marbleapple Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Mine have arrived thank you. Superb quality and service. If you can wait a week, i'll be doing a step by step guide with photos. That would be really good. I've found my speakers don't fit through the hole on the wood so I'm not sure if I should be making the hole larger or getting smaller speakers (not 6x9 like I have at the mo).

imi Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Ok, trying to install these and coming across the following issues, pics attached. I am struggling to line up the holes for the speaker bracket between the door card and the mount... And there is way too much space between the mount and the door card. any suggestions on how to mount the speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there is way too much space between the mount and the door card. any suggestions on how to mount the speakers. The way I done it was just screwed the speaker do the door card and through into the mount, kinda pulls them together, once the speakers are in and the grills are on you can't see any gaps etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the most I am getting two, anymore and there are gaps showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy W Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 If I remember correctly I only had two that lined up and one was very slightly off, I just screwed through it and made my own holes in the end. There should be enough flex in the door card to close the gap, although it may not fully close, if you know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 hmm - and I certainly wasn't expecting any fluffing around with the mount in order to get it to fit to a supra door card........ you sure I am not doing anything wrong...? is this what the mount should have looked like? http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showpost.php?p=1706149&postcount=62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy W Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 To tell you the truth Imi, I honestly can't remember.........it was away at the turn of the year I fitted mine and I can only remember bits and pieces off the top of my head, I think my mount looked a bit different from that, I don't think I have the ring thing on mine. I'm 70% sure mines where flat. Sorry I can't help you anymore mate. Edit - Just noticed the mahoosive picture in the first page, that's the same as mine.

If you are really wanting them done and dusted today, you could buy two mdf rings from a local audio place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkey3 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I thought these were a direct replacement for the big plastic thingie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickTT Posted September 21, 2008 Author Share Posted September 21, 2008 I thought these were a direct replacement for the big plastic thingie. They are a direct replacement, and you will notice that the door card does not attach to the "big plastic thingy" either. You fit the speakers and brackets behind the door card, then put the doorcard back, without screwing it to the speaker bracket. ......using the existing mounting points. They require no modification to the door card or existing speaker grill although you will need some longer mounting screws for the brackets. As I said, i will be doing a step by step install guide next friday/saturday, but if its any help, heres a photo of mine installed from 2 years ago. Put the door card back over the top.

monkey3 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 That's what I thought. That came across wrong, I wasn't questioning your workmanship. I was wondering why people were having issues with it as so many people (in the last GB) have had nothing but good things to say about these.

I was wondering why people were having issues with it as so many people (in the last GB) have had nothing but good things to say about these. Have a look at the photos that I posted up....... I had time today, weather was generous so decided to get them fitted. Turned out to be a big job and I dont see how the door card will sit on top, certainly wont work with my speakers (infinity 6.5") as the speaker grill will NEVER line up with the speakers. Wait to be corrected....happy to wait for the step by step instructions, until then, the mounts are back in their packet. imi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 When I done mine I screwed the speaker to the bracket and then put the door card over the top. The hole where the speaker was never lined up with the new speaker but this wasn't a problem for me as I'm using the OEM covers which you can't really see through. I thried to work out how to screw them through the door card and into the bracket, but this was the only way I could see it working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey3 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Have a look at the photos that I posted up....... Well I'll have to wait until I see mine in the flesh against the doors as I can't picture any issues after looking at your images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wile e coyote Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Not received mine yet ! But will be waiting for the step by step guide.Will it say recomended size speakers and bolts etc ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey3 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 If you mean speaker diameter, that would be 6.5" or 165cm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
