Infiniti M35 Speaker FAQ

Which speakers should I replace first in my Infiniti M35 for the biggest sound improvement?

Replace the front door 6.5 inch speakers first. These handle most vocals and midrange frequencies where you'll notice the biggest difference. The front tweeters work with these, so upgrading both together makes sense. Skip the 3.5 inch speakers initially - they're mainly for fill and won't transform your sound. The 8 inch rear deck center speaker might be worth considering if you want more bass, but start with the fronts.

Can I install component speakers in all locations of my Infiniti M35?

Component speakers work in the front and rear door panels since these locations already have separate tweeters in the front doors. The 6.5 inch positions can handle component woofers while using the existing 1 inch tweeters, though you might want to upgrade those too. For the 3.5 inch locations - center dash and rear deck lid - you're limited to coaxial or full-range speakers. The 8 inch rear deck center typically needs a full-range driver or subwoofer.

What's the difference between coaxial and component options for the Infiniti M35 door speakers?

Coaxial speakers put the tweeter and woofer in one unit, making installation simpler in your M35's 6.5 inch door locations. Component speakers separate these drivers - the woofer goes in the door panel while tweeters mount separately. Components usually sound better because each driver optimizes for its frequency range. But you need to wire the crossover and possibly modify tweeter mounting. Coaxials work fine if you want easy replacement without major modifications.

How much power do the Infiniti M35 speakers typically handle?

Most aftermarket 6.5 inch speakers for the M35 handle 50-100 watts RMS, which matches well with aftermarket head units or small amplifiers. The 3.5 inch speakers usually handle 25-50 watts RMS - they're not meant for heavy power anyway. That 8 inch rear speaker might handle 75-150 watts depending on whether you treat it as full-range or subwoofer. Your factory system probably pushes around 15-25 watts per channel, so most aftermarket speakers will be underutilized without an amplifier.

What impedance should I use for Infiniti M35 speaker replacements?

Stick with 4-ohm speakers for your M35. Most car audio systems expect this impedance, and it's what aftermarket speakers typically offer. Some people try 2-ohm speakers thinking they'll get more volume, but this can stress your amplifier or head unit. 8-ohm speakers will sound quieter than stock. The impedance affects how much current flows, so matching the original 4-ohm spec keeps everything balanced across all six speaker locations.
