Hi,

I understand the fronts in an R32 are 6"x 4"..

i'm not really the handyman.. and dont have the tools or anything, so i wanted to know whether 5" would fit?

6" i believe i need a spacer.. and 4" is too small..

so 5" i guess i'd be pretty content.

Thanks.

If your replacing them with anything other than the stock specs than you need a speaker pod of some discription. You will get the best results with 6" speakers (a good set of components) and use your HU to run them if your not intending on using an amp.

Have a look at the thread Predator wrote about pods, very handy indeed and anyone can make them, not hard. You only need the basic tools to do it as well.

Simple to install larger speakers in the front...

Ive got 6.5" morel splits up there..... want to know how

take off door trim

Take off crappy old plastic thing that holds speaker to door.....

Get some medium thickness mdf.... like 12mm or something...(cut offs at hardware)

put black thing on mdf and trace around and mark where the screw holes are....

buy $20 jigsaw and cut around edge....

Put 6.5" speaker in the middle where the old hole is kind of lined up.... there is a bit of room to play with..... so dont stress... drill then jigsaw hole......

trial fit.. if it dosent work cut again or modify:D

put speakers in.. wire up... put tweeter on the little plastic thing on the inside of the side mirror... pops off easily and will take small screws.....

put crossover in middle of door.. under where you rest your arm and screw in place

make sure that nothing on the door trim pokes into the speaker......

wire up and listen to what you have created...

muhahahahah

Okay then, why is the sky blue?  

Now lets see how many people actually know that! :)

No one said these questions had to be car related, except maybe the forum rules!

The sky is blue because

The blue color of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering. As light moves through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through. Little of the red, orange and yellow light is affected by the air.

However, much of the shorter wavelength light is absorbed by the gas molecules. The absorbed blue light is then radiated in different directions. It gets scattered all around the sky. Whichever direction you look, some of this scattered blue light reaches you. Since you see the blue light from everywhere overhead, the sky looks blue.

Hope that helps clear it up for you BADHABIT???

jbl do a speaker that go straight in with a little triming on the corners with a tin snips just got a new alpine and they sound awesome

Bought some of these yesterday gunna have a feed then fit them up :)

Can you just remove the grille from the door panel itself rather than remove the whole door panel itself to fit them..?

unless im mistaken you will have to remove the door pod completly. The grill is part of the door skin. Not hard to take on and off, takes about 2-3 mins once you know what your doing.

Well the speaker install went extremely smoothly :)

Removal of door trim nessacary but very easy, front speakers needed plastic edges (bout 5mm) cut off each corner to allow flush fitment.

Rear speakers requires removal off back seat and parcel shelf (again Piss easy) 6.5" rear speakers fit straight into factory holes.

Sound: Obviously far superior to previous weather beaten ripped ones (although they were Alpines), Kenwood MP3 Deck has ample power to run them and is quite loud, louder infact than the Factory system in my BA, but still dosnt offer the low down bass of the BA.

All up $260 for the Kenwood MP3 deck and $219 for all the JBL speakers you cant really go wrong ;)

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
