Alright so about 2 weeks ago I recieved my accomodations from Alpine through the company I work for. Well I found some AMAZING deals so I made some purchases as to upgrade the horrible stock audio...

Here is the question any ideas will be helpful...

How would you go about custom fitting this into a EVO IX MR..?

- Alpine F'1 Status SPX-Z18T or SPX-Z15M
I purchased both the other I will sell depending on which is easier to fit.

- Alpine F'1 Status MRV-F900 x2

- SWX-1243D

I know that is going to be one hell of a fit mainly the components they are definately not made for this vehicle. I will get them installed professionally just looking for some ideas on placement mainly...

I haven't had time to take any pics I will post some tomorrow after I get out of work.

If anyone is interested in the Z15M let me know with your offer I'm probrobly definately keeping the Z18T they are SICK!!!

 

Im not sure of the size of your speakers, but you may have to get adapter plates if they are too small for the opening, If they are too big, you may have to cut some metal out . If they are too deep you're looking at a custom enclosure.

 

I remember the day when Alpine products gave me goosebumps. Now, they are selling stuff at Walmart. WHy? I know why. but Why? Anyways, chances are, you will need adapter plates as stated above.

Trenomial, I understand the fabulous deal but why F1 status in an audio hell like the Evo? Thats just crazy. That must have been one hell of a deal.

 

i work at best buy installing and i actually purchased the type r 6 1/2' speakers. the dont fit at all without spacers. they are cheap just go to any car audio shop the will know what you need.

 

It probably wont be a good idea to just use any generic spacer with his setup. These speakers are probably like 10-20 times the price of what you paid for your type-r's. I would mount them very solid and in a very accoustically sound environment. Generic plastic spacers would be a no-no.

 

I guess you are now in the realm of custom kickpanels and AP enclosures.

If your gonna spend to dough on the F1's, you need to do them justice.

 

Oh they will be done excellent justice...

And for the other people talking of the deals the deal is UNBELIEVEABLE!!!

I'm talking the Z18T that retails for 3,500 for 650 I mean that is uncanny man!

I could NOT pass up a deal like that man EVER in my life!

 

^^^Holy Shyte!!! That's a smokin deal. Damn, how did you swing that?
