installation of rears and front contridictions??

[inark]

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?

[B-Man]

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

[B-Man]

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 !!!

[inark]

can anyone confirm this for a 32??

[Guest mooks66]

just to confirm.

6x9s WILL NOT FIT without modification to the rear parcel try.

i.e. mdf rings or fibreglass buildouts.

just stick a pair of beefy 6.5s in there and be happy with it

no one uses 6x9s these days anyway. they're gay.

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.

[Guest mooks66]

"6x9s for bass"

your joking right.

[inark]

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?

[Guest mooks66]

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)...

[inark]

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

[Guest mooks66]

hehehe what gear did you buy dude??? do tell

has the details... nothing big... should be just enough for what im looking for.

[steve_R32]

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.

Steve

[inark]

yeah spacers will have to do until i can get a pricing on fibreglassing the rear of my car so i have no seats there

then i'll stick em in that

[Dragon18]

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 =)

[NIZ30]

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

[slayer]

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

[NIZ30]

Not sure of the exact speaker, if those ones are the silver bullet type of split then yes. I have these in the front. The six is mounted on some MDF behind the door trim. No cutting was necessary.

[slayer]

Yep thats the ones, cool thanks. Where did you mount the crossovers? Inside the door, or in the car?
