Rear Speaker tubs

Here it is inside..... You can see it does lay on it, but with it being light weight plastic, and spray foam it forms around it without issues...

so you had to cut the pot at an angle to make it do that, and dent the side. I would still just get the EX pods.

[mrewing]

no cutting of the pot, it bends really easy. ex pods for 6x9's would be nice, but this cost me like 5 bucks.... and sounds really good

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

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 don't remember an aluminum basket... (it was years ago i put them in, and i no longer have the car...) I do remember having the magnet sort of wedged against one of the springs... But I didn't have to cut any sheet metal...

Nice Wright up! You can make those out of fiberglass two or they sell plastic pods made just for that purpose two...... nothing like a DIY tho.....

I have Type-R's in my LX, I'm using EX pods. I didn't have to cut or trim anything at all.

I guess I'll be the odd man out, I've seen a LOT better.

Also most car audio speaker manufacturers design their speakers to be ran IB (infinite baffle)...

True they do, but this has made a difference in sound quality.

Box building programs? My trunk has none of the original plastic trim nor the floor cardboard/carpet... so I was just gonna go with some thin MDF wood mixed with some fiber glass and make a custom trunk.

I dont understand whats really going on here. Should'nt the 6.5 fit every were ?

[lilg4mdalbc]

Well one thing is the width, and another factor is the depth. The size of the magnets can get in the ways of the windows or trunk rails.

[mrewing]

Very true about the 6.5's I put some larger amp 6.5's in my doors and right now there not working to well. I can roll my windows all the way down due to the magnets... Im gonna end up buying some slim mount ones. and as for the rear deck, I dont know why but all the 6.5's Ive tried to put back there was a little larger than the plastic housing... So thats why I had to cut them a bit. (thought maybe it was for 6" only) but the pots just add a little deeper clearer bass for the rear and helps with the rattle.
