Well today was the day, when me and Mr_G (forum member) installed these wonderful Hertz HSK 165 6.5 inch spilts into my car (Series 2 R33), into stock pods!!
I will give a breif outline of what had to be done and will post up pics as neccessary..
First Step: getting the door trims off, and stock speaker pods.. (im sure this section is covered in one of the tuts somewhere)
Edit: this thread will explain how to - just scroll down abit.. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=152623
So now it Looks like this:
Next step, modifing the stock pods, so the 6.5inch spilts can fit!!
This requires to get the angle grinder off and trying to grind off some of the plastic.. Im sure once your put the speakers into the pod, you will know exactly what to grind off.. Also grind the plastic at the back, so the magnet can easily fit in!!
You can also buy some mdf and trace out the stock pods onto it and use the mdf as the baffel.. Will require more work.. But stock pods do it fine for now!!
Now the hard bit-where to mount the tweeter?? After asking a lot of people, i decided to mount them, where the mirrow pannel goes.. The triangle near the window.. If you get what i mean.. So the tweeter is still in front of you..
The other option was to flush mount it in into the door trim.. Or down at the kick pannel..
Just be careful when puttin the tweeter into the cup holder!! The hertz cup is a bit tight, making it very hard to put the tweeter in.. Either that, or we were meant to read the manual for instructions.. hahah!!
Next step, was to solder speaker wire onto the driver as well as the tweeter.. the hertz did not supply longer speaker wire thats why.. Hmm think Mr_G can shed some light and maybe tell us what exactly had to be done..
Also it might help if you had a wiring diagram.. This is in the tut section i beleive..
Anyways, after that, wire it all up, put the door trims back on, and all the screws and bam, you got yourself some awesome sounding Hertz..
To those people who told the tweeters are a little to bright, i did not find this at all!! These speakers are very good and im really impressed with them.. Do note, im only running these speakers from my headunit (alpine 9835) so only gettin 23watts each.. It can handle 125watt contiounes... SO also having a proper amp and some deading will insure better quailty, but for now it does the job very well.. Its true these drivers have a good midbass..
Overall i rate these speakers very highly and would recommened it to anyone..
I just hope these pics work..
if not, will post them in next reply..
ALSO a big thank you to Mr_G for helping and doin most of the work lol.. thanks dude, couldnt have done it witout ya..
Cheers..
