Help! Speaker size

[Mark Stadnicki]

I just recieved my Boston Acustics S85 speakers from Amazon (Electronics Express). However the box says 5" x 7"... I ordered 6x8. I called 2 other places that Amazon said had 6x8 to see if they had them in stock they said yes, I again said 6 x 8? and they said no 5 x 7. Do I have the right speakers?



I measured the physical size and it is 5 1/2 x 7 1/2 ???? :unsure:

I don't know about those specificly but a lot of 5x7 are also 6x8.. not in actually speaker size, but in mounting size.

Sorry for the pre-mature panic- Did some research and found that they are the right ones...





The Boston S85 6"x8" speaker features a 3/4" tweeter with a built-in cooling system for long term reliability and excellent power handling. A contoured tweeter plane guides high-frequency output to create a larger listening "sweet spot," while Boston's Amplitude Modification Device (AMD) reduces harshness in the upper mids for clear, detailed sound.

The sturdy woofer cone teams up with a durable butyl rubber surround to produce tight, clean bass with minimal distortion. And you'll hear a smooth blend between the woofer and tweeter, thanks to the built-in crossover. Grilles are not included. (Factory grilles are appropriate for most installations.)



Note: Although the Boston Acoustics owner's manual for this speaker says that it's a 5"x7" speaker, our research has determined that it only fits into 6"x8" openings.

Boston's I like Boston's. Very accurate and smooth sound. I like my Infinity's but a little too bright.

I'm going to pick up some sound deadner to install while I got the doors apart.
