R33 S1 Speaker Question!

[dr1ft3r]

hey, im curious as to what size speakers people have put into their r33's. ive been told that only 6" is all that fits. and by others that 6.5" and 7" fits perfect. ive found some 6.5" splits for the front that i like. but want to know for sure if they'll fit or not first. also what fits in the parcel tray. thanks people!

hey man

i think 6.5" splits will fit in the front. well im guessing they would!!

but in the rear i think you'll have to go with some 6x9's!

but don't take my word for it, could very easily be wrong!!

[cheez]

i got 6" in the front, they fit perfect, cant see why u cant put 6.5" in with little modificatin.

in the back i got 6x9's but i need spacers. i then recarpeted the shelf and make it look like its a moulded parcel. will get pics of shelf if u want but inregards to front shouldn't be a prob.

6" (6.25 on stock mounts) front - 6.75 rear. with custom mounts anything is possible. 6x9s - no no without a LOT of work.

[LOOF]

I got 6.5 inch splits in the front and 6 inch 3 ways in the rear. 6X9s wont fit unless you cut the parcel shelf

Do 6.5" speakers fit, with out modification?

6.5" will fit if you make an MDF ring to sit them on.

6x9s in parcel shelf are easy. did them last week for -R33GTS- All you need is spacers and they sit perfectly.

So you need a MDF spacer to pull the speaker away a bit, is that so it fits in the hole - or so the back of the speaker doesnt hit the inside of the door?

I'm thinking this is what fhrx did here:

[Cleutin]

yep.

when i did R33GTS's spacers i made a template so i can just make them when ever i need to without having to measure up again. pretty much the same as Fhrx's. i used 6mm MDF and i had no worries.

for the 6x9 spacers, he already had a set in, but 16mm spacers would work a treat if u were to buy pre made ones.

[Chris Rogers]

only things with the ones FHRX show is this. pull your door off, note where the tab is on the back. that is the door pocket seal. with the ones pictured that block is gone and anything in the door pocket goes straight into the door. I usually make an exact copy of them that way you dont loose things.

hi mate can u tell me where i can get some spacers off the internet for my 6x9s to go in my rear shelf r33series1gtst

thx ray

[Chris Rogers]

not really that easy. 6x9s are not all the same shape. make them its fairly easy..

[dnbutts]

im probably going out to buy a set of 6" to fit in the front + rear on the weekend and will be running off an amp. Anyone know if Alpine do a 6" speaker? Would preferably like to go with Alpine but all i can find is 6.5"

[Chris Rogers]

they do 6" Type S will go in easily with a bit of modding.

[DRD-00F]

sadly, i can confirm that... 6" type S fit fine without any mods... straight replacement...
