99 Intrepid Front door speaker changes

Hey, Just wondering for whoever may read this. The front door speakers
on my 99 Intrepid ES are pretty much going. It's the Infinity system
which dissapoints me but I'm looking at what speakers to use to replace
them. Any recomendations in terms of sound quality and get the bass
pumping a little bit for what speakers to use. and would the speakers
adapt no problem or plug right in to the wires running there already or
would I have to make a few changes/additions? Any comments or tips
would be much appreciated.

 

I hesitate to recommend a particular speaker or brand, because no matter
what I recommend it will either be "not good enough" for what you think
your needs are, or "too expensive". But, you might take a look at
Pioneer's line of speakers. They will definitely be a step up, and are
moderately priced.

Be aware that the round door speakers on Chryslers are not the standard
mounting - (almost) all other cars use four screws at 90° spacing for
mounting - strangely, the Chryslers use three screws at 120°. The nice
thing about many of the Pioneers that you would want to consider is that
they come with Chrysler adapter rings (should say so in their descriptions).

Also, you can move up in size - IIRC like 1/4" or 1/2" from the factory
size for that location (something like 6-3/4 vs. 6-1/2 - it's been a
while since I did mine - but check the apps. listings of the speakers.

I just checked,and the speakers are referred to by Pioneer as "oversize
6-1/2". I'd give you the model number that I got as a starting point in
your search, but I don't have the boxes any more. The speakers are
tri-axial, as opposed to the original single driver (possibly two).
