Hiya...
Can anyone help me out with max speaker depth i can have on 2002 WRX. I notice that some of the infinity's are shallow mounting mut i was thinking of getting SPL and dont know if they are going to fit...

Please Help, Laura

 

max speaker depth using an 18mm MDF spacer is 77mm and putting the door card back on was very tight

 

scooby-tc , I would + your response if I could m8

How much were you looking to spend on drivers Laura, and will they be amped (HU amplification doesn't count )?

edit-I see you opened a thread for this, no need to duplicate work here, cheers

 

Like this you mean

Here is what i did in my 05 Spec C and believe me the weight increase is minimal

Here is a quick guide to what i did in my Blobeye.Now you obviously wont install the exact same setup as me but mine does have sensational sound quality and balance with massive midrange and bass

Firstly i removed the standard things they call speakers



Then i fully dynamatted the doors and made up 18mm thick MDF spacers



then i fitted a set of Focal 165K2P component speakers




Then came the build for the subwoofers which comprised of a fibreglass enclosure built into a false floor behind the passenger front seat,dynamatted floor.The subs are JL8w3 and everything is powered by a JL 300/4 amplifier



covered



and the system was finished off with a Kenwood DDX7029 headunit



might be of interest,might not but i thought id share my experiences

 

Thanks everyone... I am going to run the speakers off an amp and am looking at max of £150 really...
So 77mm is my max is that right? Doesnt leave me too many options i dont think (

 

I think you have quite a few options, if you look at the mounting depth of a 6020cs, which fits easily in your car with 12mm mdf, then anything this mounting depth or less will be fine.

BTW, seen you over on talkaudio - the advice you get over there will be spot on, if I was you I would choose something other than the Infinity's.

 

iknow it was a while ago but did you not having problems cover the locking and handle mechanisms up. ive got the gear to do it but it looked like this was in the way to do a full covering

 

put a small layer of foam over the mechanisms then dynamat over the top that way nothing at all gets stuck

 

thanks. but when you say foam. what type

 

Just a thin layer of any type of foam it doesnt really matter as all its doing is preventing the mechanisms from getting stuck to the dynamat.Failing that you can lay the dynamat over the top and cut round the mechanisms but that is a bit time consuming

 

thanks mate. ill give it a go at the weekend
