Silver Member Username: CharlesbhsDallas, Tx USA Post Number: 553 Registered: Jan-07 | oh no i think they might be 6X8's but not sure.. |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 9136 Registered: Jun-04 | if its the 2000 Mercury Sable gs sedan then crutchfield says 6x8's all the way around |

Gold Member Username: MgbcsLincoln, Nebraska Post Number: 2465 Registered: Dec-06 | That's the identical car to what I own. So what do you want to know  They are 6x8s all around. Also, it is not a bad car to make sound pretty good. However, you have to be VERY careful how big you make the box because the trunk openings are terrible. Huge trunk, small openings FTL. Also, the trunk rattles like a mofo if you don't deaden it. Anything else you want to know about it? Oh, is it the electronic climate control? Because, if it it, you won't be able to get a HU for it without doing a custom install. Again, pretty sad. |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 9138 Registered: Jun-04 | if your worried about the climate controls theirs a solution for that...their may be some place cheaper to get it but heres crutchfields link http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?search=2000+mercury+sable&i=142FD1380B ...and I know just the sub Scotts thinking of and its well worth what hes charging |

Gold Member Username: MgbcsLincoln, Nebraska Post Number: 2466 Registered: Dec-06 | No, Sean that won't work if it's the electronic climate control like mine. Those are for manual climate control. So far as I know, other than adding another HU in the glove box or something along those lines, there is nothing to do with it other than ad a LOC. |
|
Silver Member Username: CharlesbhsDallas, Tx USA Post Number: 554 Registered: Jan-07 | well i guess i'll have to find out when i see his car next. BCS what speakers did you get? and i really dont want to go with a LOC cause i have one in my car and i personally hate it. |

Gold Member Username: MgbcsLincoln, Nebraska Post Number: 2467 Registered: Dec-06 | Yeah I hate my LOC as well. It was just my only choice. I don't really want to disclose the speakers I have...but I will lol. I got two sets of Audiobahn speakers with some amp when I first got the car. It was dumb, but I didn't know better at the time. I want to get rid of the car so badly that I haven't bothered dropping more $$ into it for better speakers. You really are limited with the 6x8s. I don't really know what to suggest |
