2013 TC front door speaker size.


Recommended Posts

Hi there guys!

First, I want to thank you for the wealth of info that you share, it helps a lot.

Now, my dilemma: I have a 2013 TC XL cargo van and I want new speakers for the front. Crutchfield says 5 1/4 and amazon gives me 6.5 (not that i mind, the ones that I want are 6.5, Infinity reference 6030cs).

I could return them, but maybe you can help.

Anyone know for sure? could I fit 6.5 if I wanted (would I have to cut, speakers off center, etc?)

Thanks in advance.

You would have to cut the sheet metal. The speakers are already off center in OEM locations so you'll be off even more. Bigger speakers make a big difference in TC doors. I reverted to OEM size from 5x7 and have regretted since, even with an amp it loses the punch, it just comes down to physics.The only thing you have to check if the magnet fits.

Make sure you insulate the doors while you have them opened up. Again, big difference.

Now: get an amp (speaker level inputs, 2 channels)

For all those interested, the speakers are 100% 5 1/4", no matter what Amazon says.

I got some 6.5 components and dynamat and will attempt the install soon.

Also, the stereo comes out via some screws and bolts, no special removal keys needed.

Will keep you posted.
