My 99 Celica Convertiable 8 inch speaker is blown. Does anyone know of a good 8" Mid bass driver that I can use. Current audio setup is just stock. Once I replace the 8 inch speaker I might as well change the rest. Anyone know the size of the stock front speakers?

If you've got premium sound (8 speaker set-up) then its the 8" in the door and a 4" above that with the tweeters near the side mirrors. I don't remember the rear size. |

Cool, finding a good 4 inch shouldn't be a problem. What about the 8inch speaker? On my alltrac I got the Kicker SSMB8, but I am unable to find a mid bass driver for the 99 Celica. Kicker doesn't make the SSMB8 anymore, so what would be a good replacement for a 8" mid-base driver?

The speaker is actually a 6.5" speaker in an 8" bracket. There is actually a debate in a recent thread about whether those speakers in the 8 speaker system are subs or mids, would be nice to get a final definite answer if you can help

I'm running a set of Focal 210 CA1 -- woven glass cone, and a sealed rear magnet make for great full-range sound and endurance in the less-than-optimal conditions inside the doors.

MW170 - Dynaudio 170mm Midrange/Midbass Speaker Is this the speaker that you got? If so, how is it running with the stock amp? I have the three way setup. It's not on the stock amp it's running on an ARC amplifier. And if you notice the price that's per speaker not for the pair. They sell them individually to be able to buy if one blows. |

^^^ at 200 a pop, it better sound good!!! http://www.amazon.com/MW170-Dynaudio-Midra...r/dp/B004IWLC4Y My 3Way setup goes for over 1K. They sound awesome but their for SQ and life like reproduction. 200 hour break in time which is crazy. Not trying to sell you on getting dynaudio because I have just telling you that you can make the 8" work in the doors. |

Have to have a lot of watts running to this setup. Can't hook it up to a stereo or a small 2 channel amp and expect results. I would say go with the JL 8" middrives for what you want should be a very good sounding speaker and not kill the bank like the dyns.

i went to crutchfield and they have pics of a 99 celica gt convertible. but the speaker options come in 5.25" and 6.5". custom mounting is the only way it seems.
