    Rear Speaker tubs

    Ok, So I love my sound, I have read multiple books on car audio ect... to best fit my car with some of the clearest sound possible. Today I got board and decided to go out and make my rear speaker *rattle* go away while keeping good sound.

    Ok I have some 6.5" Visonik 4 way Full range speaker sitting in the back. (A set I had sitting around) I had to shave down the original plastic casing the speakers sit in because these are a lil bigger... (Ugly, but does the job)

    To do this job I used:
    10mm ratchet
    philips screw driver
    2x plastic flower pots ($0.50 yard sale)
    1x can vinyl & fabric paint



    ok First I took the speakers out the car and then apart (you can see they are blue with gray fabric)




    Here you can see the cut to fit the speakers...

    Here are the pots


    Testing the fit

    Here it is now painted black


    and the foam in the pot ( I know its hard to see but its not completely full, I layered the bottom, and then hit the sides... I can stick my fist down inside)


    Here is the first one done and ready to be put back (I cut a hole in the side for the wires to pass thru)

    And here they are side by side before and after


    Ill update this after both are done and put back to let you know about the sound difference.

      I thought of that as well but there is actually enough room, I will get pics when there installed.

        Awesome!

        In my old EX sedan the 6x9 alpine type R's would actually rub against the springs... maybe there is just that much more wiggle room with the 6.5"!

            Howd you even get them to fit? The fatty aluminum baskets dont even fit in the pods or thru the pear shaped holes in the metal of the rear deck

              Its dark now or Id take pics, But I got the first one put back in..... With it being foam, and soft plastic plant pot I was still able to bend it a little... I DID have to fold the back seat down to allow enough room.... But it did slip in there with the studs sticking down just enough to get the nuts back on and then tighten them in.... And Honestly its WELL WORTH the work.... Just the 1 put back in the rear sounds as if they both were back in there (without the rattle)

                I was thinking the same thing but I would hope he had enough sense to test fit all that shit. Interesting idea though none the less.

                    oh i believe that your 6.5 baffles will fit, sorry i meant dude with his type-r 6x9s. As I had to replace some 6x9 infinity's with..type-r's. I spent all sorts of time trimming my 6x9 pods to accept the type-r's and I went to throw them in and they dont fit thru the sheet metal. So I got some 1" MDF and 3/4 inch traced the pod shape and will mount the 6x9s to that and itll raise the speaker up enough so that the magnets a little below the sheet metal and theyll fit. The infinitys barely fit I had to trim about an inch off the drive side torsion spring for the magnet to clear on those..

                      I'm trying to figure this out too, because if you put too deep of speakers in the pods you WILL hit the bars. So I suspect he removed them or modded the rear deck.

                              Then why don't you get EX 6x9 pods and call it a day?
