mmm, looks like 6.5 split is the more popular way
just to get ideas...
anyway, i also think 6x9's make creepy sound - i hear voices that tell me to kill people (it is quite disturbing (yet funny) if you find out that you've accidentally torn three peoples nipples completely off the previous night, plus that cop car in your garage that's still flashing this morning)

too late she cried!!!!Gary57 wrote:I think VeeCee should fit some 6.5" mids and do another How-To so I know.
its done, i've got that t-shirt, and there was not a camera in sight, but what i could do is strip out my equipment, start again and take some pics. but that would cost a few beers.
another thing - widow - you wierd. sometimes i think you should be locked up!!!
another thing - 6x9's are crap in my opinion. but i have no fact to back it up.
i installed 6.5" splits. the mids replaced the original crappy things, i threw the molds out long before that, so i didnt have to modify.
i first installed them with makeshift spacers. this was to prevent the magnets hitting the glass when down - as toby referred too. it worked mostly, but when you closed the door with the windows down, they rattled against the magnets. the speaker suspension rubber was also touching the door card, so it sounded distorted at high volume.
instead i removed them, built a fancy spacer out of 12mm MDF, and attached that with self-crapping screws to the door frame. the spacer was fancy because it fits in there with modding the door card clips and things.
i then cut a hole into that and mounted the speaker to that. no problem. no touching on glass, no touching on door panel, very solid, and no distortion...
but... i had to remove the original speaker covers, and trim the hole into a round shape that matched the mids... i haven't gotten around to covering the ugly holes yet.
and i mounted the tweeters at the top of the door card!

for you, i'll take a photo of the template that i used with a ruler of some sort, so you get an idea for dimensions.Gary57 wrote:I think I will try get some 6.5" mids in there.
its a strange shape, but it worked for me. the 6.5's sound great, but i've had to modify my door cards - important point that. i couldnt use the original speaker mesh covers!
