'84 300sd Speakers? - boomerbeach - 03-17-2011
Acquired this car, last summer '10, and have been restoring mech & now "looks". I replaced an ol Pioneer cassette tape/radio with a nice, new Sony ... My speakers are not terrible (either orig or replaced some time ago), however, I care to replace same... A lil' krappy on lo-end sounds.
Anyone know what an '84 300sd has relative to speaker size and replacements? I understand "clearance" to be a challenge on the fronts which I understand may be close to 4 x 6". Rears? Don't know.
I'm all ears on any suggestions.
"Boomerbeach" in SoCal

Pretty sure its 4x6 in all four corners. I cut out my deck lid and put 6x9s in the back though.

Thanks, btw .. What speaker brands did you put in and are you happy?

Pioneer everything. Really happy with it.

If I remember correctly I put Alpine 4x6 speakers in all four corners. Had to make some spacer/grills for the rears but they do not look out of place. Sounds much better than what I had but I had all original stereo prior to that. I put in an Alpine head unit at that time.

Look up Infinity 6412CF, 6422CF, 6432CF, basically the same model with slight changes over a couple years. They fit perfectly for me with only minor cutting of the speaker's bracket. I'm happy with the sound, but I also have a Boss BASS600 velcroed to the rear shelf.
