Default What speakers will fit?

I wanted to know what speaker size fits in a 2017 Nissan 370Z Nismo? Speakers being replaced will be the two front door speakers, two dash speakers,two rear side corner behind the seat speaker. I was told the door speakers are 6 1/2",dash speakers are 1" tweeters,and the rear side corner behind the seat speakers are 3 1/2". Speakers being considered are Kicker KS series speakers will they bolt right in? Do you need adapter spacers for the front doors using Kicker KS series 6 1/2" speakers or will they bolt right in the doors? Are there subwoofers in the rear of the vehicle?

Check out the crutchfield outfit my car page. They have a rather detailed guide for the 370z.

https://www.crutchfield.com/Car/outfitmycar/mycar.aspx
They list a detailed master sheet for the tools needed for modifications. The also have adapters and recommended speakers.

Sonicelectronix.com has a good guide as well -

Mine is an '09, but I don't believe there's been any changes.

I put 6 3/4" in doors with spacer (recommended), 1" in dash and 3 1/2" in rear.
If you got the Blose system, you'll have a sub in back. If not, no sub.

Why not? There are equally good 5 1/4 speakers that will fit well in a good adapter or cut out.

Ok. Just seemed awfully small for the space.

I am looking for front door speakers that have the best fitment. I am open to any opinions on what speakers everyone thinks will fit best without using spacers. I am thinking about doing 6 1/2" speakers in the front doors though. What speakers would you get? What size?

You do or don't have the speakers yet? The 6 1/2 is the largest circle size you can fit, 6 3/4 is the most popular size as you can fit them in incorrect size adapters and spacers. You can also fit a 6x9 or 6x8 component speaker, these are not that popular anymore, but JL and kicker made some of the best when they were.

5 1/4 and 1/2's are generally aimed towards larger systems that have dedicated subswoofers and mid range drivers as they have deeper cones per depth, resulting in slightly tighter, more accurate low bass and mids. The larger inch or so may throw out a bit more bass as a "do it all" speaker though, thus 6 1/2's are recommended for basic systems.

From my experience, you're probably going to have to use spacers.
The stock speakers are a joke in that they have an extremely small magnet. Once you put in aftermarket that have a good magnet, you're probably going to get in the way of the window.

You can make your own adapters pretty easily by using the OEM speakers for a template.

I'm not going to point fingers, but there is a LOT of wrong information and/or false facts in this thread.

One thing I will tell you right now, "cone depth" has absolutely nothing to do with anything. It has absolutely nothing to do with sound quality nor does it have anything to do with sound quantity.

Now the curvature of the cone and how the cone transitions to the surround, that's a different story, one I won't bother going into here.

Quicksilvers, my advise to you is to do more research before making your decision based off of the information in this thread alone.

Quicksilvers, my advise to you is to do more research before making your decision based off of the information in this thread alone.

Whats the purpose of claiming the information is wrong without presenting any facts to your claim.

The speaker depth dictates the potential angle and curvature of the cone, if you reduce the speaker depth you reduce the potential cone depth. Less speaker depth means you inherently sacrifice the curvature of the cone. Changing the cone convexity can and will change the directional beaming of a speaker certainly in the low mids->high fq range. Lastly changing the cone depth changes the overall displacement of air. changing a number of factors can change the total displacement of air, but the primary contributors is the depth of the speaker and xmax of the voicecoil, and the depth of the cone. That was my point about shallow depth speakers which sacrifice both of these factors. A 6 inch wide by 6 inch deep cone will always have more cone area than a 6 inch wide by 1 inch deep speaker.
