front door speakers

[loud92CB7]

the stock pods are junk. there meant for the factory shit. make an mdf ring and get the best out of your speakers! yeah it can be moded to work but it wont sound good.

I cut the holes as close as i could to the new speakers. then, befor i screwed them on, i put a small bead of silicone around the hole.

Didnt install untill completely dry.

However, i used 5 1/4". I was planning to do this with 6 1/2" very soon.

Also, play each speker individually to make sure the pods dont leak (exept for the sound port). I couldnt tell you if the pods are nessecery, but all i know is the 5 1/4s sounded ALOT better in the pods. THey had much more output at higher volumes.

I plan on trying it both way, but with the 6 1/2". I like to try different shit, you know? Thats the best way for me to learn.

just cut the shit out and but big spacers so the window dont hit. got me some 6x9s.

[Jkid]

yeah man i say go down a size to 5 1/4 or take out the stock pod and put dem in dat way that's what i did.

I installed 6.5" in the doors, they are the best bang for the buck. The install was a snap.

1: Remove plastic pod
2: Buy or build .75 to 1.25" spacer( depending on speaker depth)
3: Notch spacer to run wire under
4: Dynamat door inside and out( especially inside behind speaker)
5: Install and enjoy ( no clearance problem with factory door panel )

Your main concern will be window glass clearance, check clearance before drilling.

If you need instructions to remove door panel, i can post that later.

I spy with my little eye...no sound deadning. So how much does your door panel vibrate? And your door isn't sealed well.

dude. 6 1/2 speakers fit perfect. i just installed some.

[Hiran's CE1]

Take the stock plastic speaker pods and cut the back off of them where all you are left with is the plastic circle that screws into the door. If still the 6 & 1/2 won't fit then trim some more. I had to make my own out of the stock speaker pods plus the mounting ring that was supplied with my component set. It took a little while with the trimming and everything but I finally got it to fit perfectly and they have sounded great ever since. Just pm me if you keep having problems and I can get some pics tomorrow or whenever you need them if you need some visual aids.

my door doesn't vibrate at all. i got hpf on all my door speakers. i can crank the hell out of them if theres no bass. i actually blew one but i guess it was only the bass part of it because now it sounds great.

i elimanated the black speaker grille and put a huge 250 watt kenwood 6x 9 and just put the speakers grille on it. I connected the crossover to a tweeter mounted by my headrest and man it made a big difference to have 6x 9 rather than 6 .5

Why would you fit 6x9s if you aren't going to use the extra surface area?

[ali954]

idn. i had some really shit old pioneers in there, and i have those same 6x9s in the back too. they were only $60 a pair from walmart and theyre 290 watt max.
