Saturn SW2 Speaker FAQ
What speaker sizes fit the Saturn SW2 front doors?
6.5 inch speakers mount in the Saturn SW2 front door panels. You can install coaxial or component speakers in these locations. Component systems typically deliver better sound separation since they split frequencies between dedicated tweeters and woofers. Coaxials work fine too if you want simpler installation.
Should I replace rear door or rear deck speakers first in my Saturn SW2?
Focus on front door speakers first. The Saturn SW2 front doors house your primary sound stage - this is where most stereo imaging happens. Rear speakers mainly provide fill and ambiance. Earlier Saturn SW2 models had rear door panels with 6.5 inch speakers, while 2000-2001 moved them to the rear deck lid. Either way, upgrade fronts before rears for maximum impact.
Can I install component speakers in all Saturn SW2 locations?
Yes, all speaker locations accept component systems. You'll need to mount tweeters separately though - probably in the door panels or A-pillars for front components. Rear deck installations might require custom tweeter mounting. The factory locations are designed for 6.5 inch drivers, so your woofers should fit without modification. Just verify crossover mounting space.
What's the difference between Saturn SW2 rear speaker locations by year?
1993-1999 Saturn SW2 models have rear speakers in the door panels. 2000-2001 moved them to the rear deck lid instead. Same 6.5 inch size either way. Deck mounting typically gives better bass response since the trunk acts as a larger enclosure. Door mounting offers easier access for upgrades but... less acoustic space.
Do Saturn SW2 speakers need specific impedance ratings?
Most aftermarket 6.5 inch speakers run 4 ohms impedance - this matches what your Saturn SW2 expects. Component speakers often include crossovers that maintain proper impedance. Full-range and coaxial speakers typically handle 20-80 watts RMS, which works well with factory head units. Higher power handling doesn't hurt if you plan amplifier upgrades later.
Will full-range speakers work in Saturn SW2 rear locations?
Full-range speakers work in 1993-1999 Saturn SW2 rear door panels but not the 2000-2001 rear deck locations. The deck lid setup seems optimized for coaxial or component configurations. Full-range designs need proper enclosure volume to perform correctly. Door panels provide some enclosure effect, deck lids... not so much. Stick with coaxials for deck mounting.
