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?

Dunno if this fits, but here's an example. Also check out the "speakers" section.

http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.c...number=292-2592

As a bit of extra knowledge: when looking at the specs, try to find something that has 4 ohms impedance and a Qts of about .707



Like these: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.c...tnumber=290-356

=====

These are actually PERFECT speakers for what you need them: Qts of .70, 3.5mm xmax, 4ohm impedance... only issue might be the mounting depth but if you can make them fit they will definitely sound good.

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 smile.gif

I have the dynaudio three way setup in my car. But the JL would be good.

MW170 - Dynaudio 170mm Midrange/Midbass Speaker

Is this the speaker that you got? If so, how is it running with the stock amp?

- Agreed, inquiring minds want to know

I would stick with JBL ... they make some nice 8" 2-ways and 8" woofers ... either way you want to go. Soundstream, Infinity, Harman Kardon (JBL, Infinity and Harman Kardon are all made by Harman), MB Quart ... higher end Pioneer, higher end Polk Audio, Massive Audio.

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.

I've got factory 8in speakers in my front doors. All my other celica's had 6.5's but this car is the premium sound with the two amps etc.

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.

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.

Thanks for the info, have the GW208-4's on order, I have been looking for a reasonably priced replacement since my OEM's foam dry rotted out.  - about five years ago, and I didn't want to have rebuild the audio system since it was great to begin with.

Meh since someone already bumped this old thread...

I have a 99 GT with the regular 4 speakers n two tweeters.

What's considered an equivalent system that will replace all speakers and sound like that of an 2003 Avalon XL trim.

im not trying to install any subs either. .

thanks

How are the GW208-4s? Was there enough room in the vert for them? Sound good? Considering getting this since I ripped out my stock 8s because they were torn to oblivion.
