1. Remove the Speaker Grille:
- Pry off the speaker grille. It may be held in place by clips or screws. Be cautious not to damage the grille.
2. Locate the Speaker:
- Once the grille is removed, you'll see the speaker assembly. The speaker cone is the circular part that moves back and forth to produce sound.
3. Measure the Speaker Cone:
- Use a measuring tape or ruler to measure the diameter of the speaker cone. Measure the distance across the widest part of the cone.
- The measurement you obtain is the speaker's size.
4. Alternative Measurement:
- If the speaker cone is not easily accessible or visible, you can also measure the speaker frame.
- The speaker frame is the circular or square metal structure that holds the speaker in place.
- Measure the outer diameter of the speaker frame for a close approximation of the speaker size.
Common car speaker sizes include 6.5 inches, 6x9 inches, 5.25 inches, and 4 inches.
Additional Notes:
- Some speakers may have dual-size specifications. For example, a speaker might be labeled as "6.5/6.75 inches." This means the speaker can fit in both a 6.5-inch and 6.75-inch speaker location.
- You can also find speakers with odd sizes like 4x6 inches, 5x7 inches, or 5.25 inches.
Always refer to the vehicle's owner's manual or consult with a professional car audio installer to ensure the specific speaker size that fits your vehicle.
