I've only seen or heard about two ways to do this..

either just cut out the parcel tray enough to fit in the speakers (then use rubber surrounds or something if you like).. or I've also seen a guy build a kinda box for the shelf - the speakers were on like a 30 degree angle facing the cabin. It was quite interesting, looked pretty sweet, and worked :) (just be sure to cut the centre in order to see through your review mirror.

otherwise just go buy a couple of 6/6.5s :) I prefer them over 6*9s anyway

i think they might sound better in the little boxes?

i have alpine type r 6" round speakers in the factory holes in my R33 and they sound shocking.... no bass at all from them and i think its because there not sorta sealed in a box kinda thing??

go for 6 inches if you are gonna have a sub or 2 if not go 6x9's [got to have bass =)]

best thing to do is make a new tray out of the thickest mdf u can fit ...

mount it back in with some bolts and foam tape <-- to stop any vibration ...

the more solid your parcel tray is the better ...

i will be trying to do this on the weekdend aswell as sound deaden the doors a fix the crazy rattles comming from my boot

cause at the moment my car sound like a marca on steroids =(

oh and whatever you do make sure you cater for child restraints its illegal not to have them !!!

just out of curiousity whats the front stage of you system like???

You serious?  That sucks as I can't put them back in :D

I realised that after i put in my speakers too.

I have the same setup as elbee.

I wouldnt recommend hacking into your parcel tray. looks a bit messy and once u do it its doen foreever..

I got a thick bit of mdf, and basically cut it to shape using the existing parcel tray. Has to be slightly smaller coz it sits higher, and the angle of the window comes into it. The wood is about 2 cm thick. sat the 6x 9s into it. There isnt much room to move and play with, and the speakers sit at a 45 degree angle like in elbees pic.

Thick wood and a bit of foam tape around the bottom to stop it vibrating from the bass the sub pumps out and your set.

Sounds really good.

Might be an idea to cut some holes into it and cover it with carpet or vinyl so the boot isnt completely sealed. Want to let some sound waves through!

Too late now :) I think I'll look into it when I install an amp / sub...

ATM it still looks like I have three harness mounts, I re-used the original grills so I could retain the top half of the harness mounting (held on using double sided velcro). If I get told off for it, I'll replace it then.

Thanks for your help though :)

no its not you need one for each seatbelt so three in total

Hmm, I just finished installing some JBL 3 way 6's in the back and now the metal brackets for the child restraints don't fit as the tweeters get in the way :cheers: any ideas?

just installed 6 inch cones in my rear parcel shelf with a subbie and my system is rocking. Just remember when you cut into the rear parchel shelf (The metal) your car can be defected for it.

u can also b rejected when u go for your pink slip then u would have 2 weld in a new shelf.....is illegal 2 cut any meyal in your shelf

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
