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

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.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
