Hi

i recently purchased some sony 4 way 420w 6x9 speakers for $74 and i am wanting to put them in the rear parcel shelf of my r32, i noticed that the hole in the wooden parcel shelf fits 6"speakers and same with the hole in the metal underneath, but i dont want to cut up my metal parcel shelf to install the 6x9s. Anyone done this b4 without cutting the metal hole bigger??, i am thinking of spacers but i am still quite confused as i have only had the car for 2 weeks and i dont want to screw it up yet.

I have looked everywhere on this site but i can only find topics of people making a new thicker parcel shelf on r33's.

Images welcome of 6x9 rear parcel installs

Gday mate,

You can buy the spacers from Strathfield/ JB pretty much any "hi fi" store but the thing is to get spacers that allow the speaker magnets to pass through the holes in the parcel shelf ;)

I was going to go down this route, but i ended up getting a set of JBL 6.5" for the rear, simply cauz its a bit of a hastle with the 6 x 9" but everyone to their own eh :)

You mentioned that you only just got the car? Well then I’m guessing your a bit hesitant pulling up the seats etc... If you pop over to the DIY section i have made a thread explaining how to install a sub in a 32, in there you can get an idea of the best way to get the rear seat out etc :)

Anywayz, have a great Easter mate, and enjoy ya tunes!!!

Regards,

running quite low on money lol, so im gonna make some spacers out of mdf, put the speakers in the spacer and bolt through the speaker, spacer, wooden parcel shelf and into the metal parcel shelf.

If anyone has some pics of their own 6x9 rear install could they post up pics and info on how they did it?

Thanx

Dont worry peeps, i am going to cut into the parcel shelf with the help from my brother who has done it on past nissans.

I will take fotos and hopefully make a diy tutorial out of it, to help everyone else with this problem.

thanks anyway

cutting the metal of the parcel shelf is a defect. If a cop catches you, might have some trouble fixing it back up....

Couldnt agree more, cutting the parcel shelf is considered a defect because I think its considered a major structural part of the car or something like that

Yep thats correct :), not worth it mate !!!!

man just jump in the boot with a small die grinder and cut away. no cop will check. if a cop pulled u over im sure he will be more interested wat u have under the hood other than ur system.

what ive done

made new shelf from MDF

got spacers for 6x9s and screwed it all together

cant see the speakers because they are behind the seat cushon and my window tint is dark so dont care how they look either

You can cut the parcel shelf.

Provided....

You dont cut within 50mm of child seat restraint bolts.

and

You only cut the minimun amount required to fit the speakers in.

Even after telling customers that its not advisable to do so, and trying to talk them into buyin speakers that will fit, but we will still cut them if a customer wont be swayed.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
