Hey guys.

I know that the factory speakers are 6.5in with a depth of 57mm.

However I am looking at a pair of speakers, the Polk Momo 650, and they have a depth of 61.8mm.

I am looking to run a set of these both in the front and the rear of my GTR33.

I am wondering if the extra 5mm will fit in there with little issue? Or do I really need to find a different speaker with less depth?

Thanks a lot for the help guys!

I've never pulled my door panels off yet, so i dont know what's behind them,

But when you add the 6mm MDF Spacer, wont this push the speaker out into the speaker grill? Or is there empty space between the speaker and the grill normally, which you make use of?

easier to remake the pod. then you can fit whatever you need to. in regard to the polk speakers. 20mm total thickness will do it. be sure when you make the new pods that you put the pocket end back on.

Chris, are you talking about the pod inside the door, removing that and making custom?

yep. when you pull one apart next have a close look at it. what I am saying will then make sense.

mine even reuse the stock mounting bolts.

tried the way you do them got a complaint that a garage remote went into the door so I changed how I did them. no hassles now.

the R33 that i put the Alpines into had the factory pods, we made a 6mm speaker ring to sit inside that. took 10min max to make a cardboard template, trace that onto the MDF, cut the MDF, sand the edges to get rid of the flash, and screw straight in with the speaker - into the factory holes.

only reason we took the factory pod off was to put sound deadening on the door and inside the door.

ok I see what you are doing. they won't clear the back of the pod. for a 6.25" (IE alpine) that would work. when you put a 6.75 (IE VDO or Blau) it doesn't. thats why I remake that pod. the MTX ones will drop into those holes easily as well. done a few of those.

as a second for this..

the vdo mps1700 splits sound great in an r33 and offer awesome bang for buck

whats the mounting depth of VDO and Blau (havnt installed them as yet) I know Fusion 6" are bloody deep, probably a smidge deeper then Type R's

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.

      Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.

      Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.

      There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
