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.

if you ahve any other question then ask away as someone will give you the answers you seek. :P

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

Ed :D:D:D

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???

:cuddle:

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 ;)

Sounds good mate, i can't wait to finish my install off. Rain sucks and without a garage it makes it kinda hard :chairshot

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
