Setting up slpits...

[leech_]

Hey guys,

Just a few questions about setting up some splits. I have some Alpine 176A 6 1/2" speakers. After a bit of stuffing around i have managed to mount the speakers fine but need a little advise on a few other things.

i am after ideas on were to mount the actual tweeter box. Have people mounted on the inside of the door or is it in the cabin main point is that their is not alot of room taking into account the window takes up a fair chunk when wound down...

also does anyone have a DIY guide to pulling wire through the gromets in the door eg were the rest of the cabling comes through as i am a little bit stuck on this part

anyways hope this makes some sence please let me know if it doesnt.

G'day Leech,

Those gromet things SUCK !! From what I could make out, they are a plug either side of where it goes into the car (not the door side), so you have to get the plug out and feed the wires through the spare holes !! I gave up after a while and just ran them beside it.

Hmm, not sure about space inside the door, I was running fully active - no passive cross over

LOL, drop into Autotech down the Hyper D and have a chat to John, John is on these forums sometimes. He had a R33 GTS-t with a very nice setup in it (sold it recently).

He is pretty switched on when it comes to stereo stuff and Skylines

My crossovers are in the doors.

Just cable tie them to something so they don't rattle and don't sit int the bottome of the door sill.

Depends where you 've put your tweeters, you only need to do this if your tweeters are mounted in the door. Otherwise stick em behind the dash and just run the midbase feed to the driver in the door.

Crossovers I just put in the box. My ones are made of some crazy material that don't rebound any sound from the actual speaker so thats good news.

If you do put em in try to mount them so the speaker doesn't deflect of it.

ok guys well after alot of well experimenting we have decided it is virtually impossible to get the grommet etc out then feed wire through etc etc so we have compromised so thanks for the feedback appreciate the advise
