I was looking for a budget pair of speakers and tried Crutchfield. They do not carry a 6.5" direct replacement speaker that can be installed into my '91 Miata using the same holes, etc. Therefore, I ordered a 5.25" pair and they are shipping a mounting bracket that will go into the Miata speaker cavity and then I can screw the speakers into the bracket. Atleast this is how I think it works.
Couple of questions:
(1) Am I going to lose performance by dropping to a 5.25" speaker, even though its a dozen years newer in design from the original 6.25" speakers?
(2) Has any one had experience using Crutchfield's Miata mounting kit and is it really easy to do?
