Speaker Replacement

[travajante]

uy 6x9s. those could produce decent base but they are getting rarer and rarer as oem. i can only think of the nissan navara having them now as stock..for the fronts hehe.

when i needed spacers but did not have some. i used folded up cardboard from the box the speaker came in cut as spacers sadnwhiched between the screw hehe. most probably didn't do anything for the sound quality but it prevented the magnet hitting the glass.

The cardboard could crumble w/ moisture, sir. I needed some thickness & stability...good thing I had scrap sintra.

If you want a good sounding and simple car audio setup, you just need the following:

A decent HU
A pair of good separates (mids with tweeters plus crossovers)
A small subwoofer (10”) in a sealed enclosure
A 4-channel amp

You can forget about the rears as a properly-tuned system can make the necessary surround experience. Use MDF plywood for speaker spacers and the subwoofer box. If you can spend a bit more for deadening, go for it.

Budget will be the key factor. You can opt for the affordable models from brands like JBL or Pinoeer. If you want good quality car audio equipment, check out DLS or Focal or Morel.

+1, bai.[emoji106]. Can't afford the pricier brands[emoji852]...For spacers, I opt for something w/ better water resistance than wood-based boards, esp when done on doors.
Below was another DIY rehab w/ a bud who handed his old Fort's removed factory sub. This was forced into the 80's stock housing(1st pic shows how bad the speaker was). Definitely not direct fit, but worked nicely. Also replaced a busted relic, vintage USmade Pioneer amp, w/ an affordable newer version. Stock HU has no smartphone connectivity...just settled for a hobo Ugreen USB charger w/ BT-FM transmitter. It's now back to being roadtrip worthy....besides being the old loyal workhorse.
