If I put 6x9's in the doors of my VX will i need to cut much?
I'm to lazy to take it apart and have a look so you can tell me.

I'm too lazy to tell you also.

I'm not too lazy to tell you that it's a stupid idea.

Man, that must've took some effort.... :bow:

Oh I hope you are not too lazy too tell me why its a stupid idea!!!

get off your fat arse and pull the door skin off to find out why

For one, as far as I know, it's illegal to cut up the metal of the door... It weakens the door and makes the car unroadworthy.

Also, 6x9's don't give the best sound... Why do you want 6x9's in your doors? Which doors? Front or back? If you want alot of midbass from your doors, work out how to fit 8" ROUND speakers and do it properly.

The main reason is 6" or 6.5" in the doors and a 10"-15" sub in the boot will sound 100 times better than 6x9's in doors and will be a hell of alot easier.

Finally, a decent answer from someone who knows what they are talking about and isn't just a smart arse.

I had no idea I'd need to cut the metal in the door, if you look at my first post I asked if i'd need to cut anything. I posted on here as I thought it would be the easy way to find out and pulling my door apart would be the hard way. It was touch and go for a while.

Thanks StoneX. I'll look into what you have suggested further.

i agree with stoneX. forget 6x9's and get a good set of splits. easier to put in the doors and sound heaps better (with a sub of course)

There is a large slot in the metal along the bottom of the door where the map pocket on the trim recesses into the door, but that'd mean customer door trims and speakers firing into the side of the seat. You could make custom trims and have the speakers in the normal location but it's still 6x9's... It's alot of work for average sounding speakers.
