Frequently Asked Questions
What Gen is a 2014 Impala?
10th generation
The 10th generation of one of autodom's most familiar nameplates, the 2014 Impala is indeed a sculpted piece, if a bit rumpalicious. (The 2014 Impala rides on the same front-drive platform as the Cadillac XTS, a car that also features a long rear overhang.)
What are the standard speaker sizes?
Standard sizes are 3", 4", 5-1/4", 6-1/2", 8", 10", 12", 15", and 18". Actual measurements can vary significantly regardless of the manufacturer's size designation. Knowing the exact frame diameter will help to match up the speaker especially if it is placed into a recessed opening for a flush mounted look.
What does LT stand for on an Impala?
Luxury Touring
In the beginning, LS stood for “Luxury Sport,” but now it's often the name of the base Chevy trim level, which also means it's the most affordable. LT stands for “Luxury Touring,” and it's usually the next step up from the base level.
Which impala is better, LS or LT?
The LT follows after the LS, offering even better features at a slightly higher MSRP. While these features vary from model to model, you'll notice a more luxurious feel overall. However, the Chevy lineup includes impressive comforts, conveniences, and safety features at every price point.
What size speakers are in the Impala?
The Impala's front door speaker area can accommodate 5-1/4", 6-1/2", or even 6-3/4" speakers, but mounting depth is limited to 2.9" and this is not a simple, "plug and play" job.
What is the difference between 5x7 and 6x8 car speakers?
A 6x8 and a 5x7 are the same speakers, but with different mounting hole locations. If you see speakers labeled as "6x8/5x7" it is still a 6x8, it just means that they have extra mounting holes to also accommodate 5x7 applications.
Why is my Chevy Impala so loud?
Over time a muffler will rust and develop holes and cracks. Eventually it will start to fail completely. A car that is running louder than normal is often due to a failing muffler. Other symptoms include a significant drop in gas mileage and an increase in exhaust fumes.
How do I know what size speaker I have?
Use a ruler or a tape measure to take your measurements in inches for the speaker. Set your speaker upright so the widest part of the cone is face-up. Take your measurement at the widest point of the speaker from one edge of the mounting frame to the other. Write down the measurement so you don't forget it later on.
What size are the front door speakers?
6.0 and 6.5 Inches
Typically installed in the front car doors.
