I purchased the 6.5 adapters off of ebay for my front door panels. The install went fine and I was able to reuse the factory enclosure. The problem I am running into is that the door panel wont go on now. It hits the speaker due to the bigger diameter. I searched on here and I didnt find anyone having the same problem. Am I missing something here?

 

Im pretty sure its an issue with others as ive heard. You might have to trip the door panels a bit to get it to close.

 

the ebay adapters can be unscrewed to two pieces, u use the flat piece and the other piece could be used to mount 6.5 in the rear

 

Show some pics cause ive been thinking about buying those adapters & some new 6.5 jl zr components there lot $ so i dont wanta buy if they dont fit.

 

I dont follow. Do i unscrew the pieces and just bolt the front 6.5s flush to the adapter plate? The only way I think that would work would be to remove the factory enclosure that I modded to work with the adaptor. If I do that then I would lose the tight airspace and instead use the whole door as the airspace. Im not sure how this would sound so I would like to keep the box.. but if I have to ill do that...

 

I went with some JL Xr's and i love them so far

 

if u look closely at the adapter u can dismantle the part where ur putting the actuall speakers on.. from the flat piece...theres not many screws on there.. and not many pieces u can take screws out of

 

I understand that but if I do that then illl have to remove the factory enclosure I have bolted to it. The speaker wont fit with the enclosure attached because it hits the cone. If I remove the enclosure, it will fit but I wont have closed box for my speaker. Instead, ill be using the whole door as airspace. Will this sound okay?

 

i ended up making a 3/4" mdf ring and mounted that to the front panels. It inset the speakers about 1/2", but still hitting the door. I guess I have to notch the door out some..

I havent realy figured out what to do with the rears yet. I have a few ideas but nothing that seems very easy. Id like to see some pics of what other's have done..

 

hell yes it will.. i have it set up liek that for the front and the erars.., and my car sounds beautiful

 

take a look at my thread for my installiation.. u can see how i used the second piece of the adapter to mount the rears

 

did you have to cut the insides of the factory mounts in the rear for that adapter and speaker to fit? how the heck did you mount those rings to the hard plastic?? I guess im going to take off the rear enclosure in the front... boo.

 

Do they make a 4" to 5" adapter? i cant find one on ebay hook me up

 

screws that go through it.. long ones

 

sorry quick question.
man. i bought image dynamics ctx6.5cs speakers and i went to one guy and he said that it will not fit.

do you guys think this can fit into my front doors?
