crossover on doorcard picture?
Hi folks,
I remember seeing a picture of a component install where the person had fitted their crossovers attached to the door card rather than the door itself. There was a picture of the install and I can't find it at the moment. Anyone know where it is? |
Some tosser did a guide to fitting 'speakers, and put it in the FAQ where no-one ever goes...

http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthread.php?t=425035 yes and some other tooser took simular advice and ended up with water damaged crossovers not ALL crossovers will fit behind the door card, which one's have you got. My Rainbow crossovers wouldnt, Infinity no problems my advice would be to bring the crossover back in the car, bit more fiddley and I would keep the cable as short as possible I would also like to get more than one persons views rather than reading a FAQ ;) on my last install I also used Skins with the speakers ... they are brilliant stop the speakers getting water in :) |
Skins... where from, what do they look like?

Errr, don't you need to put them in FRONT of the plastic to protect them from water damage?...
|
Here's mine.... (all Sound Proofed too) :)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...y/adad3eba.jpg Crossover glued into place - But did cut the plastic round the cross over for that very reason NVG. :thumb: |
And here's my attempt :)
http://www.iainbyoung.co.uk/images/m...ityinstall.jpg The crossover does need to be on the interior side of the plastic membrane (as pictured), as it's the other side that can get wet. To the chap who stretched his membrane over the crossover, I'd change it if I were you :) |
Iain, that looks like a bracket made from a PC case blank. is it? :)
I actually used some self-tapping screws and bolted mine to the door in the same position as Iain. Stefan |
How did you guess? I knew those old computer self-build spares would come in handy for something :D

http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/pro...s_id/4396.html skinz ;) - my speakers came with a 5 year warranty if I used them
just give it a check, its obvious when the water is getting at it, I got rid of the membrane in the end |
Mine are fitted on the panel side just into the oblong shaped hole above the speaker.
They 'Were' Velcroed onto the back of the door panel, which not only held them, but allowed you do 'unpick' them when you removed the panel. Iain, why have you got chrome handles??? |
Are Skinz any good then? How do they fit? It all looks a bit iffy.

(I'll get my coat) |
I ve had to scrap 1 set of x overs of a door before that were hot glue gunned in, broke one thank god it wasnt the door - velcro is my weapon of choice
:) skinz : well my Rainbow speakers extended the waranty if I used - i liked them |

pink door card hooks
Anyone know the part number for the pink doo card parts seen below? My MY01 only has one! Not sure if it has fallen out.
Cheers Also the plastic membrane... anyone know where I might find a replacement? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...by/N-SDoor.jpg |
mine only had one as well.. weird
if no one has mentioned its far easiyer to get the door cards back on when the windows are down |

I see there are 3 screws rather than four on it; where do these fit, or are they self tapping? Finally are they 60.5Cs speakers - mine are 56mm deep and I wonder if they need the spacer at all. http://www.iainbyoung.co.uk/images/i...ollarfront.jpg http://www.iainbyoung.co.uk/images/i...collarback.jpg |

Yes, they are 605 cs. Without the spacer, the window will not wind down (the mechanism hits the magnet at the rear of the speaker). Thanks Iain. Apparently a Corsa ring will fit my car, but not the earlier classics due to the slightly different shape of the door pockets. I expect the use of the door-handle tweeter position will compensate for the reportedly slightly bright nature of the speakers. One final question - did you change the position of the tone contouring switch? I can't even prise open the crossovers, but might have another go if they definitely sound better switched! |
No I dnd't change anything. I just used them as they were when they came out of the box. Sound ok to me :)
|
im fitting a set of speakers, onto door pods but having probs getting into the door lolz
choice is the tweeters in the centre of the speaker, sounds good that way i wont have more wires in car but as said i cant or shud say have no clue to remove the cards 95 impreza wrx with sti trim/door cards |
