Where are the 9 speakers?

safos · 09-10-2006, 10:49 PM

Have the EL Fairmont Ghia, with the premium sound.
I am looking to upgrade my system with aftermarket stuff but want to utilise my factory speaker positions as much as possible.
I can find only 5 of the 9 speakers i supposedly have (Sub, 2 on parcel shelf, 2 in front doors), can anyone enlighten me as to where the other 4 speakers are?

also what would you recommend to get, don't want to spend bucket loads.

safos · 09-10-2006, 10:56 PM

inside the dash?
where are we talking, top? bottom? any idea on size?

havoc19 · 09-10-2006, 10:57 PM

yeh im pretty sure theres 2 in the dash as for sub i thought only the ltds came with them? ive looked for my 8 aswell i can find 4 possibly 6 lol try the manual for it that might also reveal the answer.

Get one of these questions every month..

OK here we go again.. LOL..

2 Tweeters in the dash
2 mid/bass in doors
2 2way in parcel shelf
1 sub

Now Ford decided they would get technical and call a 2 way speaker 2 speakers.. tricks people all the time.. LOL..

SO...

2 Tweeters + 2 mid/bass + 2 tweeter in 2way + 2 mid/bass in 2way + 1 sub = 9

Hope this helps guys..

Cheers,
Nik

havoc19, i definately got the sub, its mounted in the parcel shelf

safos · 09-10-2006, 11:03 PM

Thanks ROOSTA.
are all tweeters the same size, and how would i get to them.
I would be looking to install the system myself so want to make sure i know what i need/want before i go spending any moola

ROOSTA · 09-10-2006, 11:07 PM

No tweeters aren't all the same size.. best to rip the old ones out and get one similar size.. i dunno bout EL's but on the EA-ED there is a panel up below windscreen with 2 rouns air vent looking doovas.. they house the tweeters.. use a hex bit to undo the 2 screws holding the panel on and there is 3 - 5 clips holding it on.. just keep jiggling it till it comes loose.. tweeters are mounted on there own bracket..

See how ya go..

Cheers,
Nik

Define bucketloads? Need some sort of range of $$$ you want to spend

safos · 10-10-2006, 08:11 PM

i was thinking the 1500 range.
possibly: Alpine CDA-9857 HU
12" sub
4ch amp to run front speakers and sub

safos · 12-10-2006, 11:18 PM

Well i decided to take advantage of the nice weather and went down to jb hi-fi today.
ended up bringing home an alpine cda-9857 Head unit, Type-S Splits, 12" Sub and 4 channel V series amp. all alpine system.

with your premium sound system can you tell me the part number on the bottom of the speakers in the parcel shelf. do you have a pic of them . i have the same system however i am trying to put it back in the car but im not sure which speakers are for the front and which are for the back as they are diferent. what colour is the clip for the wiring... is it a black clip or a white one (for the parcel shelf rear speakers) what colour clip is on the speaker too.

sorry i've had the system out for a while now.
however, the rear speakers are 2way and the front speakers are not.
front has the 2 speakers (tweeters) under dash and 2 in the doors
rear has the 2 2way and sub in the parcel shelf.

One must be careful when distinguishing the term 'speakers' with 'speaker elements'.
