Eagle Summit Speaker FAQ

What speakers should I replace first in my Eagle Summit?

Replace the 6 x 9 inch rear door panel speakers first. These handle most of your mid-range and bass output, so upgrading them gives you the biggest sound improvement. The 4 inch dashboard speakers can wait - they mainly fill in treble frequencies. Look for 6 x 9 speakers rated around 50-90 watts RMS with 4-ohm impedance. Component speakers work best here if you want crisp separation between frequencies, though quality coaxials will still be a solid upgrade over factory units.

Can I install component speakers in the Eagle Summit dashboard location?

Stick with coaxial or full-range speakers for the 4 inch dashboard spots. Component systems need separate mounting for tweeters and crossovers, which gets complicated in that tight dashboard space. The factory location probably doesn't have tweeter mounting points anyway. A good 4 inch coaxial speaker with a quality tweeter built-in will handle frequencies from around 80 Hz to 20 kHz just fine for that position. Save component speakers for the rear door panels where you have more installation flexibility.

What's the difference between coaxial and full-range speakers for my Eagle Summit?

Coaxial speakers have a separate tweeter mounted on top of the woofer cone - gives you better high-frequency response and stereo imaging. Full-range speakers try to reproduce all frequencies with just the main cone, which can sound muddy in the upper frequencies. For the Eagle Summit's rear 6 x 9 locations, coaxials typically perform better since they can handle the 50-18,000 Hz range more cleanly. The dashboard 4 inch spots... either type works, though coaxials might give you slightly crisper vocals and cymbals.

How do I verify my Eagle Summit speaker sizes before buying replacements?

Remove the speaker grilles and measure the actual mounting holes - don't just trust the factory specs. The 6 x 9 rear speakers should measure roughly 6 inches by 9 inches at the mounting points, but check the depth clearance too. Some aftermarket 6 x 9 speakers run deeper than 3 inches and might hit the door mechanism. For the 4 inch dashboard speakers, measure both diameter and mounting depth. The dashboard space is usually pretty shallow, so speakers over 2 inches deep could cause fitment issues with the dash assembly.
