hmmmm... i seem to be getting mixed results from this question... brendon from the SDU told me ages ago the 6x9s will fit no probs... and stated it in his website

http://www.geocities.com/brendonmoses/gts4page22.html

yet everyone else reckons they wont go in with out spacers.

anyone confirm either of these?

Trust me - I've just done it - 6x9's will not fit (in the rear) without radical rework. I just said 'stuff it' and bough the best pair of 6.5"s and put these in - However, they didn't go in factory - a bit of modding needed to be done.

Suffice to say now I have a biatching stereo.

Lose the 6*9's and put 6" in and put a 15" sub in the boot !!

edit - I'm talking R33 BTW

OK, you may have been monitoring my progress of the stereo install - Well, I got it all done today , put it all back to gether and guess what - Wild engine/alternator noise.

Anyone recomend some power filters ???

OH, and BTW, yes I seperated the audio and power lines down alternate sides of the car.

Edit - SORRY - I thought I was posting new thread.... I'll try again !!!

Not only are they gay, but they dont sound as good either. Sound travels in a spherical form thats why round speakers sound better.

6x9s will be louder though... good for hangin at maccas! :devfu:

lol welll im not really in for hanging at maccas but seeing as i want loud and already brought a pair of 300w pioneers i think i'll stick with em... sound quality comes from the 220w pioneer splits... i dont sit in the back... well i almost do... i only want the 6x9s for bass.

no not at all... my mate has them in his car and the cabin is a lot bigger and they throw out a nice amount... im not into cruising chapel with my windows down and subs in the boot... im no hero... i want a nice amount of sound which i know these will produce... if i wanted competition i would have weighed my car down with lots of subs and not bothered with any rear speakers.

any more problems with my decision?

what was yoru decision man? so your gonna go for 6x9s in the rears?

well if you have to, the kicker 6x9s produce good midbass =)

and see to kenwood, and pioneer too

if you have abit more money then theres brands such as focal/morel/boston that you could consider.

but if not, dont bother, chuck 6x9s in there and be happy with it, that way you wont weigh your car down.

by the time im done with my car i'll have around 200 kgs of stereo in it (including sound deadening)...

lol see thats exactly what i dont want... 200kgs of stereo... i just want some nice sound to listen to... dont want to have to fill the panels with concrete to create better sound and i need somewhere to stick my golf clubs.

i brought my speakers, amp and HU about 4 months b4 i got the car so im not really going to go out and buy new ones when they havent been opened :)

I have put my Pioneer 6x9's in the rear parcel shelf of my R32, on spacers. They just fit between the window, and the seat, theyre definately not coming out. They do certainly have a bit of bass, nothing like subs of course, but they were never meant to be like that anyways. I think it sounds good, for the simple system it is (Clarion CD deck, the aforementioned 6x9s, and kenwood 4x6 in the front)

But this way, no cutting of the rear shelf.

hay guys sorry just to confirm ?

i have bought my sound system but i havnt actually got the car hahahaha

well i got rockford splits 6" for the front Fusion ^" splits for the back Alpine V12 amp and a Fusion 1200watt sub 12" and box.

now i wnated to know iam preety sure about this but

the 180sx 94 + models have 6" in the doors and

6" at the back am i correct?

let me know guys hehe =)

I agree with inark....and have done the same thing....and have the same problem....dammit!

Everyone tells me some of the metal is gunna have to come out of the parcel tray. Does this reduce the rigidity of the car at all? If so would it be real bad? Maybe a rear strut brace...hmmm

  • 2 weeks later...

I am about to start fitting my stereo to my R33... do the Pioneer TS-C1625 6" splits fit in ok without cutting up the door steel, or trimming the door trim? I want to fit the speakers in the factory holes under the factory door trims.

Do I need 6" * 4"s to do this?

Thanks

Conrad

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
