Capri Stereo Speaker Question
« on: August 23, 2008, 10:53:00 AM »

Hello -
I need to replace the speakers in my door panels on my 93 Capri.  Can anyone verify if the 6 1/2" speaker is the correct size for the door panels.

Thanks!
Jeff

I'm fairly sure that is the correct size.

Thanks Rocketman - appreciate the quick answer!  I looked in the audio section of my service manual and there was only installation diagrams and no mention of size. Plus my car is at the body shop and I can't physically measure the opening.

Crutchfield confirms it is a 6.5" speaker.

not all 6 1/2s will work, u need narrow depth speakers. there is not much thickness to our doors. when i replaced with rockford speakers, i had to top mount my speakers. which mean they mount outside the door itself. 5x7 rears for our car as well if u even need to replace them. 4x6 will work to, if the speakers come with adaptors, but again depth matters as that is where the top goes done into, right behind them. so make sure to test fit, i never measured the actual depths of both locations as my mind was set for custom install that i wanted to do.
