vs commodore rear speakers

[Michael92]

heey guys, quick question, I have two 6" kickers that I want to put in the rear of my car, will they fit, and how do i put them in, like how do i the grill's off to get to the speakers?

Cheers,

Michael

you need to take the parcel shelf out. take the rear seat out,undo all the clips in the shelf and then just pull the shelf out

[Michael92]

just for the speakers?

[VR028]

u can try and pry the grills off and poke the speakers through the hole in the shelf but its quite difficult. your better off just taking the parcel shelf off and making life easy for yourself. i had to my rear seats out to take my parcel shelf off

[Michael92]

what about the fronts? how do i do the front speakers?

[F l a k]

For the fronts you need to remove the door trim, search for a how to on here. It's not that hard to do though once you work out how, and probably worth a go yourself. Just be sure the new speakers will fit first, which the should if they are just 6 inches and not a strange design. You can get a small tool to make taking the trim, especially window winder and lock off easier.

[Michael92]

do i have to take off the whole trim, or just the cover?

[F l a k]

Can't remember, but I think you have to take it all off

[Nic92]

it would probably be easier if you put 4 6" speakers in all 4 doors

[Adds_05]

not in a vr/vs,theres no speakers in the back doors at all,thats not to say it cant be done,just that by the time you stuff around doing it,it would be easier to remove the parcel shelf

[nathanVY]

Yeah there's no speakers in the doors. The 6" ones you have should fit perfectly. I have 6.5" in the back of mine and from memory I had to make wooden spacer blocks (screw block to parcel shelf, then speaker into block, etc) so they sit up a tiny bit. but still underneath the parcel shelf.

Just whatever you do, DON'T CUT THE PARCEL SHELF IN ANY WAY. Voids your rego, insurance, etc etc.

have a search around next time, try this thread for info on removing the door trims / installing front speakers.

ohh ok, i didnt no they didnt have speakers in the rear doors, i thought all commo's did but anywho, so the vs commo's only came with 2 speakers?? i thought maybe if they came with 4 all u have to do is replace them

[VR028]

they have 4 speakers. some even have six. theres 2 tweeters in the dash, 2 in the front door and 2 on the rear parcel shelf

[Nic92]

ohh ok, then all he has to do is unscrew and take the old ones out and screw the new ones in?

[Adds_05]

yep,but he doesnt want to remove the parcel shelf to do it...

[Nic92]

ic :P its a pitty i cant put speakers on my parcel shelf i would like to put 6x9's on my back shelf on my VY but as u can see i think they would break, this is mine YouTube - RE Audio SX 18" Subwoofer in a SEDAN Holden Commodore VY S watch at 2:34

[Adds_05]

6x9's dont go well with subs anyway,they cancel out some of the bass from what ive read,better off sticking with 6 inchs all round

[nathanVY]

yep spot on, if you're running a sub doen't use 6x9s

[Zarconia]

Ive got 6x9's in my vs and use to have 6" in my old vr, the bass is ALOT louder than it was in the vr but that may also be due to them running off separate amps. All depends on what your running i would think

[Nic92]

oo but 6x9s would look kool, i dont have any bass coming from speakers

[nathanVY]

If you're not running a sub, definitely run 6x9s. If you're running a sub, don't run 6x9s.

[Nic92]

hmm ok then i need louder door speakers to keep up with the sub.. and with tweeters how do u install them lol.

[Zarconia]

Either buy aftermarket tweeters or rip the tweeters out of your speakers the place them where you want them and re-route the wire

[nathanVY]

Theres 2 screws holding in each demister panel, you'll need a short stubby philips head screw driver to get at them. Magnetic one too, careful not to let the screw fall in the vents like I did lol.
