Grumpy Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 The four larger speakers sound like crap in my daughter's Pathfinder. I went to Crutchfield to find out what size they are, and Crutchfield says they don't sell speakers to fit this vehicle. That's a first for me. Before I go out and plunk down some dough on the wrong speakers, what sizes do I need? One web site reports one set of 5 X 7s and one set of 4 x6s Also, will the front door speaker panels pop off with just a panel tool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sw Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 yup & no 5x7 you remove the whole door trim to get to the speaker, the grill is part of trim, well it is on mine anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
statikuz Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Yep, that's the way it is with mine too. The speakers were 5x7's, but mine needed JUST a little bit of trimming to get them to fit right. Check first. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Yep. I have a set of the carbon-fiber Infinity speakers from a Pathy SE in my Chevy van, they sound GREAT. They're 5x7's. The door panel comes off pretty easy, but the clip around the inside doorhandle is a PITA...it snaps on around the handle, just gotta prise it off carefully with a wide screwdriver or appropriate prying tool.

statikuz Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Yeah, I hear ya... Infinity is the shiznizzle. =) I have two sets of these in my Pathy: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-jU22qKxma95/c...1&avf=N&search= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbreitwieser Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 infinity 6802 is what i have in both the front and rear of my pathy, some mods to make them fit, but well worth it... if you have questions about how, email me at kbreitwieser@netscape.net Good luck....

Guest finding_a_path Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 I just did my fronts today. I actually stuffed 6x8s in the factory location. It took about 2 hours to install them though! I had to mutilate the factory plastic bracket I say stick to the 5x7 or 4x6 to make life simpler. My speakers were 2 7/16" deep, and clear the window barely. That is with the factory bracket cut out in the back. For mine, driver side wire colors were: Yel/Black(-), Green(+). Pass side: black(-), black/white(+) Definitely use a panel puller to get the panels off. The panels are made of a week fiber board, so it will break easily. Instructions for the door panel removal are: 1) Unscrew the plastic lock knob. 2) remove small plastic cap in armrest. 3) Remove #3 screw in armrest. 4) Slide armrest towards rear of car... lift and remove. 5) Remove 2 more #3 screws holding panel on. 6) Pop door handle trim off. 7) Use panel puller to remove clips (10 or so) 8) Lift the panel out of the window sill. hope that helps! :type: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheel366 Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 These are the ones I just found on crutchfield. Any ideas which ones to go with? http://www.crutchfield.com/S-GjXzg25nGnS/c...&fit=M&size=5X7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
statikuz Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 At $200 for any of them, I'd get the Infinitys, both because I'm partial to Infinity stuff [have some of their speakers and love 'em], and because if you decide on 5x7s front and back, you can get another set for $100 instead of another $200. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NissanPerson Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 I'm glad you broke your handle too, I thought maybe I was an idiot or something. Luckily there's nothing a couple dots of glue and a couple small screws can't fix! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhost Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 What do you guys do with the small column speakers on the front driver and passenger side when replacing the door speakers? My small speakers both seem basically dead, but they don't show up on crutchfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on what has happened with the audio system in your truck, the tweeters may not work. The factory stereo did not have an amp. The amp was separate, and had a built in cross over for the tweeters. If that amp was bypassed for an aftermarket stereo install, the tweeters wont work.

Turned out the amp wasn't bypassed when new head unit was installed and that was the issue: amp was garbage. I bypassed the amp and now one of the tweeters is great! other is blown. Going to get a set of component speakers and replace the column and door speakers up front 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
