Hunting for a Stock Explorer Speaker
Hunting for a Stock Explorer Speaker
This isn't a WTB thread...
My wife's explorer has suffered a speaker failure. Being that it's the wifey's vehicle, I'm not looking to upgrade but, I would like to get that stereo feeling back in the vehicle...
Here's my problem... I don't want to buy a new one and none of the local junkyards seem to want to bother with me wanting one speaker. Ebay is nil right now on this item.
What size speaker is in there? Anyone know? Any thoughts on finding one? I'm already fishing over on explorerforums.com.
Thanks, fellas!

P.S. We need a mod for in the audio forums... Sometimes things can get a little out of hand. My vote is Bartak, Styx, F150 Truckin or someone else that knows the stuff inside and out.
Its whatever.
Sorry about that guys! I really appreciate your help!
It's a 2004 Eddie Bauer. It has the audiophile - or at least I'm nearly certain that it does. The presence of the subwoofer means that it has the audiophile option, right?

Try the Styxaudio speakers. Those will work perfectly.

now if you order a pair of those from Parts Express it would make no differance, if you have 2 way, you would just be placing them, if you have standard (1 way) you would still be replacing them with a upgraded speaker..

now that the right on..... I'll be he as sold many sets for Part EX.. from his post....
The dang thing started working again tonight... I'm nearly certain I've got a loose connection or something.
I'm going to try to yank the panel off tomorrow or sometime this week to see what I can jiggle to make it work.
Thanks again for all of the help -- If I don't have to buy one, I'm going to try to dodge it. My wife is far from an audiophile - heck, she hadn't noticed that the speaker wasn't working.
She hadn't noticed that but there's this TINY little rattle coming from the rear gate and she's been ALL OVER ME about getting back there to give it a look. LOL!
Thanks again... I'll keep you guys posted. Again, I appreciate the help!

Really seems like a short somewhere... hopefully, it's an easy fix. We'll see.
If not, the $5 speaker seems like a fair deal.
Go for the Partsexpress speakers. They're $4.88 or $4.25 if you buy 4 or more...IIRC
I ordered a set of 4 and put them in my '05 Supercab. Did the front first and compared them to the stock rears. There was a world of difference.
They sounded so good a buddy of mine ordered a set that same day.
So which one of you bought a bunch and put them on ebay?
