I have a 1999 dodge intrepid es/se? and blew each one of my speakers one by one except the rear driver side speaker. I called the dealer and they want too much money. they said I have a 7 speaker system. The money they want is way two expensive. And all they can tell me is the part numbers and the size. I was told by a friend to ask for the watts and ohms of the speakers, and they couldn't tell me this. I don't care about my car bumping with sound, I just want my speakers to work like they should. I am looking for the cheapest easiest way to go about my problem, and not have to re-wire anything. It looks like I need front door 6.5" speakers and rear 6x9's. These are infinity speakers that I was told run on a factory amp that I cant find the specs for at all. Can you please help me.

Please respond to my personal email address at mfleis1@yahoo.com

The other 3 speakers in your system are 2.5 inch speakers, and that's not a standard size. Your only two options are to get Dodge factory speakers, either from your dealer or a junkyard, or make a custom bracket and put in 1 inch tweeters or something.

 

Thanks SexyinTrepid,

Ok I just took a gamble and replaced my front door 6.5's yesterday. i needed a converter to attatch the speakers and fabricated the bracket to fit the spot. It was a lot easier than i anticipated, and to my suprise they sound great. Now that I replaced the Fronts I noticed the Tweeters are not blown, but I was thinking of thinking to replace them later. Will the sound be better with 1.5's? Also the next thing I will do is replace the 6x9's, hopefully tonight or tomorrow, but I haven't even looked at how to take them out yet. Would you happen to know this so that I don't break nothing. I was thinking of pulling down the rear back seats instead of going through the trunk, is this right?.

 

From the service manual:

This part sounds more complicated than I think it should be. My intrepid has the 60/40 folding rear seat, so I would assume that if your case is the same, you could skip step 1. In any case, let us know how it goes!

 

SexyIntrepid,

thanks for your reply, it will prove most helpfull. I'm a bit confused on what each description is such as: rear shelf trim panel, quarter trim lower and upper trim panel, center seat belt anchor bolt(what does this do when I remove it), CHMSL wire. These things I just don't know what they are. Also when I looked behind the back seats, I noticed these metal clips, do I just prye them up to remove them?

thanks,

Mark

 

I forgot to post the picture that was in the service manual when I made that last post, oops! Maybe it'll help some...
