Default Front speaker enclosures

Does anyone know the inside volume of the front speaker enclosures?

While I'm at it I might as well ask about the rear soundbar as well!

speaker effectiveness??? you mean response and efficiency! most if not ALL speakers are suited for a IB set up. there response will be recorded in IB application. rarely if never do speaker manufactures give a net volume required.

Jay, are you French..? Gilli, the fronts are pretty small (say around .2 maybe). I think I know where you're going with this but unless you glass the inside, its probably not worth worrying about. I just filled the fronts and the soundbar with some poly and a little dynamat to reduce the vibrations and it worked pretty decent. Just my 2 pennies worth of info.

Dash: 6-3/4"
Roll Bar: 6-3/4"

The fronts are pretty deep. You can get away with using pretty much any 6.5". I would throw a small amount of poly fill in there and drop in your new woofers.

Roll bar is shallow. So you would be better off using a 'slim' speaker for that. I would use crutchfields "outfit my Car" as a reference and shop around for those particular speakers. I have Polk Audio db6501 for the fronts and db651s for the roll bar. They are pretty f-ing loud.

I measured mine a couple months ago, because I wanted to try porting them but decided it looked damned near impossible.....

Going from memory this is what I recall the dimensions of the enclosure being.

In U.S. "inches"

L=6 3/4"
W= 6 3/4"
D=8"

For the Depth, the bottom length is actually slight longer than the top. So it was actually closer to being something like this for the Depth dimensions.

D(Top) 6 3/4"
D(Bottom) 8"

These measurements probably aren't exact...if you need the exact dimensions. That enclosure is not a square or rectangular shape.
