c5 speaker sizes
I did a search but did not come up with anything about the exact size of all the speakers in a 00 coupe.
Im going to best buy to get new speakers and just need to know what size I need for the front and rear.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Rear : 6.5inches and make sure that the replacements are shallow
Front 3.5 inch tweeter and 8inch subwoofer
However; a direct replacement 8inch subwoofer will not fit. In fact, you will either have to fabricate a speaker template (see pic) or buy one (a couple of forum members make them - see Audio section for details)

So, with the rear I can put in a regular thin-well 3-way speaker...?
and in the front couldn't I just put in the 3.5 tweeter and remove the 8'' if I plan to put a sub in the back?
How would I install 6.5'' components and tweeters in the front if I wanted to do that? What template would I need?
Its a 1998...
thanks

Actually, I wouldn't bother spending the money, as the stock radio just doesn't have the "horsepower" or equalization to really drive a good speaker that's placed in the rear. I had a pair of 6.75", 3-way Kenwoods that I briefly used in another car, so I wasn't out any money. If I had purchased them specifically for my 'Vette, however, I would have been greatly disappointed, as the difference in sound is so slight.

I am putting in a new deck, and I found the 6.75 speakers for the rear that are thin-welled and will fit... My concern is what to do in the front...

Question from above thread:
For the front couldn't I just put in the 3.5" tweeter and remove the 8'' woofer if I put a sub in the back?
How would I install 6.5'' components and tweeters (or coaxial) in the front if I wanted to do that? What template (or adapter) would I need?
