fitting new 130mm speakers in rear "doorboard"

[Tom_]

Any ideas? I get a new speakers http://www.powerbassusa.com/s-5c-525-components into Coupe, but now i am thinking about the fittment. OEM speakers are only turned on to the metal housing.





any ideas ? Or did someone something similar?

Thanks

maybe inform the forum on how you did it, so others with the same question can find the answer...

When I fitted mine back in 2003 I cut the lugs down on the speakers and tapered the edges to fit in the OE slots.

In my old Coupe I did exactly the same except I used some window/door draft sealant which you can buy a roll of from B&Q to put a seal between the metal of the panel and the speaker, both of which were metal.

I used a small metal screws,which i fitted into the "metal housing". And it hold it perfect,any chance to vibrate them and drop out..

It's important if you want good bass that you create an airtight seal between the edge of the speaker and the side panel using sealant, silicon, whatever. If you're keeping the metal adaptor plate that means sealing the metal to the side panel and then sealing your speaker to the metal plate.

No it isn't, this is all about why loudspeakers come in cabinets and not just sitting out on their own. To stop the sound wave from the rear of the speaker cancelling out the soundwave from the front of the speaker you have to mount the speaker in an infinate baffle (sealed cabinet) or a ported design where the rear soundwave is fooled into being constructive not destructive. By sealing the speaker to the panel you are trying to emulate an infinate baffle situation.

Hello everyone. Someone tried to do a sealed box for the rear speakers?

[Greg_S]

LHD_kid showed me his doors builds at ADI and he had made sealed enclosures for the front and rear. Looked really good, but does involve cutting the door cards

[Jamo]

No point for sealed enclosures for front door cards, a lot of work for little return.

I still have my Coupe custom door cards and speaker builds up for sale

[Ironman80]

On the front doors of experience there.


It is interesting to try to build in behind the rear cards for the subwoofer. Interestingly, the amount of which can receive.

Here's an interesting decision to place the amplifier in this place. I want to put in place the subwoofer if the amount is sufficient.


I guess I had to start a new topic "fitting subwoofers in rear "doorboard"

Sorry for bad English.

...."fitting subwoofers in rear "doorboard"

that was my plan as well. I hope to be able to fit in 6" woofers (I have a pair Tangband W6-1139 for this)
