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.

    • I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road. 
    • That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 馃挭馃徏 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...
    • Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?
    • I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.
    • Well, I had an Edward Lee's special edition odo windback car/motor with a RB25DET S2 and I put down 372kW with a good amount of track abuse for 1.5 years before the ring lands decided it didn't want to stick around anymore 馃ゲ But probably didn't help I kept on smashing try limiter on the track and a few skid pans.
