hey, im curious as to what size speakers people have put into their r33's. ive been told that only 6" is all that fits. and by others that 6.5" and 7" fits perfect. ive found some 6.5" splits for the front that i like. but want to know for sure if they'll fit or not first. also what fits in the parcel tray. thanks people!

hey man

i think 6.5" splits will fit in the front. well im guessing they would!!

but in the rear i think you'll have to go with some 6x9's!

but don't take my word for it, could very easily be wrong!! ;)

i got 6" in the front, they fit perfect, cant see why u cant put 6.5" in with little modificatin.

in the back i got 6x9's but i need spacers. i then recarpeted the shelf and make it look like its a moulded parcel. will get pics of shelf if u want but inregards to front shouldn't be a prob.

6" (6.25 on stock mounts) front - 6.75 rear. with custom mounts anything is possible. 6x9s - no no without a LOT of work.

6.5" will fit if you make an MDF ring to sit them on.

6x9s in parcel shelf are easy. did them last week for -R33GTS- All you need is spacers and they sit perfectly.

So you need a MDF spacer to pull the speaker away a bit, is that so it fits in the hole - or so the back of the speaker doesnt hit the inside of the door?

I'm thinking this is what fhrx did here:

yep.

when i did R33GTS's spacers i made a template so i can just make them when ever i need to without having to measure up again. pretty much the same as Fhrx's. i used 6mm MDF and i had no worries.

for the 6x9 spacers, he already had a set in, but 16mm spacers would work a treat if u were to buy pre made ones.

only things with the ones FHRX show is this. pull your door off, note where the tab is on the back. that is the door pocket seal. with the ones pictured that block is gone and anything in the door pocket goes straight into the door. I usually make an exact copy of them that way you dont loose things.

im probably going out to buy a set of 6" to fit in the front + rear on the weekend and will be running off an amp. Anyone know if Alpine do a 6" speaker? Would preferably like to go with Alpine but all i can find is 6.5"

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.

      Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.

      Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
