What's the difference between 6x4 and 4x6 speakers?

Question

I don't know if there is even a difference. I am buying new speakers for my 96 cavalier.

Answer 1

basically the 6 X 4 speakers have a length of 6 inches and the height is 4 inches





the 4 X 6 speakers have a length of 4 inches and a height of 6 inches





virtually there is no difference between the two because you can set the speakers down or on the side and eigther way it would be 4 by 6 or 6 by 4

Answer 2

None. 6x4=24 and 4x6=24. But seriously, the speaker size that you are referring to is normally called a 4x6. I've never heard it called a 6x4. That's like calling a 6x9 a 9x6. It's the same thing. It's just not what it's normally called.

Answer 3

6x4 Speakers

Answer 4

Other than the difference in length & height, I too don't think there is any difference. However, I found this guide for you- http://www.abt.com/about/Buying_CarSpeakers.php3. Hope it helps.
