Now on to my front speaker mod.
As most of you know the front door speakers in our G50's ( well at least in mine ) is 4 inch Bose speakrs in a plastic box with the built in amps. Which sound good but if you are like me and like to listen to your music loud then you know the factory bose speakers dont really like that.
Most of the reason I decided to replace all my speakers is both rear speakers were blown when I purchased the car and I had all the speakers and amps from my last car so why not use it.
I replaced the rear speakers with some TMA 6X9's and the front speakers are TMA 6 1/2's with crossover. For now the speakers are run through the factory wiring until I finsh my trans but it will be ran to either a Jenson or TMA 4 channel amp
No in order to fit the 6 1/2's up front I started off by removing the door panel and the factory speaker box.
With all that out of the way it was time to make cover to mount your new speaker.
I used cardbord to make the shape that I wanted
From there I transferd the shap to 1/4 MDF and cut it out, after that I drilled out the holes and mounted it to make sure it fit well, I used the factory speaker box bolt holes to mount it
After that it was time for wiring I decided to keep the Bose tweeters but I would need to tap into the wiring so I could run that to the crossover which I mounted inside the door. From there the speaker and the imput ( which would be the factory door wiring for now) would need to be ran.
Once you are done with that you can take your new cover and cut out a hole to mount your speaker the best thing about this is u can use whatever size speaker you want as long as you can clear the window I had the 6 1/2's so I used them but even if I didnt have them I still would have went with 6 1/2's
Next screw the speaker to the cover and mount it to the door then re-install the door panel and enjoy
I will have more pics up tomarrow
