Hi all

Im just doing a search on where we can buy 5x7 speakers in australia. Hardly anyone over here stocks them.

If anyone would like to supply the names of stockists please fee free to add them to this thread

Where are ya?

Forget the generic car parts places, go to a profesional auto sound shop. Yeah they won't be the cheapest speakers but you don't want the cheapest coz they sound crap.

dude if you have the sp20, just get 6.5" splits and make brackets.

you'll have no problem with getting those speakers i'm sure ;)

it'll be worth the effort in making the brackets. that's what i did with my 20.

strathfield dont always stock 5x7, well at least the one in parramatta didnt.
I was hoping if we could get a list in here.

Me thinks there are many other car owners (of different models), that are in the same situation. Having to use 6.5' instead. In most cases 6.5' are cheaper anyway.

Strathfield are one of the sausage factorys of car audio, they stock what sells the quickest, that's how they make their money. Even Peninsula Auto Sound (where I bought my set-up) don't stock much in the way of 5X7, the $200 Bostons would've been good but were not in stock. I'm more than happy with the $250 Eclipse. When I get some cash I hope to get the same quality for the 6X9 in the rear.

Try the Lifestyle Store in Parramatta. They had some Boston Acoustic 5x7s last time I checked. Also try Doran Pro Audio in Bankstown and Ryda Car Audio in the city.

Whereabouts in Sydney are you located?

There's also a Cadence 5x7 drop in pairing (4" driver and split tweeter mounted on adapter plate)

I'd love a list of 5x7s availabel in Australia so I can start thinking about upgrading the speakers in Bruce ;)
