I just got my 2003 EVC about a month ago. The stereo had been replaced
w/ a Sony. I was planning to replace the speakers soon. I know the
doors are 6 /12. What about the dash? I took off the cover and it
looks kinda funky. Will aftermarket speakers mount ok? What size?

Two years after I had some body work done on my 99 EVC both the radio and the speakers were blown out, don't know what happened in the body shop.

Anyway, I took it to Al & Ed's Autosound and replaced the radio with an Alpine. The manager said that the only speakers that would fit the existing cutouts were MB Quart 6.5" speakers. MB Quart is a German company. The speakers were expensive at $250 for the pair but they fit and sound great. For some reason neither the tweeters (dash speakers) or the rear speakers were affected.

Actually, the door speakers are 6 3/4 and the biggest issue you will
run into is finding some that are shallow enough to fit if you want a
OEM look. The cutout in the dash is for 4 inch speakers - you can
easily remove the current tweeters but also finding replacements is a
bit tricky.
The wiring is going from the stereo to the tweeter to the door speakers.

The rear panel speakers are 5 inch and there are no good and easy
replacements avail. I tried a couple of things but at the end of the
day it seemed easiest to just leave the stock speakers in.

I replaced the door speakers with a set of Sony's (cut off the coax
tweeter) and replaced the dash tweeters with a set of coaxes
(Infinities). I then added an external crossover. Net result is more
transparence in the mids and highs, still mumbling weak lows (which
almost entirely disappear when going more than 45 mph.
Its hard to make it into a concert hall.
And yes, first thing replace the stock radio unit. It sucks.

If I remember correctly, the EVC has a radio and speakers that are different
from all other Eurovan models. Many of us non-EVC owners are quite satisfied
with the original front-door speakers. Should any EVC owner desire the
original front door speakers in perfect condition from a Weekender, let me know.

Excellent point. Somehow I thought he was talking about a Weekender.
I am not familiar with the EVC setup.

Bob, how about rear cabin speakers for a 03 wknder? Where would be

a good place to get those....I imagine they are unique?

The rear speakers for the EVWK are unique and not easily replaced.
They are straight 5 inch speakers. But its not only that, the frame is
pretty unique too and won't really allow for an airtight fit to
enhance the bass. Most people, after trying a couple of things,
resort to keeping the stock speakers. In the end any replacement would
be only marginally better. And there is not a lot of space to build in
other speakers without impacting any of the moving parts (like the bed).

Florian 03MVWK - have tried to replace the rears at least 3 times.
Still stock.

Speakers in an EVC compared to those in a Weekender are like apples and
oranges.

Here's an excerpt from an article I submitted to this group site:
I also purchased 2 way (tweeter & 5 1/4" woofer) Audiosource outdoor
speakers for the rear (forget the original rear speakers.) I attached
them using their brackets to the seat belt brackets on either side
using (lots of) nylon ties. I ran wires up & under the trim panels
toward the rear and the amp. (or, if no amp, toward the front and
solder into the original rear speaker wires). The Audiosources swivel
toward the rear in case I want to have a "tailgate party".

Pictures anywhere? I am interested.

I finally ordered speakers from Circuit City and had them install.
The original EVC speakers are 6 1/2 " in the door w/ tweeters in the
dash. They have a crossover in there as well. The door speakers are
rather shallow and most will not fit. Polk makes the DB series
separates as well as a DB series slim that work.

I used Polk separates(db series) in the front and Polk DB 461 in rear
(4x6's).

I just had Circuit City install as I didnt feel like messing w/
Crossovers. Cost me less than $70 for install. Sound is
good.
