Speakers for cabby

What speakers will fit into into the speaker pods of a 1990 cabby. I would like to keep the pods so trying to get the that will fit. Would prefer seperate tweeters

If they're oval, 6"x4". If they're round with tweeters already, 13cm (I think). AFAIK no 6x4 speakers come as components, so you'd need to use separate tweeters if you were desparate, but to be honest I'd regard 6x4 as a tweeter anyway…..

JBL, do a 6x4in and they sound good, but you may have to trim a bit of bass off :)

The front speaker pods will take 6 x 4 speakers, the rears 4 x 4.

I used Infinity 452i 6 x 4 105w in the front (straight fit)
and

Infinity 452i 4 x 4 in the rear.

Try Southside Audio, Southampton. I got mine from there about ?100 all in p+p I'm sure they'll have Infinity to fit 5"…. if you want to use that brand. That was in 2005 (I think).


I take it that your '90 does have door pods, if so there are 2 designs 1. a big round style and 2. an oval style if yours is the oval the there is a screw that holds the pod in place at the front. You then have to wriggle the pod about a bit to get it out. Unplug/ screw the old speaker and replace with the new. Replace.

The rears are more complicated (only a little). You have to remove the plastic seat belt cover at the base and then pop the rear card off its mounting. Once removed you will probably find a plastic membrane. Turn this back and locate the speaker. Unscrew and refit the new on . Replace card etc.

My rear speakers were wired from factory so that the balance couldn't be altered. There was a small block connector just below the knee bar on the A post. I chopped that out and replaced the rear cables with decent ones to get better sounds.
