[Mk2] [Turbo] fitting 6.5inch speakers

Post by Hez »

hi everyone i got a set of infinity reference components for the front doors on my mk2, ive searched the forums and people have fitted these with a spacer, but im not sure how this works as surely a bigger spacer wont line up with the screw holes, has anyone got any photos or a template for a 6.5 inch front door setup on a mk2.
cheers :cry:

You'll also have to cut out some of the doorcard, make a couple of spacers out of mdf mount these to the door then simply screw your speakers to the mdf spacers.

The door cards need some of the excess plastic cutting out where the old speaker would of sat.

Hi,

I thought you would only need spacers if the speakers were in the way of the window? :-k :-k :-k

Mounted 6" infinities in mine and only needed to cut a foam ring for anti-vibration, meaning that I didn't need to touch the door cards.
