Is it possible to put 6x9s in my skyline? Some asian **** told me today it cudnt be done....

[wolverine]

why don't you edit your post so you don't sound like a racist tool and yes you can install them but why is a better question?

[DaGr81]

*shrugs* just want em, i aint no racist being asian and all...

[Nav2k]

why cant u put them?

btw, what model skyline

also, why would u put them is the better question (:

if u've got a sub forget 6x9's

if u want 6x9's get a sub.

[stÖrmy]

you can put any type of speaker in any car lol...

6x9's should fit in any back dash, the only car we had problems installing 6x9's to were my friends gen 3 prelude, we had to cut the metal on his back dash and also cut the 6x9's LOL, but in the end it fits nicely and sounds sweet

nahh i bought a full pioneer system , 12" sub , 6x9s , 6" components , amp and deck as a package so no point having the 6x9s lying around mite as well use em

I tried but I'm not that great at it.

With 1 set of spacers it was very close to hitting the metal surround of the car.

Ended up not doing it and getting 6" round ones.

Got a spare set of 6x9's now if anyone wants to purchase??

Pioneer 3 ways, 240w i think.

Try this.

[Nav2k]

yes there is, leave them out

sell them to some guy on ebay or something.

6x9's r a generic oval speaker which tries to play sub bass. by using them u'll be taking away quality bass that ur subs should be playing. Esp. if u have them just off the headunit.

IMO sell the 6x9's, with the money u get from that buy $100 worth of sound deadening for the front components u have. will sound much better IMO.

but......if u really want to use the 6x9s just make a spacer out of mdf.

You don't have to.

check out my thread:

When i did mine i replaced the entire shelf and made a new one but you don't have to do this...

Roughly steps I took:

1.Remove rear seat

2.Remove stock speakers

3.Remove the Masonite timber panel on rear shelf

4.Remove everything form your boot - including your battery

5.Unscrew your HICAS Unit (this will need to be moved)

6.Get in your boot with the 6x9 template, mark where you want them

7.Use a angle grinder to cut away the steel - this is not allowed as it's a structual part of the car but you wont get done for it or anything

8. Once cut make sure no sharp edges, then try the speaker - if it fitst cut the top timber panel to fit (or make a ne wone like i did)

I helped my mate do his yesterday - took about an hour, should take you about 2ish if you aint done it before - maybe more if your scared of the sparks form the grinder

Method B is to buy some 6x9 'blocks' from say autobahn (or make your own) they do look a bit shitty IMHO but some people like them

[elbee111]

Or.........

Follow the shape of the "D" cutout in the body.

Angle the speakers so that the basket fits. It is tricky but it is possible and you don't have to remove stuff from the boot or metal.
