Help selecting rear speakers - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hi all,

I am having an issue with the rear speakers rattling. Dealer says its "normal" but there is no way its normal, I'm guessing either a blown speaker or a need for dynamat is what the issue is. Because its only the passenger side speaker that produces the vibration I am worried the speaker might be blown. After reading on here exactly what is required to get at the speakers for dynamat I have come to the conclusion I only want to have to do this once. So, i am going to dynamat the rear lid but would also like to replace the rear speakers at the same time with something that is not likely to blow with the stock headunit/amp. I have no plans to replace the head unit or amp in the future. What are some recommendations for speakers to put in? I am going to be placing an order with ******** later today for the MDF 6x9 brackets, do i need anything else like some kind of adapter for the rear BA speakers to hook up to the normal speaker connections like ******** has for the fronts?

Any help you audiophiles can offer would be awesome!

I would get the whole ******** amp replacement kit while your at it. The factory amp ic complete crap. I'm pretty sure that Steve@ ******** has an adapter for the rears or lets you know which wire to use for the replacement rears coming off his harness.

these are amazing for the price ... though you might need to look for an amp for them.

I'm having the same issue, it's the speaker. If you touch the paper while its playing the rattle stops.
