Rear speakers 4x10

[Jims442]

Are they relatively new 4X10 or old ones?

My wagon was radio delete from the factory and had an aftermarket radio put in. I tried putting new 4x10's in and the magnets are too tall and hit the inner fenders.

Curious if they are "newer" 4x10's how you got them to fit.

The 4x10's I have are by Boss They are really cheap But they fit in the original set up. I was able to put in my 6x9's last night what a difference they made.

Yeah, going from 4x10's to 6x9's is kinda along the lines of going from a 3.8 to a 5.0 🙂

I have some Kenwood 4x10's out of my car that I won't be using. I can measure them. If they will work for you, I'll be happy to ship them to you. You can have them. I didn't want to throw them away.

Edit: PM me if you want them so it doesn't get past me.

Jake,
They are aftermarket speakers that I bought from a member years back. Did you try to install them in the original factory location? I'll have to pull one out and get back to you regarding clearance of the magnets, etc.. II'm sure the original OEM speakers had shallower magnets. I don't have the old ones to compare.

Interesting.

Like i mentioned the car was factory radio delete but I didn't mention a dealer put in an aftermarket radio and speakers in when new. The speakers are in the rear panels that cover the rear wheel wells facing generally upwards. There just isn't enough room between the panel and the wheel well to fit a normal "new" 4X10. The aftermarket dealer installed 1980 speaker is on the left side, new normal one on the right.

Speaker grills are the black things in the wheel well bumps. Are they even in the right spot?

Wow! That's a significant difference between the two speakers. I see what you mean about the one on the right being a deeper/taller unit.
Whoever installed the speakers initially, did place them correctly over the wheelhouse.
I suppose if they weren't so tall, you might even have been able to dent in the area slightly where the magnets would make contact.

Your other option would be to enclose them, or a pair of round 6.5" speakers in the rear side compartments.
Incorporating spacers under the speakers would look funky....but not in a good way.
