    Default VS Stock Speaker types?

    Hello,

    I'm just wondering, did Exec have different speakers than say Berlina/Calais/Stat,
    which cars had the better stock speakers?

    Just out of curiosity, cheers guys

    Im pretty sure they are all the same size speakers, 6 inches in the parcel shelf and i think off the top of my head 4 inches in the front door trims ??
    As for who had the best stock speakers im sure they are all made out of the same paper rubbish hahaha

    are you sure they are only 4inch in the front? thats pretty weak for such a large car. i would have thought that they would be 6inch speakers. the only difference between executive and statesman is that the statesman had a 10 speaker stereo whereas the executives only had a 4 speaker stereo i think.

    6" front and rear, tweeters in the dash for all models except statesman. And no, statesman speakers aren't any better, there are just more of them

    Cheers anyway.

    Yeah good old paper cone. Cost's 50 cents to make and it's good enough for a family car.

    I think caprices might have had a couple 4"s in the roof did they?

    IMO the stock paper cone speakers are pretty good for what they are (factory speakers in a 15 year old car). Hell of a lot better than all the used jap import cars that all have rotted out surrounds.

    Hi,

    can anyone who has a pair of stock VS Speakers check the impenence on them, it should be written on the back.

    Want to know whether it's 2, 4 or 8 ohm.

    Cheers.

    4 ohm is normal for standard car audio stuff. Can nearly garuntee they wont be 2 or 8, that would be really really odd.

    Fair nuff, I've yet to see a stock car audio system myself with 2 or 8 ohm out of the more modern era of vehichles, but not that i have made a point of always checking that out too.
    2 ohm is usually reserved for high power speakers, and 8 is generally home audio gear, but that is not nessacarily the case these days anymore either.
