Which speaker sizes fit?
Hey, I just got a '90 240 and after much frustration I rewired the wiring harness that the previous owner hacked to death to get my Kenwood KDC-519 in there. Anyway, I turned on the system and not suprisingly it had some of the ****tiest speakers I've ever heard. I took the door panels off and found a set of DEI Studio (seriously old school) aftermarket component speaker setups in there. I was wondering what size speakers can possibly fit in there to replace em. I've got some 6" JL TR600-CXs in my Honda that i'm thinking of swapping in there if they'll fit. But other then getting more components to fill the hole I was wondering if like some 4x6s or 5x7s would fit in there. If anyone could help thatd be great.

The 6" will need work. Other than that, go for it.

I had those same Pioneers in my old 240. Pretty damn good considering I got all 4 for $75, but I know what you mean they don't do low frequencies too well. The Alpine 4x6's I have now though, do pretty good with bass.

4X6 is a ba speaker size
it sucks how 240's come with that plastice mount for 4x6 speakers, i just removed it and used a piece of would cut to the same size as the platice thing and mounted 6 1/2 bostons up front, they can produce noice that not even the highest end 4x6 could. I have 6X9's and 2 12's my system is one of the best i ever heard because i have great high in the front, great high's and mids from the 6X9's and great bass from my subs. Do not just buy what speaker will fit in a stock 240, becuase our cars are so easily costomized that any speaker size could fit anywhere in this car. I have my 6x9's mounted in the cieling right above the back seet. THe angle of the ceeling points them forward a little and the sound is amazing. think outside the box.
