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 :)

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.

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.

check out my thread:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=62816

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 :)

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
