R32 gtst install

[BarnyR32]

Hey Boys,

I've just started installing my car audio gear that has been lying around in my room from my previous car (charade w00t), Threw in the alpine deck with out a hitch and cranks fine but just for one thing, the stocky speakers in the door are blown so i'll have to get new ones...

Anyone know if they are a 6" or 5 1/2"?

Im going to replace the rear speakers aswell, i have an mtx amp which i will throw in and a 12" sub but i want to go for a pair....

Another thing im worried about is the amount of boot rattle the pair of 12"s will generate...might have to get padding or something..

I was in the same pos...

The speakers in my doors were ****ed as well.... There Oval shit things.... I put a set of splits 6 1/2". Take out the existing pods in ther doors and put in some MDF Spacers. Mount the speaker to that, and it will fit straigh behind the door.

Ive got 4 12" subs to put in the back, Ive only put in 2 for now because ill have to go custom to fit ther other 2.. Yes it rattles, but i have a full fibreglass bodykit.. and thats the only thing that rattles... So you should be ok with them. The boot lid or quater pannels dont rattle at all.

Hope that helps.

You should sound deaden if it rattles.

Std fronts are 6x4's. Make some pods and put in 6" components.

I'd leave the rear speakers out of the parcel shelf to allow the subs to port into the car. Better sound, and reduction in rattling.

You can place rear speakers (if you have a coupe), in behind the side panels in the rear, ie the vertical piece of fabric above where your arm rests if you are in the back.

I made some pods for the void space behind the panel, removed the carpet, cut out a 6" hole to let the sound out, put a 6" speaker grill in there from Jaycar, and placed the carpet over the top. You would never know they were there, but you can hear them loud and clear.
