherwise you must always leave your seat in one position, and never slide it forward too much, or risk snagging it on whatever you have under the seat. The other issue would be that it could make it very difficult to remove and install the seat if you can't slide it forward and backwards completely in order to access the 4 mounting bolts.

I had a rather large amp under my '85 seat at one point, and could really only slide the seat so far forward without it sticking on the amps large fins. I could deal with that, lol, but leave the car with say a valet, or at a garage, and you can be guaranteed that no matter how you warn them about it they are guaranteed to slide the seat forward and get it stuck. I even had one buffoon at a dealer do it immediately after I told him not to, and he bent the damn slider adjuster bar because he could not seem to figure out why the seat wouldn't slide properly. There are lots and lots of morons in this world. Now days though I avoid having anything under the seats that can cause this issue.

FYI: Using a configured box will also help make more useful measurements as most objects going under the seat will be of a rectangular nature, and this way you won't accidentally be taking into account some of the irregular shaped parts of the bottom seat structure, such as the uneven nature of the floor panel, the points on the bottom of the seat where the slider cross connector attaches, and also where the return spring attaches. However, if you want to get picky it would be a good idea to make one measurement with the return slider spring in place, and one without it, as while it is nice to have it in place, it won't kill you to have it removed. I've automatically taken it the return spring off the bottom of all my seat because I know it really limits what can be placed under them. You and your passengers just have to put a little effort into sliding the seat back forward when needed, lol. esreveRBackwards04-08-2011, 01:54 PMAnother great answer. Thanks. I'm gonna be doing some work this weekend. I WILL post my findings.

The 4's are pretty tight in the dash so I don't think so. I've heard of people using the 8" bazooka tube behind the passanger seat. If you're short then you could fit it behind the DS but usually you want the passenger to be uncomfortable instead of you. :D bhanson04-11-2011, 09:19 PMThe 4's are pretty tight in the dash so I don't think so.

Alright thanks! I was considering the 8'', but i wasnt quite sure about the fit. So now i think that ill definately be going with the 8''! :D this is true, it will absolutely, positively be going behind the passengers seat. :p TaylorMade04-27-2011, 05:27 PMhi I'm looking to put a new stereo system in my mr2... do you know whether or not you can fit anything bigger than a 4'' speaker in the dash? the rear speakers aren't that big of an issue because I'm going to have to make custom paneling... oh! one more question, has anyone ever put a 6.5'' bazooka tube behind the seat?

4 is all you can get in there. I just replaced mine to day with some kickers that worst buy had on close out for $25, regular $79. In fact, I had to trim off 2 of the 4 mounting tabs to get them in there. muffinman04-28-2011, 09:50 AM4 is all you can get in there.

It seems like no matter which speaker you use two tabs have to removed to fit. Powered by vBulletin® Version 4.2.5 Copyright © 2026 vBulletin Solutions Inc. All rights reserved.
