I'm sure this has been covered before in a previous thread but I couldn't find anything so here goes...

I've just got a decent Sony head unit in my R32 but the stock speakers, god bless their 20w power - simply aren't up to the job! No being a unique size, 6"x4" - whats the done thing when it comes to speaker upgrades?

I am thinking just a pair of 6" cones or a split system up front and the same or 6"x9"s up the back. Is this set up do-able considering the stock speakers are such an odd size? Is there a better / easier set up that other people have done?

Any ideas / suggestions would be great...

Cheers

Copied from a previous post I made

------------

You can buy an aftermarket 6x4" speaker but I'd highly recomend getting 6" to fit. Even better, go for 6" components.

Remove the factory spacer and with a bit of paper/cardboard mark out the area around where the spacer used to be overlapping onto the metal enough to be able to screw it onto the door. Also you need to mark out where your 6" hole will be so it wont touch any metal.

Use MDF about 12mm thick. Also, before you screw it onto the door, spray paint it so moisture doesnt get to it and make it expand.

Remember also that more often than not when the system is struggling it 's the amplifier you're hearing struggling rather than the speakers.

If you're planning a speaker upgrade you might want to consider an larger external amplifier to provide more clean power to them than the headunit's comparitively small internal amplifier can provide. :P

    • Nice shot! They look super clean. The roof rack delete on the black one is interesting. Would like to see more pictures from different angles. It's subtle but could make quite a difference to how the car looks in profile.
