6.5" speakers

[Nic92]

do the 6.5" drivers fit in the factory speaker pods?

i was thinking about making new pods with fibreglass and mdf, not sure how to use it but dad said he has some and he will do it with me

Thanks Guys

Yep they will, some speakers may require you to trim the factory plastic pod sightly, though it's very simple. No worries.

 

[Nic92]

alright, will they need new holes drilled aswell ?

 

[sweefu]

Very dependant on your speaker, though probably.

 

[Nic92]

alright, thanks for that

if i have any problems im sure il start a new thread on the issue

hey, just wondering the plastic that is on the door behind the interior, im not sure if my car has it but i have seen it on other cars, that just comes off before i deaden it?

 

[sweefu]

Yep, that piece of plastic would have originally kept water and dust etc from getting in the door, if you are sealing your door with deadener there is no need to have the plastic there anymore.

 

[Nic92]

alrighty, thanks for everything

Just make your own speaker baffles out of MDF and fibreglass if you have the time. Try to aim the mid woofers as on axis as possible. The sound quality of the setup will benefit.

Takes a lot of time and patience though, to get the angles correct and even on both sides. You could potentially end up with a worse result than the stock baffles if not done correctly.
