Hey so it's a base model, I'm wondering if any of these will work? My right door speaker is rattling at any volume so I figure its blown. I'd prefer to go with option #1 I figure it doesn't hurt to have an extra if it's a better deal.

They'll "work", but it's going to sound different from the other side, speakers levels likely won't match up since they're made for different wattage. I'd recommend just buying some half-decent aftermarket 6.5 components and replacing both sides.

 

Yeaaa, maybe since I have the non-premium 6 speaker system I should just replace the whole thing in one fell swoop? I don't wanna pay 150 for the OEM replacement (quoted 294 from infiniti) and then have it suck. I was thinking I could replace it with a nice 6-channel HU that has aux in and stuff.

 

Non-premium are only four channel, they may count the tweeters as speakers, giving you "six locations" but there's just door speakers in sedans, and front door and side speakers in coupes unless you've got the bose audio system that adds woofer(s) to the rear deck.

 

the oem speakers are pathetic Clarion crap, even with BOSE system, the only thing BOSE are the muddy sounding rear 6x9's. The magnets are so tiny on the stock speakers I'm surprised they moved. My aftermarket tweeters in my Jeep have bigger magnets (not even lying). All that aside, You might as well upgrade you speakers. A great set budget speakers are the JBL GTO series 6.5 components. I have these and they fit without spacers in the front ( i put 6x9 coaxials in the back deck, unhooked the rear speakers). The tweeters arent half bad either, and you can use the oem tweeter mount plate to mount the JBL tweets so it's super easy.

 

I read up on the speakers and I figured it would be better to just start upgrading haha. Since it was blown when I got it I never really even got to hear how it sounded but I like good sounding speakers. I decided to go a little above budget and get a set of kicker component systems from crutchfield that could hypothetically extend down to 35 hz. I'll replace the rear speakers separately eventually. The kickers cost me $130 and included the mounting brackets & custom instructions so I can just take them to a local shop.

 

Bose makes the "premium" speakers and amp, clarion makes the headunit. I'm not sure who makes the tweeters, but the tweeters are the same bose and non-bose.

Panasonic makes the base audio speakers, and they actually look like quality speakers. The bose speakers look like they came out of a 1983 ford ranger.

 

Can we stop talking crap about the Bose stuff? I'm trying to sell mine, gosh!

 

oh yea, I just grabbed my speaker, it does say bose. I'm pretty sure the tweeter said clarion. I saw something that said clarion when I was ripping it all out. but yea, bose speakers= garbage.

 

Haha. Bose on the right, with its tiny little magnet.

 

What speakers are in the rear by the side arm rest. Is it 6.5 components or 6x9's?

 

6.5's they are just bolted to the metal, not even mounted inside it. Zero bass from those speakers.

 

so its worth upgrading the rear speakers to something like kickers?

 

Yea, you wouldnt really need anything spectacular back there. I do wonder if non-bose editions have the 6x9 cutouts in the sheet metal. Rear speakers sound way better bouncing off the window.

 

Not unless you've already upgraded the fronts to something really good. After that, a real sub is the way to go. You won't get substantial bass from a 6.5
