Default Infinity Speaker Problems!!

Hey All,
I have a 2000 Durango SLT 5.9l and the speaker has blown.. its one of the Infinity systems with the pre amp. I replaced the blow rear speaker with a cheapy one just to get rid of the snappinng but as you all know with the infinity system its replace it with an OEM speaker or replace teh whole system.

I looked at other speakers but I would just like to put in an OEM speaker back in. I have checked ebay and craigslist and all that but no luck.

I am hopeing someone here can help me out. Maybe you still have your old set of stock speakers in your garage or your buddy does. I only need the rear drivers side. If your being super nice both rear would be killer!

If you have a set and can help me out I have some money to pay I just dont have the 153 the freakin dealers wants!! Ill check the PN on it and repost.

Thank you all much

OK I have the part number from the back of the speaker.

56043065AD

Crysler Infinity

6594
36670

Its a 6.5 Inch speaker. If noone has a stock they pulled out that they can part with, maybe one of you know a compatible speaker that will work as good as the stock that isnt 153 bucks!

Thank you much

Hey all,
I spent the last how ever long reading thru one by one cause for some reason the search doenst work.. anyway, I found a killer post about a 2000 rango RT that had teh same problem.

Im hoping someone can for sure say the following is true:

Infinity 6012's will work for the 2000 rango rears as replacment speakers for the OEM. If so Ill hit ebay and find a set...

thank you all

Ok here is the post I found to be very helpful..

https://dodgeforum.com/m_280962/mpage_2/key_/tm.htm

I have found a set on ebay... I sure hope these work right..

You are bidding on a BRAND NEW set of Infinity Reference Series 6002si six and a half (6 1/2) inch shallow-mount two-way car audio speakers. These speakers are new in their original box and have never been opened or used.

Specifications:

Plus One + woofer cone
Edge-driven, textile-dome tweeter
Intermount III mounting system

Power handling = 50W RMS
Sensitivity (2.83V/1m) = 92dB
Frequency response = 58Hz-21kHz
Impedance = 4 ohms

here is the link I posted concerning speaker replacement for Durangos. It's a long post so read it to the end to know the whole scoop.

https://dodgeforum.com/m_280962/tm.htm

within that post check out these two sites:

Okay, I have found a website that sells nothing but special speaker adapters that let you mount aftermarket speakers to OEM mounting brackets or hole locations.

http://www.mjmautoinnovations.com/sakc65t65.htm

Also, here is a website that shows you how to replace the oem's with aftermarket speakers on a 2000 Durango.

http://www.craigcentral.com/durango/speakers.asp

To make a note on that website, they said 4 screws as Digitoxin said. However, on my 2000 Durango, there were "5" screws, not 4. If you look at the 4 screw locations marked on the website, the 5th screw not shown in the picture is located very near the power side mirror adjustment ****. This is the same for the passenger door where there is no power side mirror adjustment ****.



I found another website that you can actually repair the speakers if only the polyeuthane surround foam is blown. I would have gone this route if I known earlier that I can repair the surround foam material. I still have my OEM infinity's sitting on my shelf in the garage, I am going to go to that website and buy the replacement foam repair kit to repair my oem infinitys in case I want to take out my nice infinitys and put them in another car!!!!

I HAVE A 200 DURANGO WITH THE INFITY SYSTEM, I BOUGHT IT USED AND AFTER THE FIRST MONTH TWO OF THE SPEAKERS WERE BUSTED. ONE FROM THE BACK AND ONE FROM THE REAR. I REPLACED THEM WITH TWO SETS OF JENSEN'S MODEL # JPS365 6 1/2 IN SPEKERS. THEY SOUND GREAT FOR $39.99 A PAIR!! I EVEN THINK THE ARE BETTER THAN ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT. THE ONLY THING IS THAT YOU HAVE TO CUT THE ORIGINAL CONNECTORS AND HAVE TO DRILL THEM IN TO THE PLASTIC BRACKETS THE OEM'S ARE IN. HOOD LUCK.

You should check out this website. They make custom fit spacers to mount your aftermarket speakers to the OEM brackets. predrilled and everything. Comes with the screws, sealant foam, everything. I bought this kit to mount my Infinity 6012's. No modifications or alterations needed on the OEM hardware. I also bought some wire splicers so I do not have to cut off the OEM speaker plugs.

http://www.mjmautoinnovations.com/sakc65t65.htm

I am waiting for my surround foam kit from this site so I can repair my OEM infinity speakers to remount them back in my Durango if I need my aftermarket infinities on another car.

I think the cost is like $25-$35 bucks for a pair of replacement surround foam.

I just purchased a pair of Infinity 6012si for the rear as I had a blown right rear. The fit great and came with the adapters..... The install was easy. But they do not produce nearly as much bass as the stock speakers did. Does nayone know why or what I can do to resolve the now lacking bass.
