R33 - Installing Front Speakers For Best Quality?

[Kinks]

I'm keen to hear any thoughts people have on how to get the best quality sound in the front of an R33. I'm keen on maintaining a standard appearance, so no kick panels etc. Will be putting the midwoofers in the standard door location (although if there's a good way to mount them so they don't get muffled by the door trim i'm all ears) and the tweeters can go anywhere unobtrusive.

If anyone has pics of their front speaker installations I'd love some ideas!!

im keen to see what people say as i will be looking at getting some tweeties soon,

some guy said its best to mount the tweeters opposite the accelerator and then the same on the opposite side, this means both are somewhat balanced at a distance away from your head.

do amped splits require sound deadening behind door skins!?

Hope this can help mate. Wrote a little guide (not much) a few months ago.

To start off, make adapters for your new speakers out of mdf, and make sure they're mounted and secured properly. I personally prefer wood over plastic as i like to think it's more sturdy. This shouldn't be hard as long if you don't pick overly thick mdf. Just make sure the speaker clears the window and door trim fine before putting everything together. Then you'd probably want to use some sound deadener in the doors to get rid of rattles. Not much more to it really. Ideally you want the speakers in some sort of enclosure but that's hard to do while trying to keep everything looking stock.

do this:

remake the original spacer in MDF to suit waht you are fitting. sound deaden the inner skin of the door and the outer skin of the door. tweeters can be put in the kick panels or on the a pillar if you can find the panel for it (S2 33 had tweeters there.)

from there put as much power and you can on htem.

that's along the lines of what I was thinking already.. thanks all

is spray-on deadener worth it or is it a complete waste of time compared with the stick-on stuff?

You can help me install my Dynamat. ;o)

I'll be making MDF rings soon, if you're interested in a set?

[Kinks]

sure thing.. give me a yell when you're planning to do it

stick on is better..
