Do 6-3/4" splits fit in R33 GTST front doors (I've searched)

[JCMarshall_Law]

I know this has been asked before but I could not find anything in a search.

Could anyone tell me if 6 3/4" splits (the ones in the link below) will fit in the front doors of a R33 S1.5 GTST.

Can anyone tell me what speakers do fit in the front doors in the standard position?

Thanks in advance.

It is usually the depth that is the issue with most cars rather than the diameter. They should fit with a 2.5" mounting depth but you would need some serious spacers created.

If worst comes to worst there are always much better speakers around...

mmm yer they should fit. with me 6.5'' splits i rested them on factory holds and just screw em on and heaps of clearance from the window

they do fit. Philips GTM1703 will drop into that hole and that is a 6.75" speaker.

i got some jaycar 6.5" splits and they do not fit in the stock plastic mount. i installed one today, we had to remove the plastic mount, then make a mount from MDF onto which the speaker is mounted. i dont see how a 6.75" speaker could mount in there...

they fit on the rear. my bad. 6" with the bracket fit on the front.

They will fit, however the speakers will nto directly "bolt on" into the stock plastic mould.

You will have to remove the plastic mould (4 screws) and make up a custom pod from a sheet of mdf.

Simple really takes 30mins of messing around.

You will need a:

Sheet of MDF

1 x M6 Tap - to tap the screw holes out for the bolts.

8 x M6 Bolts long enough to go through the thickness of your MDF sheet and 5mm more to go into sheet metal.

1 x Sheet of MDF i would recommend 12mm

and some silicon to put between the wood and the metal as a seal.

wat about the front grill of the pioneer speakers, they would'nt fit exactly in the stock hole would they? Or do u guys just use the r33 grill and not bother using the pioneer's? Wat do u guys do to fit this in?

And for the speaker wiring u just chop off the old connecter and fit another one that fit the pioneers, wat connectors are used?

thanx

[rocketboy]

Just leave factory grills on.Your new speakers underneath will be sweet.Factory grills will look heaps better too, one of the doors has a curve in the grill.

I would suggest using the factory grill for 2 reasons:

1. The doors are slightly curved especcialy the drivers side

2. Keeps the install stealth thus less luring to potential theives.

As for connectors, i would Highly recommend using new wiring, as the factory wiring is of quite poor quality. And as for joins, i would recommend you Solder and Heatshirnk all connections, however you can crimp connectors on if you wish.

kool thanx for the replies, yea currently deciding to leaving the factory grill on as the pioneers need alot of modifying to fit on perfectly like using plastic or fibre molding.

anyways speakers sounded sweet now.

cheers

hey, i used to use 6" jl audio splits 2 cars ago with custom pods. when i got my old r33 skyline i tried to fit them, assuming the stock size was 6". they were too small to fit into the standard plastic mounts, so i assumed stock they are 6.5"(and left the crappy speakers in there)

in my current r33, as i wrote before i got 6.5' jaycar splits (after learning from the previous 6" being too small) which were too big. as u can imagine i was annoyed!

anyway aftermarket speakers came in the car, they fit into the standard front mounts, i just checked the box, and they are 6.5' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so basically, some 6.5' speakers will fit without modification, and some wont. jaycars dont. kenwood 6.5' coaxials(blue coloured) do, as that is what was in there.

yep my pioneers fit exactly in the stock mount except i drilled new holes to secure it in as the holes from the stock speakers doesn't match up.

I was told if u wanna fit aftermarket speakers without any hassles get the Clarions as all nissans got clarions as stock and apparently theres no need to modify the wirings also (correct me if i'm wrong).

So in other words they don't fit perfectly at all?

in terms of the dimension and size yes it fits perfectly in the stock mount. but the screws need new wholes drilled in the stock mount.
