I WANT TO SWAP OUT THE STOCK DECK OUT OUF MY XB, BUT I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO START OFF WITH.....CAN SOMEONE HELP ME PLS.....I'M SCARED I MIGHT BREAK SOMETHING.

ALSO, WHAT ARE THE SPEAKER SIZES IN THE XB....I KNOW THE FRON DOORS ARE 6.5", RIGHT? BUT WHAT ABOUT THE DASH AND REAR SPEAKERS? WHAT ARE THE SIZES?

 

 

Gota just go at it with no fear...

had a buddy of mine take it off the first time cause i was being a little Bit*h about it he just ripped it off. since then i have had it off 10 times fitting a tv in the dash

 

Mabye he's a tax auditor and uses caps in all his excel documents. Let him be. lol

 

try "searching" for the speaker sizes. Maybe hit a best buy or circuit city or ? and have them install it for you. I bought a h/u on sale and while they had a free install thing going on.

 

sorry for the caps, i'm a tech here at work and caps is needed when i type stuff.......

 

the dash speakers are like a 3.x" but i would just get a component set and mount the tweeters somewhere else...

 

and not use the dash speakers?

 

You could shove the tweeters in the dash spots. I'd rig up some little thing to aim them at your head a bit. The dash tweeters seem to fire up straight. It's probably not that hard. You could rig the component crossover up somewhere inside the dash.... I say this like i've done it.

Man, we need a sticky for the speaker sizes and whatnot for the xB.

 

check out some of the other threads in this forum. There is a LOT of chat going on right now about speaker sizes and head units. Lotsa good info in those threads.

 

even if you don't aim the tweets towards you, the sound will bounce off the windshield, right?

 

yes.....and there is controversy about which is better......just try to mount them with symmetry.....

 

My old car (Previa) had reflecting speakers. It worked, but I bet it messes with the sound stage since the reflections probably scatter a lot more than the sound waves coming straight off the speaker will. The previa's windshield was huge and really sloped.
