Stock speakers blew
 

Ok I did that just to lure you in. Anyway, they're blown, they were crap anyway, they're the stock base ones because I have a NISMO. What I want to know is what speakers I should replace those horrible ones with, I want all of them gone. Preferably something that can produce some good lows and highs. For the time being, I plan to keep the stock H/U but it's getting replaced in a few months. Suggestions? I can't even find out what size speakers are in there even after hitting the search button a few times. Thanks.

Is this able to hook up to the stock H/U and just work? http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...e-SPR-17S.html

on the nismo you can fit a 12" in the doors with no problem.

Will those fit on the base¿

The DB6501's will fit fine, I have the DXi6500's :

Polk Audio DXi6500 6-1/2" component speaker system at Crutchfield.com

and they fit just fine with the included spacers.

Does the Polk Audio DB6501's come with 2 tweeters? Because Amazon's fail images only show 1 lol.... Otherwise if yes to all of the above I'm going to get these right now.

they come with 8.

yah, 2.

I suggest you get a nice exhaust put down your windows and stop listening to the crap on the radio anyways... the exhaust note will keep you entertained :rock:

if you use crutchfield.com they will give you all the spec's of what you need along with what will and wont fit... so you can get the sizes and go elsewhere if you find it cheaper. :tup:

:iagree:

I have a Stillen CBE :tup:

But I still like music :)

Update: I bought this: Amazon.com: Polk Audio DB6501 6.5-Inch 2-Way Component System (Pair, Silver): Electronics

hope you bought spacers too to fit them in as the magnet will hit the glass when you open your windows.:icon23:

I didn't. Would you mind telling me the ones you got so I can do the same?

hahaha, was just getting back at your smartarse thread. :rofl2:

you're fine, you dont need spacers for those speakers. GL with the install! :tup:

LOL thanks. Should be easy. Hopefully this will be sufficient with the stock HU until I get a new one in a couple months.

i bought the db6501s. Give yourself several hours for the install and pay attention!

More beers = more time for the install... Mine took about 4 hrs and alot of beer

Also, if you spray the speaker wires with wd40, EVOO or KY (any lube will do) it will make running them through the door easier. I had to use a coat hanger to fish the drivers side through.

What makes the install a few hours? It's 4 speakers and a crossover? I've pulled off door panels before. The only thing I am unfamiliar about from this whole install would be the crossover because I have never bought a setup like this before. Normally I either upgrade just the speakers or do a whole install with speakers,subs,HU,the amp, etc.

Is there anything special about the crossover or is it just hook up and go? Nevermind, Google just answered that question. Just splits the connection so the tweeters won't get pwned.

Its the feeding wires through the door gromet that takes time...and the reason why I haven't had the time to put my set in. Im doing mine when I get a new HU next time. :)

The tweeters are way smaller than factory sized tweeters. Why did anyone recommend this? What size are our ACTUAL tweeters so I can get the right sized ones. These come with 1" tweeters, I need 2" don't I? Can I get a relatively cheap mount to put on the 1 inchers?

Just make a custom mount out of wood, plastic, or do what i did and cut up a hard back cover of a book. The stock tweeter bracket is part of the tweeter itself. Any component speakers you install will need a mounting plate for the tweeters. Its not difficult.

to make mine, i found a hard back old college book and traced the stock tweeter bracket. Then used the mounting cup for the new tweeter as a template for the tweeter.

You will need use the supplied tweeter mounting cup, tweeter, mounting bracket(abs, wood, cardboard, ect). As far as the cardboard goes, as long as it is able to hold the tweeter in place, i think your fine.

pop off the tweeter cover and take a look, you will see what in talking about.

Oh I know what you're talking about. I've been looking around the house for a plastic piece or something hard to put there. This shouldn't be hard. Dremel will be helpful.
