I tried getting rid of the plastic mount, i gave up coz i felt like i was going to break something trying to take the panel off, i unscrewed and unpluged everything i could see and it still didnt wanna come off, you get enough room to mount most speakers if you got an mdf partition, and there is still enought clearance from the grill with this partition. To make mine i just traced around the factory speakers, cut it out, drill where the factory holes are then cut my 4" into the new partition, this has plenty clearance from the grill and the plastic pod, i even sat a crossover in the bottom of the door.

the original plastic speaker mount also has a silastic stuff holding/sealing it to the door..

i cant remember the measurement of the pioneer splits (they are a beefy speaker), but they fit well and sound good. the tweeter is on a custom pod on the inside morror panel, bit far away from the mid (might be messing with imageing) but the panel had holes in it and needed covering..

I still cant work out how to get the damn door trim off, the bastards stuck, it just wont move, so i cant put in mdf panel like you guys have, so i made a mount the same size of the factory speaker and mounted my speaker in that.

wheres it getting stuck?

have a look at the pics i attatched and follow the instructions

1 - there are 2 screws on the part that goes up against the dash

2 - then u hvae to remove the door handle surround use a little bit of force dont be scared to force it

3 - there is one in the little pocket

4 - there are 3 along the bottom

now gently pull the door trim from the bottom towards you so all the clips can pop out then lift it upwards and it should slide off

:D

i agree with booster 12mm is good enough for 6.5 inch splits, you can resize the original trim to fit if you want, however just remember that splits sound different to 6x9's in the rear, i personally like 6x9's in the rear because it offers tighter bass to go from the sub.

the reason why people put splits all round there car is simply for competition, thus the cross over network sends high frequenices to the tweeter and low frequencies to the woofer enabling less distortion then 6x9's.....

however in a car that is only used for in car audio 6x9's honestly sound good when mounting them in the rear they are not that hard to do, if you want i can put them in for you (if you are on the coast and give me a slab of beers)...

and mtopx would of been better if you got them tilted at 30-45 degrees as well :D

yeah, thanks for the help dude.. but im fine fitting and setting up the correct sound stage in the car, just doing a bit of research on the project ahead.. I would personally use coaxial's over splits, but the quality of splits these days is very good. (that would be a good dicussion point there in itself). But anyways.. thanks for the help guys..

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
