2001 Mazda B3000 Speakers
Hi Guys & Gals,
I apologize for the inconvenience, but I need some help. My father recently purchased a 2001 Mazda B3000 and the rear speakers are missing. I'm wanting to purchase some for my father, but unsure of what the size is and if any speaker can work or if I need to use the wiring clip that's currently there. If anyone could give me some information I would really appreciate it!
PS It's a Christmas present so the sooner I can get some the better. I found this site, but it sheds no light. Hopefully I can post this site. If not I apologize.

5x7/6x8 fits for both doors and the rear. Use the stock wiring as it is probably hooked up already if the head unit is factory.

Ahh so anything off the shelf at the store should work? What about the hook-ups that are currently sitting there? Should i just cut the wire and cap them together?

Cut the connector and connect the wires that you get with the speakers to the existing wires. Any off the shelf will work and will be an upgrade from stock. But if you just wanna listen to the radio then doesn't really matter.

Order some efficient 6x8's from a reputable online store that will include free wiring adaptors. Look for sensitivity specs of 90db or higher and RMS wattage requirements starting with 2-.

Sorry about the slow reply. Do you have any suggestions for online sites? I found a speaker wire harness at uneeksupply.com/2001-Mazda-B3000-Speaker-Wire-Harness-Adapter_p_28463.html but that's all I've found. I can't seem to find a website that offers both the harness and speakers.

Re: 2001 Mazda B3000 Speakers
You can also use quick splice connectors as well. At that low of a wattage you'd be fine. I would suggest these
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003G6H558/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_KcHRsb1KT7NVG
Not a bad speaker for only 45 shipped for a pair.

Re: 2001 Mazda B3000 Speakers
I know what I am talking about. I have tested both. The Infinity are always right at 2.9-3.2 ohms. The JBL are usually right on 2.2 ohms. ...and I know they are both made by Harmon Kardon.

Re: 2001 Mazda B3000 Speakers
The factory wires in the head unit will have enough resistance that the ohm difference won't make a difference. In any case the jbl would be a better choice at 2.2 ohms because that'll give more of a gap to account for rise. Rise that wont even make an audible difference. Lol

Re: 2001 Mazda B3000 Speakers
The factory speaker wires are 18-22 gauge.
