Help !!! Stereo

[TiNTiN]

ok im just about to get some 6x9 pionner 240w for my skyline r33 gtst

and i have no idea on how to remove the speakers behind the passenger seats

also will 6x9 fit in the back slots if i remove the original speakers of will i need to get a patial shelf made ?

[GOR33]

haha this i know:) 1st take out the bottom part of the back seat, unscrew the bolts and pull up the seat- bit treaky just take ya time. then look for the clips holding in the back upright part and pull it out. then you should be able to get to the parcle tray. i think the covers may just come off, but iff not then u may have to unscrew stuff, then the speakers in the pods should unscrew, but if you wana put in 6x9s then you will have to unscrew the whole pod, take out the tray and cut holes for the new speakers. i would use the parcel tray to mark out a new one on thicker mdf, as it will support the speakers better and give better base response!!!

try that and get bak to us:)

so ur saying i have to take out the back seat all together then i can get to the speakers in the back.. ? then im gonn have to cut a hole in the shelf to be able to fit in the 6x9

more bigger of a job than i thought

thanks for the help

[GOR33]

yeh pretty much, taking out the seat lets you take out the parcel tray so u can cut holes

its a few hour job bro...........have fun:)

i wouldn't suggest cutting anything... just make a new parcel shelf.. can take it out later and will not affect anything structural within the car!

Installing 6x9's in the back parcel shelf will be a bitch; you will have to cut the metal to fit the speakers in, your better off just popping in some 6 inch splits. once u get the back seat out, there is little room to work on the parcel shelf because of the back windshield, and not much room again to get in from the boot.

agreed! I have done those speakers in the rear of a 33. it involved a new parcel shelf AND

removing a FAIR BIT of metal to make them fit. put a decent set of 6.5"speakers in there and leave it.

to get the shelf out you need to remove the rear seat. the instructions above are correct.

with it out the shelf unclips and pulls forward. remove any restraint bolts that may be in the way.

any questions email me.

i didn't have to cut anything

ran a parcel shelf of 18mm MDF then a small lifter piece to bring up the area around the 6X9's to 36mm... fits perfect

i'll take a photo tomorrow and post it up!

[djhatton]

why do you want 6x9's? i feel that you'll get far better sound out of other forms of speakers. the whole design of 6x9's is a compromise imo.

[Chris Rogers]

agreed.

6x9s in the parcel shelf are shit, waste of time and money

see a real car audio dealer get some 6" coax speakers

6x9's arent as good as 'normal' good speakers. But if you already have them take comfort in the fact they are good performers for their price.

Whatever you do don't cut metal. God it frightens me how many people butcher their cars. Fit it properly like Craved!!!

Metal cutting is illegal for a reason.. and more importantly because it compromises the structural integrity of the car. You get more flex, it rusts, looks ugly, could possibly end up cutting your head off in an accident, and practically invalidates Nissan's testing of it under pressure/load/crash situations.

Why would you take your car away from the blueprint for something worse?

Jeez.
