what kind of speakers do you all recommend for my vibe? i am not looking to spend to terribly much, but i really want to get rid of the stock speakers. how big do they have to be?thanks

I've got some Boston Acooustic, S-65. They're pretty descent for the price, you can probably find them at 60U$ on ebay.Mike

I believe the front and the rear are both 6.5s. The fronts will also need a 1" spacer to clear the window.

You are right. 6.5" speakers in both front and rear doors. Source: Crutchfield.com Crutchfield advised that speaker brackets are necessary for proper installation.

ok cool. thanks

i put 6.5 inch in the front and back.. in the back door I used the speaker bracket that came from Crutchfield but in the front I used a post from the site and cut out the speaker cone from the stock front speakers and used a dremel tool to cut the plastic ribs holding the magnet in with some other minor modifications mounted the aftermarket speaker in the remaining stock speaker frame ..worked great

thats what i did to the front speaker but i just took out the rear speaker assembly and put the new speaker in the door no braket needed.heres what the front looks like

my buddy can get me cheap speakers... but they make them 6.75"would they still work as far as fitment on the stock location

I checked Crutchfield for you and a 6 3/4" speaker will fit. I copied the following from the website: Installation Details for your 2005 Vibe » Use the factory speaker grilles. » A speaker adapter bracket is required. It is included free with your speaker purchase. » Re-drill the mounting screw holes. » Drill out rivets to remove the factory speakers. Most of the speakers listed were 6 3/4" but will fit the 6 1/2" opening. Maybe your buddy can help you with the brackets needed or you might be able to modify the factory bracket like meistees did.

ok cool. ill look into that.thanks

Thanks for your speakers pictures, NascarXprt Very helpfull
