6X9 Rear Speaker R33?

[Torques]

Hello,

Can I mount 6x9 in the rear without drilling any new holes?

(So can I use the existing holes where the factory speakers were mounted?)

Thanks ..

You'll need to raise the speakers with spacers to make them fit - they wont fit flush. Alternatively you can look on ebay for some of those jdm clarion/pioneer speakers which sit on top of the parcel shelf.

Thanks,

Yes, I know about the spacers but what about the 4 holes to mount it?

Can I use the existing ones?

Would you have a link (Ebay) as an example for the JDM speaker?

Easier to just use 6 or 6.5" round speakers. Otherwise, like others have said, spacers or make a new parcel shelf from 10 or 12mm MDF board. You will then need to brace/mount it to the metal and then screw the speakers to the MDF.

Alright,

Thanks ..

I have 6'5 speakers in the rear but thought I might get more bass out of 6x9.

Yeh, I had 6" components in my VL (back in the day ) and the bass of the 6x9's is so much more pronounced.

I made my rear shelf from 9mm mdf and 10mm underlay (i think) The 6x9s are mounted on a angle and there was no metal cutting. 2 riv nuts hold it to the shelf and its sweet.

I did the same. MDF parcel shelf. 6x9's mounted flush, but rotated about 40 deg.

Are you running a sub? If so just run 6 or 6.5 inces and get the bass from the sub. You will find that the 6x9's will distort easy

Cheers for the feedback,

I am not running a sub but might consider a small sub in the boot with a small 100-200 Watt amp.

I did this kind of installation (on different cars) before but always had issues with noise from the alternator.

(actually running 2 amps and 6 speakers + sub)

But now with the Skyline and its battery in the boot this might not such a huge installation task.

Possibly a sub-box with an integrated amp would be ideal.

I have 6x9 kickers i used 25ml mdf spacers and i just mounted them to the parcel shelf! had to take out the back seat and the rear trimming to get the parcel shelf out tho! And 6x9 don't distort maybe if you have a cheap deck!

[Ben r33 s2]

Or cheap 6x9 but if your going to do it you might as well pay a bit more and get some qaulity speakers! The bass just from my 6x9 and split system is enough for me!

I did this recently and to be honeat it was a huge pain in the ass. I have very deep 6x9's going yo have to look at a custom parcel shelf... I only did this because I had expensive 6x9's sitting doing nothing... if u dont have them laying around dont try it. Its simply not worth it.

Having said that this is in a gtr and I had bracing and battery mounts to deal with.

It looks like a dogs brekky . But im going to use it to build a new shelf.

Only thing I would say yo anyone hell bent on it is. Be patient and measure it out to the mm the tolerances ( on my install at least) are tiny
