how many speakers does the 2005 gs430 have? and where are they located and their sizes please? im planning to get one and i wanna know how much i need for a new system

 

All four doors have 4" speakers and rear deck panel has a 10" sub

 

and lets not forget about the 2 tweeters in their pillars up in the front.

 

and the center speaker on the dash

 

thought ONLY the nav equipped and ML equipped gs's had the speaker on the dash...i have one....but i have both those and NEVER seen it in one that doesnt

 

Goto crutchfield.com they have a fitment guide.

 

Yep, the center speaker is for the navigation voice. I have one but since there is no navigation disc for Hawaii, I was thinking if turning it into a center channel speaker for a 5.1 DD system.

 

In my 02 the lady speaks from my drivers door and the center speaker is for the ML system.

 

Hmm, you must be right then. I can't hear anything from the center speaker, and since my navigation has no nav disk it seems to be always silent, thus I thought it was for the nav. What is odd is I'm pretty sure I've seen ML systems without the center speaker since Hawaii never had the nav option, but we did have the ML option (Mine came from the mainland thus I have the nav option). Anyway, you should know more than I since mine doesn't fully work.

 

this wont take into account for the top of the dash speaker some of us have with the NAV and ML


in my 2001 the lady speaks from my drivers TWEETER and when i bought my car the center speaker was unplugged (i plugged it up and it was blown so i wired in one of my diamond d6's but it sounded like crap since the component crossovers sets weren't hooked up, i disconnected it again until i hook up my components)

i just thought it was a added speaker for the ML system and BTW ne1 ever price the speaker for this....HAHAHAHA LIKE 300+

 

I finally heard my center speaker today. Turned the volume up a bit and put my ear near the center vent area by the center speaker and heard nothing. I had to put my ear pretty much on the speaker and then I could hear it I guess mine does work after all.

 

WRONG. Front doors have 6 1/2.

 

Not according to Crutchfield.com or this link in the DYI section

Speaker replacement 4 inch.

I know that you can may 6.5 fit with a little modification.

 

To clarify. Stock size is 4''. But with adapters you can fit 6 1/2. Max depth of speaker can only be 3''.

 

least u know it does work

u r wrong sir. ALL gs have 4" speakers but can have adaptors to hold 6 1/2 speakers
