Hello fellow Scoobie,

I've just bought the following speakers (16.5 cm) for £37 for a Blobeye and need some advice:-

ENCM65 - Car Audio/Stereo - Car Audio/Stereo Accessories - Fusion - Fusion Car Audio 6.5" Component Speaker System 240 Watts Max

The kit contains the main speakers plus tweeters and 2 cross-overs.

My questions are as follows:-

1. Can't be bothered to make MDF adaptors so where can I buy the Corsa ones (a model number would be great ) and will they fit 16.5 cm speakers?

2. Will I need to fit the cross-overs as well or can I just fit the speakers and tweeters to the existing wiring?

I'm on a roll at the moment after fitting a rear spoiler, front lip spoiler, stickers and boost gauge so any help would be much appreciated

 

Corsa Adaptors will only fit 13cm speakers, you will have to fit crossovers ( i fitted them in the door on the underside of my door arm rest). Presuming you have component speakers.

 

Yup, it's MDF time.

The original tweeters had a thingy (technical term) to only allow high frequencies past, your new ones don't and therefore require the crossovers.

 

Ok MDF it is then

I assume I just need to find the Live & Earth wire from the existing wiring and then that goes into the Input of the cross-overs, then use the wiring for the new speakers to connect the new main speaker and tweeter.

 

I think I might have those

Indeed they are the same set of speakers which I bought after reading your thread

I ordered them via the Ripspeed website and paid £37 for collection at Halfords who were selling them for £50

Any advice you can give me on fitting these is much appreciated.

Did you fit the cross-overs on the door underneath the arm-rest?

I've bought some sound deadening but only 2 sq metres at the moment - I assume I will need to cut 6 inches off the plastic door lining and then stick the sound deadening around the metal where the speakers will be going?

 

Put it under the plastic, it will peel back.
