Hi can anyone tell me what size of speaker adaptors i need for front doors 6-1/2" and rear 5-14" and wear to buy cheers

 

i fitted vide slick 60s all round on my hawkeye, last yr.

6.5" on front 5" on rear with spacers i may add,

i used the spacers from here to make sure they fitted with no probs.

and sak40 for the rears,

but have also heard that corsa 3 spacers from halfords also fit.

cheers tom

 

highly recommend something like above, i tried mdf spacers, its just a headache, so i have something like these on order now.

just be careful what front speakers you buy, anything big and powerful will have huge magnets, and may fowl the door glass. it can be done, but more work involved, and im sick of mine. no door cards on the car for a few weeks now, but thats more to do with my long hours at work, and the crappy weather.

 

On the other hand, both my fronts and rears sit on home made mdf spacers and have done for 5 years

The ones on the rear shelf are covered with proper stuff from an ICE dealer, and the fronts have been triple coated with paint. I checked the fronts when I checked the door cards a fortnight back and they are still perfect.

 

I fitted a set of Vibe 6 1/2'' compnents last year using Corsa III adaptors. They were about £15 from Halfrauds and fitted no problem.

 

did these come with the wiring connector and is it the same as the impreza connector?

cheers

Daniel, you need to cut the subaru connector off and splice in a new cable from there. That feeds the crossover then it's 2 outputs from there for the tweeter and mid.
Easy job i have my crossovers velcro'd onto the back of the door card at the back, there's a huge area for it to sit.

 

thanks for that, getting all the info up together

 

are these the addapters to use

thats great thanks

 

they should be ok, as there used in lots of car speaker installs, very popular due to there size and shape.

there are specific ones, which i needed as i have big speakers, but unless your installing something with 60mm depth or bigger, then youll be fine (found in speakers usually £120+ 6.5comps)

 

thats great, I dont think they are that deep.

 

expect a long wait, over 3 weeks and still waiting.

no response from seller, rather anoying.

 

Are you reffering to the adaptors from ebay here http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/6-Spe...fAudioQ5fVideo

If so I ordered some when you posted a link and they arrived last week so you should have yours soon.

 

Yes same ones, still waiting

 

so the ones on ebay and the ones in halfords there both ok then as im wanting some

 

yes they fit no probs as its the ones on ebay i have in mine,

 

i bought them and the rears too came in 5 days

 

same for me , came in about a week.

 

must be a one off, i really need these, its slowing my whole install up, been almost a month
