Speakers

If your 240sx is Still equipped with factory speakers, it is highly recommended that you replace them. Even on a well kept, low mileage vehicle the foam surrounds are likely rotted beyond repair simply due to age (this was even apparent on a well kept low mileage S14 Kouki). Complete speaker replacement will benefit audio quality more than any other Stereo upgrade

Speaker Sizes:

S13 Front (Door): 4″x6″*, 2″ depth
S13 Rear (Hatch, Side Panel): 4″x6″*, 2.5″ depth
S13 Rear (coupe, Deck Lid): 6.5″**, 2.8″ depth
S13 Rear (Convertible, side panel): 6.5″, 3″ depth

S14 Front (Door): 6.75″ (aka oversized 6.5″), 2.8″ depth
S14 Front (A-Pillar): 3/4″, with 1/2″ depth (non-standard mounting)***
S14 Rear (Deck Lid): 6.75″ (aka oversized 6.5″)**, 2.8″ depth

• Any speaker can be replaced with one that is smaller using any number of generic adapters
• Extra depth can be obtained with a spacer, however this shrinks the space between the speaker face and the grill

*Note: The 4×6″ speakers can be replaced with 6.5″ speakers using adapter from MJM Auto Innovations. These adapter plates replace the factory speaker mounts and plastic “bucket”**

**Note: This speaker configuration leave the back side of the speaker open to air. It’s recommended that you buy a generic acoustic foam baffle to improve the sound reproduction. In areas such as doors where the factory mount and acoustic bucket has been removed this will also protect your speaker from water and dirt that finds its way into this area. XTC makes a number of acoustic foam baffles in various sizes.

***Note: The factory tweeters use a non-standard mounting configuration, this means that aftermarket tweeters will not bolt in to the stock location. Similarly there is no factory stand-alone cross over network; the tweeter wiring is simply split from the main front drivers somewhere on the harness, The tweeter wiring is not-accessible while the dashboard is installed in the car.

If replacing the tweeters with component speaker system you will be required to develop a custom mounting solution as well as run new speaker wire to the tweeters from the aftermarket cross-over network. If working with a car that was originally equipped with a trunk-mounted external amp there is ample room to mount the cross-over networks on the rear dech lid and splice into the factory wiring here; running fresh speaker wire to the front of the car for the tweeters. For cars with out an external amp there is ample room behind the door cards for mounting the cross over network.
