R33 standard speaker set up

[v_s_p_e_c]

Can anyone tell what size the front and back speakers in an r33 gtst are?

I pulled my fronts out and replaced them with 6.5'' ones with alot of stuffing around.

I'm pretty sure they are 5 1/4'' size, but they are not round and have a kinda lip on the corners where the screws sit.

I recommend doing a search of past threads - some lads claim that some 6'' fit straight in, others are sceptical.

I know from experience, 6.5'' is definitely too big to fit inside stock holders without jigsawing a custom spacer.

I fit 6 1/2" Pioneer splits straight into my R33 with no modification to the factory speaker holders. I think it depends on the speakers you get. You also need to take the depth into consideration, again the Pioneers just fit in.

yeah different manufacturers have different sizes ... they measure their 6.5" differently ... i'm pretty sure they are 6.5s but most manufacturers 6.5 wont' fit in ..

Thanx alot, and does anyone know about the back if there are any.

Babboon what do you mean about "not round", like oval or actually with staight sides?

I know a few japenese imports come with 5*7's in the front and rear. . .

Sounds like the fronts are multi fit hehe.

i have 6 inches ALL ROUND

...

just had em switched to 3 way JBL coaxials in the front..6 inch

and 2 way pioneers in the rear...also 6 inches

took out the factory clarions

practically in peices...looks like its made out of paper too

stupid.

Stock are 6.5 inch all round. 6s will go in with a bit of stuffin around as the mounting holes will obviously be in different places.

I'm gonna put a set of 6 1/2s in the back soon. Anything bigger will involve too much mucking around...

[hippy]

make sure u get ones that perfectly fix or its going to be alot of muckin around anyways .. best thing to do is open up the trim .. take out the stock speaker holders and bring it to the car audio place ... and say ... "you got anything that fits these?" and they will try to sell u the most expensive stuff they got .. and go from there

rigga: im pretty sure all r33's r 6inches all round standard.

[riggaP]

I changed the stock speakers in mine, myself, and all 4 speakers were 6.5". It set me back about an extra 3-4 hours making wooden frames so the 6s fit securely.

[streamer]

okay..maybe it was a factory option.

Hi-Po stereo : if mr Japanese man ticked YES, he got 6.5's all round which = better bass...

No tick, then he got 6 inches all round like mine, = shit sound

[riggaP]

the stocky 6.5" also = shit sound. They had almost disintegrated completely!

[v_s_p_e_c]

I see so 6.5's and 6's will fit after a bit of fiddling around.

Thanks

VSPEC,

What I meant by "not round" is that the holder is a round shape, with widened areas on the 'corners' where he screws sit.

Pain in the ass shape...

That's what i thought.

Thanx for your help
