Got some 6" Speakers not sure whether i shud put in rear or front :S

[Jordzz]

hey guys just picked up a brand new free pair of Dominator 6" 3 Way Speakers 180 Watts
not sure whether they should be for front or the rear
im hoping rear cos i wna replace the 4" dash speakers in my vp atm.
any help would be appreciated thanks.

The originals in a VP in the rear parcel shelf were 6" so these should fit without to much hassle. Depends if u wanna put 6 x 9" in the rear at a later date. I have 6" Xplods in the back of my Calais and there gr8!

yeah i understand that mate but i mean the speakers themselfs going by the specifications.
sorry for not being more pacific but thats what i meant :P
cheers for that though mate

i have 6'5" speaker in the parcel shelf i added a spacer between the body and the parcel shelf its a 15mm or 18mm i cant remember but it looks good and heaps of room if your speaker have a big magnet

Does your car have the factory 6inch in the front i don’t remember if they do.
But if they do then you are better of putting them in the front unless you get splits for the front.
The front because it will give you better sound then the rear.
And forget about the 4inch on the front unless you have a good crossover for this 4 inch speaker
it will limit your system when turning the volume up

only got the 4inches in the dash thats all
got nothing in the rear so i was just gna get some new 4" ones and replace them and stick the ^" ones i have in the back for now and stick a sub in later on.

The specifications of a speaker dosent determine where they should be mounted.

In your case (VN - 4" fronts) the rear is a better option, as its much easier to install them!

I think you should put them in the back because you might have to cut up the door panel to fit a 6" but its totally up to you

Get VR/VS door pods and fit them in the front. You don't want 4" speakers in the front, they sound terrible.

If your willing to spend some decent money, there are some decent 4 inch speakers on the market.The dash represents a better mounting point as far as your sound stage projection is concerned IMO anyway..However for the money you spend, a 6-6.5 inch speaker, is usually going to out perform a 4 inch speaker.

What colour is your VP's trim inside? The main issue i have with using the later model door pockets, is that they don't match up.But if your not fussy, the you shouldn't need worry.

But, regardless of whether you put them in the front or back, it's hardly going to make much of a difference anyway.Those speakers you have pictured, are probably of the same build quality as the rear speakers that were factory fitted in the rear location anyway...
