this is how i did it...



that along with my subwoofer setup but you could easlily build a template so that your 6x9's can rest back there.

[MiddMackAttack]

Yeah, i saw that, and like everyone else said, that would look sooooo much tighter if you get that center part covered with something, it still looks real good though. I was more wondering if there was a way to get the 6x9's in the stock speaker places, if u have to take out the plates or something

[MiddMackAttack]

BTW, how did you get the corners to fit in so nice with the interior trim?? it looks so clean and good

[benemorius]

I wouldn't know about a coupe, but a dremel to remove some metal will get them in a hatch. If you do it just right you can even still get the plastic covers back on and have it look stock. Sorry no pics.

[wickiewicked_240sx]

You basically put a spacer between the original mounting hole and the speaker mounting plate. It needs to be thick enough to allow you to fit the speaker flush with the spacer.

[Felipe]

and i would still be able to fit the stock covers?

i still cant belive that no 1 has pix of this...

[PoorManQ45]

NO.

This will push th eactual speaker over an inch outward.

If you want to fit the stock cover you'r going to have to cut metal

[Felipe]

<~~~~~~ wants to cut metal

do you know what exactly or where the cuts should be made?

[PoorManQ45]

well you have to cut the hole large enough to fit a 6x9

[Felipe]

sounds simple enough... i would prob. have to drill new holes also...

[naed240sx]

This is my setup.



I plan on covering the board in black cloth so that the woodgrain is no longer visible.

[PoorManQ45]

Call me crazy, but I like the wood grain visible. Carry it through the rest of cabin and you'd have an awesome look

its no prob with a coupe i used a grinder tin snips and a dremel they look pretty tight.

well i couldn't find a pic good enough to show but here's how i did the doors... notic i took the ols factory crap out and wired the speakers to the existing harness (a lil troubleshooting to find the right ones thoigh) and damn they've got pioneer powah

[Felipe]

i was going to force fit them in the stock speaker erea, but i put tint on it covers them nice!

[Felipe]

limo tint!

^^^ hey do those 6x9 rattle the cover when you turn it up or does it sound like your car is falling apart ..that is what i was thinking of doing....

Probably does sound like ****.

You can get away with doing that if y ou don't have very good speakers though. Personally, my infinities would break that board within like 2 hours.

[UMS_CA18DET]

Heres how I did mine. Their pretty solid, no rattling noises what so ever.

[xckid]

Those the alpine Type R... How do they sound..those are the ones i would like to get

[Felipe]

it dosent... if it does just put a slim woodboard 1/2 inch w/ the 6x9 holes and get it as wide as the two rails....

I'm not into the whole sound system stuff, just wanted something better than stock. My brother works at Best Buy so I just got the 2nd Most expensive one they had their "Alpine Type R" the most expensive was the "Alpine Type R Composite". I have the 6.5" Type R's in the Front and the Type R 6x9 in the rear as you can see. I got the fronts for $77 and rears for $ 84 thats employee discount they are normally $160+ each set.

My head unit was a Pioneer 4700 before it got stolen. Soon I will replace it with a Pioneer 6800.

[logicTR]

heres what i did. its a pretty ghetto job but i did it this way because it was easy to take everything out for track days.

[PantherRacer]

Anybody have pictures of the risers or can direct me where to get them. (Or have a template?)

[BMAR240SX]

This is a good way to do it http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2218067/2 he did it the clean way
