Hi,

Anyone know what size the speakers are in the Doors?

Does the complete pannel need to come off to get the original speakers out?

Mine were 16cm. I just replaced them with some 17's, (Sony 1731, which I liked the sound of), and had to manufacture MDF spacers to suit.


It's a door card off job to get at the speakers, but if you know what you're doing, it's off in under a minute.

Thanks..have just ordered myself 16cm Alpine SPR 176a Components for the front.

Any advise for the rears?

Thanks
Sam

 

if you want a sub, then leave the rears redundant. they will only mess up your soundstage.

to be honest, just stick with a top pari of fronts, fade right to the front on your HU, and tune them to how you want at whaever volume you usually listen to them at... then slowly fade back till you get just a bit of ambience from the rears. there is no real point in upgrading them IMO...

 

Just spoke to Alpine Direct, they advised that the Alpine SPR176a has a too large of a magnet to fit in the front... :-(

Any advise...looking for Quality...components in 16cm....producing 50watts rms?

How about Rockford FNP2614 Components?

Sam, every decent set of components will struggle to fit in the stck mounting... just get your tools out andcut an MDF spacer of 12mil board and you will be fine...

 

Jag,

Thanks, i have now decided on a set: Rockford Fosgate FNX2612

There 6.5" Components.

I dont quite see how the MDF will make enough room for this speaker to fit in the door, if there is not enough room behind it.....

Help......

 

what u will find when upgrading with most speakers is that the depth of the speaker is a lot greater, and as a result will not fit properly into the stock hole, as they will clip on the windows.

using a 12mil or maybe 15mil spacer will pull the whole speaker forward, clearing it from the windows movements. just make sure you dont go too big with the spacer, as you will then start to hit the door card with the speaker.... 12-15 mil MDF should be fine

 

Any idea how much space there is behind the door card, before it starts hittign the window?

 

i have some boston pro 6.5s in mine, i think they have a mounting depth or around 65mil. i had to space em out 13-14 mil to clear the window if thats any help....

i think you sould be fine with 15mil both behind the speaker and in front, whatever speaker you decide to go for...

 

Yes, you need to take the whole door card off. See Chiark's web site (http://www.chiark.com) for an illustrated guide on how to get them off without ripping out the clips
