Hey all, Im looking for some suggestions on front 6.5 component sets for a 2k maxima W/bose...i have a set of orions p6.2s but they are too deep and will not allow me too roll down the window all the way... i lookin for a slimmer speaker, no buldging or nothing? also if anyone knows someone who sells online VIA paypal?, or if they are on ebay...lol i have too pay through pay pal..... just looking for a good set...my price range 250 or less, including shipping.... i need to buy these asap i already have the car rewired, just no front speakers, grrrrr any help id appreciate it.

 

make a 3/4" spacer out of mdf or buy a kit at BB for $13.

 

Def make them yourself. They are actually very easy to make. And cheap if you have a sander and jig saw or know someone who does. It will cost you a peice of MDF, around $9 and some time. The BB route is a good one if you don't have the tools.

 

allright thanks, ill check it out....i do have all the tools..... the idea of this spacer is too attach too the stock white mount, to just stick the speaker out an extra 3/4 inch correct? i had the idea cross my mind, but just if there was enough room or not i was not sure....but im going to check it out! ethir get too work or drive too BB :O im not great at circles yet with the jig saw

 

trace teh speaker

 

Isn't there a way to convert the factory speakers into a bracket so that the speaker clears the window?

 

Yes but it's a total PITA.

 

The spacer attaches to the doors sheet metal. You don't have to be perfect with the circles as they will be covered up. If you use 3/4" MDF you will need to trim the plastic on the actual door panel. Also very easy if you have a Dremmel or equivilent. I have a ton of pics I can email you of my install. The speakers suround will come into contact with the plastic if you don't trim it. PM me if you want the pics.

Good reason for the thread jack. You will be able to hear a few of these if you can make it. It would be great to have you there!

 

i sent you both a PM fil and kpr...but on a side note i made my spacers earlier, they came out good, i surpised myself...was a peice of cake....even the circles lol.... but just waitin on some pictures to get some trimming ideas, even tho i only had too use a 1/2 spacer, the panel around the speaker is a bit bulky...still snaps but a tad bulky.... also the centra florida meet, im going too try and make it....... i should be able too, we will see......
