Just do a google search for 4 inch 4 ohm car speakers.
IMO, I would not spend over $30 a pr. You should be able to get factory replacement ones for about $12 a pr.

If you have a aftermarket radio in your car IMO just leave the out.
After i replaced my factory radio 8 years ago in my Z28 I just pulled them out . And I've never regreted it .

Or better yet - search these forums. Sail panel speakers are one of the most discussed topics.

EDIT: Not sure how poster above things you'll find these new factory at $12 a pair....and I don't understand why an aftermarket HU is reason to leave them out. What logic in saying "I have an aftermarket HU, so I should just leave factory speakers disconnected."

I think 99BluZ28 was thinking of the hatch speakers ("4 inch 4 ohm") rather than the sail panel subs the OP asked about.

I have a new shipment of the replacement Bazookas coming in Tuesday. These are DVC replacement woofers that work very well with the stock Monsoon system sail panel woofers that came in the Firebirds.

LOL!.....

My Bad, for some reason I was thinking of the rear hatch speakers

6.5 2 way components in the doors, 6.5 2 ways in the sail panels and 4 inch 2 ways or 2 way components in the hatch. I went with Infinity Referance and all just bolted in with no modification. Be careful in the hatch as the factory speakers are rivited in. Just drill the head off the rivits and your good.

That's odd...I've never seen them rivited in place (in any car). Somebody must have done a repair job before you - even the service manual says to remove the speaker bolts and the bolts are listed in the parts manual.

No they are riveted in the hatch. Ive done 3 pairs. I found it odd too tho.

WhiteBird00

Yes, they are riveted in the hatch but not in the sail panels. I should have said I've never seen any full size speakers mounted with rivets.

fredmr39

I believe he said hatch speakers specifically.. not sails

Can you PM me with details and pricing?

Only the hatch speakers were rivited in place. The front and sail panel speakers were all bolted in place

Follow this suggestion - I just picked up a pair and installed them. Much, much better than stock - easy install - and inexpensive. What more could you want?

Yes they are. I believe the hole pattern is a little different but they fit in the stock opening and are DVC just like the stock subs. They have a much bigger magnet, thicker treated foam surround, and a nice stiff cone structure. Definete improvement over stock. Priced at $119.00 for a pair shipped and available on my website in the wrong section...lol. They are in the midbass drivers section. I will be fixing that soon. They are subwoofers though.

A 12" subwoofer in a stealthbox... And $119 for a pair of 6.5" subwoofers is not a good deal comparatively when you can get $30 10" subs that'll do a better job. Add that to the cost of a stealthbox and you're not that much above $119. It'll take some wire rerouting, but it can be done.

For the record factory replacements that will blow out again and are made of the same materials as before are $99.45 for the pair. The eD 7Kv.2 subwoofers are $130.00 + shipping for a pair. Mine are priced at $119.00 shipped for the pair. So I think my pricing for 1 only 3 made DVC 6.5" subs is quite reasonable.
I understand what your saying as far as a larger sub making more bass but alot of the guys buying these are not looking for that kind of bass performance.
With a stealth box you have more to purchase as well. $30.00 for the sub. $70.00- $100.00 for an enclosure. $100.00+ for an amp, $25.00 for a wiring kit. Obviously this is a rough estimate and bass output would be more than a 6.5" sub but I still think you'd give up a certain amount of sound quality with a $30.00 subwoofer.

...plus MDF and fabrication time. The eD subs sound great and I'm very happy with them but, if I had it to do over, I would give serious consideration to using the Bazooka subs.
