Couldnt find an answer after searching so just want to know if 6.5's will fit without any sort of modification, or are the stock standard speakers 6"? I have had aftermarket speakers in since I bought it but they are crap and arent even mounted at all (they're a big box of something, sound like crap though), slip around everytime I hit a corner!

thanks

dunno if they'd fit mate but splits at the back aren't necessary. some two way speakers are all you'll need. save the money and put it into a better amp, splits for the front or other stuff. the rears are just for fill

I agree, but since my car came with focal splits in the back i aint getting rid of em.

They do fit coz i have them, not sure how hard it was to get them in.

Yep, agreed as well about the smaller mounting depth. When I changed my car speakers, I actually took everything apart so that only the

rears were ready to be mounted. Then I just drove to Strathfield car radio, and some places are nice enough to let you take the speakers to your

car and see if they will fit.

Of course you should do your research first to narrow down to a few speakers that you are interested in first.

yeah i had 6.5" Hertz splits in the back, had to modify/cut the plastic holder a bit to get them to fit properly though and i think some the holes didn't line up exactly in the plastic holder as well, also I left the restraint bars in over the speakers and i found (when i took them out) that the speaker was actually coming up and just hitting the bracket so now there are 2 small divets on the cones (no biggie), but now I have jaycar 6x9" in the back on an mdf shelf and they shit all over the splits

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
