Default OEM JBL speaker dimensons?

Hi!

I have really struggled to find the OEM dimensions of the JZS161 JBL sound system, which is the 8 speaker one.

I want to know the size of these speakers:
1 - Center Speaker. (1 single speaker) --- Parts number: 86160-0W100

2 - Front Corner Door Speakers. The really small ones (2 of these in total) --- Parts numbers: 86160-0W080/90

3 - Main Door Speakers, if there's any difference between front and rear. (4 of these in total) --- Parts numbers: 86160-0W030/40/50/60

4 - Rear sub-woofer. (1 single speaker) --- Parts number: 86160-0W070

Diagram for reference:


Thanks to anyone who can provide this specific information.

Dont know it this helps, but they sell adapters for door speakers on ebay, front and rear. I ended up doing that.

I appreciate the attempted help, but I don't really need the adapter. I just haven't been able to find anyone who can tell me the OEM sizes. And want/need to know the dimensions.

If I was you, open the locations up and find out. Pulling your door panels should take you no more than 30 minutes and that should give you a great deal of information.

Front and back are both 4 inchers, and the stock tweeters up front are 1 inch.

I have done that, but I'm not sure how they measure that, I have taken out the sub for example, and it's really hard to judge

Hm.. are you sure we're talking about the same system? This is what my door speakers look like, which is quite different than what you displayed.

Front Left door speaker

Front Right door speaker

Rear subwoofer. Completely removed from the car

Those are defiantly different than 4". It looks like a 6.5" inch speaker but it's hard to tell by looks. What is your goal? Speaker replacement?

You're probably aware of this, but that speaker can be fixed with a new foam surround. See https://www.simplyspeakers.com

Yes speaker replacement is one of the goals. But i don't necessarily want to buy a bracket and completely abandon the oem stuff.

Yes i am aware these can be fixed. But it's the door speakers i really need to figure out. as my rear door speakers are really acting up and are probably also blown.

The sub i've got a replacement for, and not living in the states it's not always as easy to get repair kits without paying loads in import tolls and taxes

Yours were either already replaced with aftermarket speakers or the non US system had different specs.

Yeah it's non US system. I tried to specify that by stating JZS161, as i assume there's no GS under that model. So this is the JDM Aristo.

It is the stock JBL speaker system though, with the parts numbers listed in OP

I pulled custom (and deeper) carbon fiber speaker enclosures off of the factory plastic ones, and went a little nuts with the speakers. Here is a front door speaker:


Four-way in each door way, lol!
75 watts to each speaker from a JL Audio VX800/8i (full DSP soundstage). Rear speakers got an 8" midrange in a similarly designed sealed CF enclosure. Removed the factory sub to allow more bass from the trunk (it's a trap!) into the cabin, and also made a pass-thru behind the rear seat fold-down armrest to allow more bass thru. Two 12" subs running at 1200 watts total in the trunk. Not a single speaker, enclosure, or signal wire from the factory is used. This system sounds nice.
