R33 - 6x9's In Rear Side Panels..

[CaptainFresh]

So, has any one else done this?

these were done to the car before i got it. Had some Cheap ass Sony 110W 2 way speakers in there.

Replaced them with some Alpine type s about 6 months ago. When i pulled them out the hack job was poor at best...

Looks like they used tin snips and a hammer to get enough room. Had the speakers screwed straight to the panel.

Disconnected the factory rear speakers and installed a stupidly large twin 15"sub box which you had to slam the boot to get it to close..
( I took that out when i got home. it weighed 65kg )

I connected the factory rears up and they worked fine.

So all in all the guy was stupid.


I've kept it as it was and The quality is fairly good, minimal vibration, but a pain in the ass if you ever take any one in the rear etc.

Considered taking them out, replacing the panels etc. But the damage to the body is already there so may as well use it.


Not really any questions here, just more of a general, Check out this crap.

If you do have any suggestions etc I'd like to hear it.



( I apparently dont have any better photo's showing it with the speakers in.... )

Hi I am glad that no one did that to my car, someone had installed a large amp & Bass speakers that took up 1/2 the boot space.

Luckily it was easy to remove, & reset back to original.

It took me and my dad about 15 minutes to get the sub box out of the boot. I have no damn idea how he managed to get it in there.

Yes i have done this to a previous 34 , used Speaker spacers ,as no one sat in the back . We put Rockford Prime 6x9 running off the Headunit . very punchy sound ,Usually you go to a 6x9 from a 6 if you want more punch over clarity and dont want a sub . Going 6 x9 in the back and a sub in the boot ??? not really cricket .

Why not just do it properly and put them in the rear parcel shelf?

Yes they fit

[CaptainFresh]

They fit nicely by the looks of it. Might grab some new rear trims and swap mine over..

Couldn't afford rockfords at the time

Between the subs and the 6x9s

The bass was unbelievable. No clarity at all, it was horrible.

I tried mucking around with the amp setting and head unit setting etc. Couldn't get it any better...

[thewayweroll]

Parcel tray is a good place to put them also ,you may need to add some sound deadening to boot ,Alpine Type S components are dearer than Rockford Prime components .The Type s should give good clarity if you tune them a bit ?.Put all your Headunit setting in the middle and back the gains off the amp as a starting point .

.. I got rid of the subs and his 6x9s.

I got these Alpines for cheap as because they were the last set.

I have no issues now, got it all set up perfect .

There was no helping what was in it.
