Thanks for the info, I'll check out the sites you mention. Again, great how-to. I've done a bit of work on the interior installing a cruise control & running a wire up the dash pillar/windshield for a radar detector, I have to say in terms of trim at least this car seem less well put together than other cars I've done similar work on, like my '91 Sentra SE-R. A lot fewer screws & a lot more snap together stuff (or "clips & claws" as Mitsu calls them). I have to wonder if everything isn't going to really start to rattle after a year or so, with all these snap bits, especially given the car's firm ride.

I have trouble with my pass door rattling too. If it gets real aggravating I'll get something to stop it, but for right now it's not bad. I get my stuff on e-bay....only brand new stuff. A lot of people with mass amounts of equipment like to sell on e-bay. It could be a gamble but I haven't gotten burned...knock on wood.

 

i'm about to replace my front and back speakers this will be a helpful bit of advice, good job w/ tha pictures...

 

amen to that! great job! will use this when the time comes for my car

 

yesterday, i had a new challenge.

i took out that pair of alpines and replaced them with a pair of Infinity Kappa Perfect Components. Thing is... the comps are 5 1/4's (only got this cuz i got a good deal on them). anyways, i had to make a mounting plate out of ABS installer plastic. it was an interesting experience, but i pulled it off quite easily.

 

Where did you get those brackets? Did they come with the speakers?

 

yea, the brackets came with the 6 1/2 Alpines

 

Where did you put the cross overs? Got a pic or can ya show me on a pic? Thanks,
Mark

 

hey, i actually don't have any pics of the component install (sorry). the crossovers i just placed inside the door behind the speaker. it's not directly behind it, it's off to the side. at first i had troubles cuz the window would hit the crossover when it came down, but, i fixed that up.

 

i dunno why this thread hasn't been stickied? there's no pics anywhere else of how to take the door panels off...

 

Did you need to run new wire to the tweeters or to the deck? I'm looking at doin' mine up this weekend but I don't know if I need to run new wire or anything.

 

no new wires to the deck. the tweeters you just have to run wires to from the crossover, it all depends where you place everything. but, with just regular coax door speakers there's no extra wire running.

 

haha thats exactly what I put in my 2003 OZ.. they sound wicked eh??

i'm kinda new at sound system, wondering if you could help me....
i have the sun and sound pack, and a clarion 7" in dash, if i'm going to change the speakers, do i need to get a new amp??? lets say i'm changing all 4 speakers, with this alpine speakers, the same one you have

 

no, you don't NEED an amplifier. but, if you want it to sound the best it possibly can, buy an amp for the speakers. you can always just run it without an amp first. if it's not clean enough for you, buy an amp.
