Re: Everything you need to know about the Vibe

5: 05+ Vibes/Matrixes have a better lower-console (below shifter) bin. The latch on hte 03-04 is a peice of crap & barely holds it closed. Hitting a bump too hard or slamming the gearshift will open the bin on the 03-04's. The 05+ has a much larger latch mechanism to keep it shut. You have to s...

Re: Do all 6.5" speakers fit the front door?

Thanks guys. The size of magnet, basket and depth seem to make sense. I went ahead and ordered a set of Alpine SPS-610C components right from Crutchfield.

Speaker size confirmation?

I am hoping to clear up some come confusion regarding speaker sizes in the 2003-2008 Vibes; in particular, the rear door speakers! When searching for factory speaker sizes, the rear doors are listed as having 5.25" speakers. However, when you visit Crutchfield's website, they list 6.5" spe...

Calling all stealth subwoofer setups

I'm looking to see some pictures of "stealthy" subwoofer installations in your 2003-2008 Vibes. Some information about materials, subwoofer driver(s) and amp that were used and perhaps some of the problems you encountered doing the installation. Perhaps include some of the things you would...
