so i was at best buy and they said tht all four of the speakers in our car (LS atleast) are 6 1/2 speakers...
i thought tht the back ones were 6x9's?

is it true that they;re all 6 1/2's??

 

nope. the rear speakers are 6x9. if they thought they were all 6 1/2 i wouldnt even bring my car there to let them do the install.

 

6x9 in rear as far as i no they work fine in mine

 

yes they are 6X9s in the back

 

dam lol ya they typed it in the computer and it said they were all 6 1/2 lol idk haha i got some Pioneers tho (only bought two 6 1/2's bc of the confusion) used for $20 cheaper that new, they said they were never installed but just opened and returned so ya haha good deal i guess

guess there going in the front doors then ahha

i woulndt bring it there for an install either way haha, they would charge WAY WAY to much, and i can prolly do it my self just fine

best buy sales people dont have a clue. go somewhere else

 

i knw tht, thts y i had them type it in the computer lol and thts what the computer said haha

glad i only boought 2 hha

 

I guess 6.5's would fit....

Yeah, it's always better to go into any Best Buy location
AFTER you've already done all your research.

If you get the wrong information that they normally give first,
then at the best you lose alot of time, at worst you lose money.

 

ya well it was a spur of the moment thing, we went there to take in my gf computer and i was like "hey i wanna look at speakers" and they had some 6.5 pioneers for real cheap so i got some haha

 

I know this thread is a few months old, but I was looking at Crutchfield just now and they also say 6.5" in the rear. All over this forum I'm seeing guys installing 6x9s in the rear, yet so many places say they won't fit. Obviously all those places are wrong 'cause I'm looking at pictures that prove otherwise - just seems sort of weird.

I haven't really looked in the trunk of our '08 Coupe LT, and that's obviously the smart thing to do, it just seems odd to me that so many sources have the same consistantly wrong info. Makes me wonder if Chevy goofed somewhere on some release notes or something.


Edit to add: I just checked for model years other than our 2008 (well, I checked 2005 MY anyway) and Crutchfield shows rears for that year as 6x9. Can anyone confirm that that there was a change later on? Yeah, yeah, I'll go check out the actual units in our car tomorrow just to be sure...... just wondering.

 

pretty sure theres still 6X9s in the back

 

Ya it's fucked up that everywhere says6.5 in the back I'm pretty sure when I look in my trunk I don't c 6.5 speakers,I c 6x9 . trust in the best buy tecs. They know all

 

nah ive got 6.5s in my rear

 

lol i have some fiberglass in the rear... i keep on trying to put speakers back there but they dont go thru

 

i have 6X9 in the back they fit perfect. no problems what soever
i have Alpine SPR-69C's
