having trouble fitting speakers on door pod.

[yZoH]

Nic92, I've seen those speakers somewhere before...

From memory the re-audio's, Below that silver trim ring. In the cone section, It's hollow... It adds 15'ish MM that is not needed.

If these are the same, The guy drilled a hole in the metal cover horizontally, in both side & used a big screwdriver through both holes to pop the cap off.

Cheers
Mat

Trying to find the build thread on the net with the guy that did it. To makesure it was the re-audio xxx6.5c's.

Last thing I want is you ruining a great bit of kit.

yeah, i knocked on it and felt/sounded solid

what about, cut a hole out of the door trim, and have just the midwoofer showing? but wouldnt look as good would it?

You could do this, sure. But a lot of work to make it look good, you will need to make a very large mount for the speaker to have it sticking out enough / at the correct angle, and then probably fibreglass a cover to surround the speaker, lot of work.

2 much fking around.. i think i will just get 6" mids

Hmm... Up to you

The diameter isn't the issue, it's the depth mate. But you aren't far off, mine are 74mm and fit no worries.

xxx6.5c from reaudio's website

If it was me, I'd drill a hole right in the bottom... 1-2mm hole... then push a pin in an see how mucn depth there is if it isn't full...

Then I'd hack it off...

But that's me

Worste case you could put a little jbweld on the hole u drill...

Have you seen the excursion these can handle?...


MAKETHEMFIT!
