Simple, cheap install.

I don't think you'll need any speakers in the dash, they aren't 3.5" anyway though are they? they are odd rectangular fitment, you can get speakers this shape that will drop striaght in though.

I'd forget the speakers in the dash, and just run the door speakers, which are indeed 5.25", get some nice 2ways for the doors, and then keep your 6x9's in the parcel shelf.

Remember, I would never run 6x9's, but its your money and your car, you can choose not to have a sub if boot space is that important to you.

Take it easy.

what you mean there a odd shape in the dash, there round couldnt be any rounder.

 

Mine weren't round, they were oval.

what's the difference between coaxial speakers and components then?

 

make sure especially if running a sub you remove the 6x9's as they get damgaged from subs under them and it's not hard to fit 5.25" components in the front tweeters in dash mids in doors

 

yep, that's the plan.
no sub, 6x9's in the back, 5.25" + tweeters in the front.

 

Coaxials have the woofer and tweeter integrated onto a single chassis, usually with a built-in crossover. Components have a separate woofer and tweeter (2-way), orwoofer, mid and tweeter (3-way) - most components have a separate ("off-board") crossover unit.

 

nice one, i'd guessed as much but thanks for the clarification

 

right, gone and ordered stuff...
found pretty much what i wanted on caraudiosecurity.com very cheap, so i figured i might as well just buy it now rather than when i can actually afford it

I went for these speakers and this head unit. the prices seem damn good, hope it arrives Saturday....

 

Cool. Gimmie a shout if you want the speaker grilles, otherwise they go on Ebay.

if i lose the current auction, i'll have them
how much are you after?

 

PM me if you lose the auction.

just run the wires into the doors, there are grommets to use, poked a hole in em, sorted. doesn't flex too much when you open/close the door either

 

ok... got the door pods thanks to kidkoala, but how am i meant to attach the speakers to them? they sit on the posts fine, but there's nothing to keep them there. i think i might be meant to use some black metal V shaped things with a hole in either side, but the hole in one side is too small to go over the post...

 

Do what I did, just wrap some gaffer tape around the posts once the speakers are on. Trim it down to size.

Use yer noggin

 

Also missed this...

I already told you that earlier in the thread

 

yes... yes you did. bah

 

hot melt glue works too :-)

 

whee, all in almost....
the HU doesn't quite slot all the way in cos of the RCA lead sticking out of the back... and the amp only turns on when the headlights are on

sounds good tho, need to fiddle with the front/rear balance a bit.
fitting it all today was maybe a mistake, 3C outside

anyone got any ideas on why the amp would only go on with the lights? i'll just leave em on it the mean time

 

What did you wire the remote cable to? The fusebox or something?
