spacers .. Or dump the 6x9s and get a set of 6" components.. and a sub .. ur call tho big price difference..

spacers change the 6.5" hole to a 6" x 9" socket ready for your speaker however it does elevate the speaker some.

I just had my splits installed professionally.

I always thought it was best to point the tweeter at your face, so you can hear it, as high frequency sound is quite directional. However my installer said this effects the sound you hear, and they are best mounted on the pillar, but pointed accross the front of the car towards the other pillar.

Why dump the 6x9's?? If your willing to spend the time to make a new parcel shelf from MDF then its a fairly decent way to go. The added bass you get from the 6x9's is pretty good if you dont wanna go subs. I know a guy with splits up front and 6x9's rear custom parcel shelf sounds good once amplified.

i put my 6x9s the other way round, had a little trouble geting them right but it all good now. Still having trouble fiting my 6.5 splits in the front, the magnet is way to big to fit. :mrt:

get a custom rear parcel made up to fit the 6x9's and shaped to clear the battery. I have a custom rear parcel shelf on mine to allow deeper 6's to clear the battery. Looks factory as they put the factory vent in the shelf. If you want pics I can take some and post it up.

The tweeters I put on top of the door near the base of the a-pillar.

yea post me some pics please of the parcel shelf and your tweeters, i like your boot install aswell :thumbsup:

thanks :O

Here are some pics of the parcel and tweeter setup...sorry for the size, I just installed vista and haven't got photoshop back on yet.

Here are a couple of shots of my tweeter pods.

Got hold of an extra set of kick panels and fibreglassed the Focal tweeters' flush mounts to the panels.

After a LOT of sanding, i covered the panels in texture spray, let dry, and sprayed them matte black.

Pics look bad, they're much better in real life.

    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
