Where to buy spacers?

[someonestolecc]

Does anyone know where to buy spacers to suit 6.5" woofers?

Preferably angled.. this needs to be probably atleast 2-3cm.

I have tried Jaycar - they only sell 6".

I have tried Strathfield - they only sell the same one branded as a 6.5" (what a ****ing waste of time).

Any suggestions puh-leeeese? I can't find a pair and been waiting for this to install my woofers, put my tweeters in and put the door trims back on and it's holding me up !!!

Thanks guys.

[edit: The ones I've made and had in my previous car dont have enough clearance and they are about 1cm thick so I'd rather not make them up cos then I have to go lookin for thick thick mdf - this will be a last reserve as my doors are heavy enough.]

go to a hardware store to pick up the mdf...

tried autobarn, bris car sound, wow, jb hifi??

autobarn! good idea i'll try them now - thanks.

bris car sound = not in my state

jb hifi = only one ive ever seen of these sold old crap cds

autobarn same as strathfield - have 6.5" speaker splits that are 138mm (about 5inch) interior diameter ..

why do they even make those? people with 4-5" speakers DONT NEED damn spacers!

The Jaycar ones will fit 6.5's in them champ.

Failing that, I can send you a set if you like.

Thanks Marty.

The jaycar ones are 6.5" external diameter. I lined them up with the spacer that comes with the woofer they didn't line up at all - the internal diameter was from memory about 3-4mm smaller than the mounting spacer that came with the speakers.. I guess now that you mention it it might have cleared them with the other spacer in there as well but the guy did say 6" only.

The strathos ones are advertised as up to 6.5" but yeah the speaker did not fit them - altho now that you mention it p'raps if I use the spacer that comes with the speaker it will fit? Hmm I must try this tommorow.

Are yours angled? - because honostly I'd rather give you my (humble) business than jaycar - those ugly ****s i dealt with can screw their resistors up their respective arses. Strathos I dislike even more.

How much would they be to my door?

The ones we get from WES components (who I believe also supply Jaycar) will hold both 6 and 6.5. If worst comes to worst head down here and I just knock upa set out of MDF for you mate.

I'll checkout the ones we got from strathos again (which bugger arent angled) and see if they will fit (they look like the same size as the jaycar ones).

Thanks - You may be hearing from me on saturday haha.

I just sent you an email too re: an amp
