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..

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
