speaker question
I am looking to replace the factory rear speakers in my FRC. Does anyone know what size speakers are in the rear? I have already replaced the fronts, just need the rear sizes - any suggestions for what to put in is appreciated as well.

The rear speakers are 5.25 inch like the front. I never like to recommend a speaker because what sounds good to one person may not sound good to another. Go to a stereo store and listen to all of their 6 inch speakers and pick the best sounding one. Enjoy...

unless you have a Z06, FRC, or vert... then they are 5.25. However, I would say to try it without rears. I didn't believe it when I read it and I love big full sound, but took many peoples advise and only did a front sound stage and I don't miss the rear at all.
You'd be better off spending the money you were planning on front and rears for a NICER set of fronts. I went with JL C5s with an Alpine PDX 150 amp and they are awesome.

Z06, FRC, and Vert have 5.25" rear speakers. Coupes have 6.5" rears. Be careful on the depth of the new rear speakers as your fuel filler neck may get in the way of the magnet on the drivers side.

I have upgraded my system and removed the Bose system completely. I run an Alpine HU, Pioneer 720 PRS speakers up front, and an Xtant 603 amplifier.
(My Kicker sub took a crap on me, so I am waiting for a Polk Audio MOMO sub to arrive next week.

I don't run rear speakers, and I don't miss them at all. Your mileage may vary. Good luck.

5.25” speakers in the rear of the c5 frc or vert and 6.5" for the coupe. I got this from the sticky in the audio section.
