99 Chrysler LHS - Infinity I System

Hi guys-

I have a 99 LHS with the infinity I sound system. The two 2.5 inch
coaxial speakers in the lower corners of the front door windows are in
need of replacement. The problem is I cannot locate a pair of 2.5 inch
speakers anywhere. Is there anywhere to search other than the
dealership? I tried looking at crutchfield, but had no luck. They are
suggesting using 3.5 inch speakers in that spot, which I do not think
will fit.

Has anyone replaced these in the past and have tips? Where to purchase
the speakers, and how to remove the covers?

Thanks,
Bob

 

My sebring had those in the dash. I ended up taking the midrange speakers
from a pair of 6x9 pioneers and removing the capacitor to make it a full
range speaker. The size was a little over 2.5 inches but a tiny bit of
grinding on opposite edges and they were able to be hotglued into the
factory grilles. Beats the hell out of the $200 the dealer wanted and they
sound better. 3.5's will definietly not fit at all.

 

There's been discussion ad infinitum on the 300M Club forums:

- do a search there for every possible option available.
