OK so I've heard both 5.7 an 6.8 will work in an 01 bullitt. I'm redoing door speakers an found a nice set of kicker 6.8 and I just want to know if any body else has replaced them an will they drop right in.

I just replaced all my mach with aftermarket speakers..i went with polk audio 5x8 in the door and rear.. sounds amazing and havent even hook them up to amp yet. Super easy install also

Your combo should be fine!

So the 6.8s will be fine? Did you not hook your polls up to the amp because it will mess up the amp?. I've heard that before.

I took all my 460 stuff out. Im not useing the 460 amp i got a aftermarker amp for mids and highs ran all new wire. I also got a amp for my two 12inch alpine comp type r's. All the 460 speakers sounded crappy im guessing blown so i put in the new and sounds amazing!!!

I believe the 6x8 and the 5x8 are the same in size...well thats what i was told dont qoute me on it. Lol i went with 5x8 bc i got good deal on them.

Thank you that was helpful. It said current speakers are 5.5s but it also said that Mach 460 has a deeper mounting depth an it had 6.8 in parenthesis so I'm guessing they'll fit. From my understanding there's 4 speakers on back deck 2 woofers an 2 highs 2.5 I believe. Then doors have just 1 5.5? With the same highs in the top corner. 3 amps right? 1 up front an 2 out back

U will be fine with the 6x8 theres plenty of room.

Blown 40th 4.6

Yes u are correct..im not sure about a amp up front tho...not saying there isnt but dont recall...are u leaving the amp rack? I took mine out and freed up a ton of room.

That's just what I read in the link. It said the amp was behind the headunit. What do you mean about taking the amp rack out? To install speakers easier or for good?

Blown 40th 4.6

I took the amp rack out and mounted 5x8 in rear..the reason for taking the amp rack down is bc i wasnt gonna use the amp rack/ sub box or whatever u want to call it bc it made more room for my box to fit for my 2 12's

Doors will fit 6x8 fine. If you hook them up to the stock head unit you will run into problems since the factory woofers are fed lows only. I personally would just get a new head unit, then you can connect the 6x8s to the tweeter leads, which would be powered by the head unit. Not sure how it is on the '01, but on mine the tweeter amp is build into the factory head unit, and the woofer amps are in the back under the rack.

If you want to do it right, just rip all the mach stuff out, get a nice HU, some nice components for up front, a pair of 6x8s for the rear, a couple amps, and some subs, and you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner.

Amen!!! Lol

I thought the Mach sounded good stock but dang if y'all saw that much better sound...rip the whole thing out huh. How bout speakers matched to the right rms an ohms an save about 700 bucks? I'm married with a newborn lol so I'm on a tiiight budget
