I'm curious about this, as well. Could someone comment on replacing the speakers?

I just finished replacing the rear speakers using Sony Xplode 6 1/2, 3 way's. There is nothing to interfer with the rear of the speakers; the opening is as wide as the inside panel to the outside of the door; ~4 inches.Also, on my first trip, I failed to mention the road noise; not bad, but I like it a little quieter. I noticed, when I had the door panel removed, that there is nothing inside the door to deaden the sound; bare metal. I had a partial roll of 'sound deadening' material for autos, so my wife cut and fit, and covered the entire inside of the outer door panel. I'm sure it will make a lot of difference. Still waiting on information from someone on the 6 x 9 replacements for the front. Will any 6x9 fit, or is there a depth problem?

Thanks for the info on the rears clev. It looks like I'm gonna hafta' open up the front doors myself and find out how much room there is. I was hoping to not have to go in twice, but it looks like I may. I need to install some auto window modules anyways, but I was hoping to do it all in one shot. I'll keep it posted.

Just tried to fit 6 1/2 JL ZR650-CSI for rear doors. They don't fit because of the woofer support on the back of the speaker. I might cut the door a little bit so speakers would fit. But at least dynamat is installed.
Next to sex  is the best.

| Quote, originally posted by NismoPhan » | | Just have a question for anyone who's installed new speakers in their rogues yet. I know it's 6 X 9's in the front doors and 6 1/2's in the rear, but does anyone know how much available mounting depth there is? I've heard 3 inches, but I'd like to hear something solid before I go make any purchases. |
Not sure if you saw this thread but rougeagent08 pulled his front door apart to expose the front speaker. (several other pics as well) http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=318091 I was hoping an access hole might be open so you could "estimate the depth... but no luck. Maybe rougeagent08 will see this thread and reply.

Not sure about front doors but I came up with solution for rear doors. Since speakers don't fit all the way down I decided to attach them to the door panel. Well...by putting the speaker grill is probably doesn't look too professional but I can live with it. I didn't connect them just attached to the panel. I still have to cut the hole for the tweeter.

Great pictures Leo! Just one question, how's the vibration from the inner door panels with those nasty-huge JL's throwin' all that bass. Please say you've got some Dynamat or something on them before you tied it all up again.

Actually I don't hear any vibration. I was thinking about it before putting them on but decided to give it a try. I still have to cut the holes for tweeters. I'll do it tomorrow.

nice install Leo. I personally would not have cut the door panel and mounted the speaker to it. the mounting depth is listed at roughly 3 inches but you could easily fit something with 4.5" mounting depth by cutting the back of the mounting bracket and using a 1/2" MDF spacer ring. no matter what speaker you use, the install is pretty cut and dry, remove old speaker and place new one. as for mounting depth, you may need to cut the back of the bracket to get something with a larger mounting depth to fit.the whole purpose of the back plate on the bracket if for acoustical reasons. if you plan on replacing your stock speaker, I'd highly recommend using a good quality sound dampening sheet that is atleast surrounds the speaker by a few inches. I personally use Second Skin. I'll be getting a Big 3 Kit together by weeks end that will all be cut to length. I'll have a thread with pics for everyone. Also if any needs speaker wire or RCAs, hit me up.

Those JL ZR's are some seriously nice speakers. I wouldn't have fixed them to the interior garnish if I were you, since you're going to get a lot of reverberation. You can get some MDF speaker spacers from Zenclosures.com and they should resolve any clearance issues you have with the doors. They offer a much better mounting solution. You can get plastic spacers from Scoche, but they don't sound as good.I hope those nice speakers aren't hooked up to the factory amp and wires either. It'd be a waste of good money, otherwise.

ok..To make it clear. I didn't cut the deck. All I did just drilled 4 holes and attached speakers with heavy duty bolts. The aftermarket grill is only covering the 4 bolts which are silver. I can replace them with black flat screws and then I don't have to install that grill. There's a factory foam between speaker and the deck on the back side. I added some of dynomat to make sure nobody would complain by sitting in a car. Just added the tweeters will post pictures a lil later. Temporarily speakers connected to original radio with original wires. I'm not going to replace wires because these should sound just good enough but I will attach 4 channel jl audio amp later on. Also I'm having some problems with carputer so that probably would wait a lil bit.

For the crossover part it is located close to speaker like in the middle of the door. I used dynotape that holds it strong enough. I don't have a picture of that because the door is closed already.
