so how many speakers/drivers exist on the car? confused from following the thread.

so from what I have made out is that there are 2 tweeters and standard speakers (splits,right?) on each side?

2 tweeters in the dash, 2 6.5inch speakers in the doors and 2 4inch speakers in the rear.

6 total.

6 speakers dude:

• Highs from the 2 x tweeters in the dash (>2Khz)
• Mid-lows from the 2 x woofers in the doors (>80Hz, <1Khz),
• Useless indistinct highs from the 2 x woofers in the rear side panels

Sound stage is pretty good for a stock stereo IMO - just missing that 20Hz - 80Hz kick.

I'll probably chuck a monoblocked 10" sub in the boot with custom enclosure when i get the chance

i agree front splits and sub are all you need. who cares about the rear. and i can't be bothered ripping out the rear trims to take out the pair of tiny OEM paper speakers. it will annoy me more if there is a rattle by pulling trim off then leaving that little bit of extra weight in there.

also is the factory tweeter location any good for SQ?

Meant surround sound, not as movies.. Just have sound coming from all corners of the car.

I'm doing the same. 10" works well for that nice, sharp thump you want with Trance and Electro.

ideally the rears should not be noticible for the front driver/passenger. the stock rear location on 86 is bad already and they are using 2 metal bars to secure the speaker which is crap and do nothing good to the SQ.

Each to their own.

all speakers are being done in my car.

This whole rear speaker weight thing has got me thinking. What companies make lightweight speakers and are they any good?

Eg.
Liteair speakers

but then you save 300g and end up with crap speakers :P

the splits i use are not overly heavy, and they sound pretty fantastic.

I would say just removing the rears and putting decent ones up the front would be best, you save weight from the rears and replacement front speakers wouldn't be too heavy.

[Surok]

if its so terrible when i get mine, i will just raid the jaycar catalog and grab some decent speakers in stock sizes and replace them all.

[Suffa]

anyone think you could get away with a couple of 10" shallow subs in the rear space? Looks like there could be enough space and would make for a nice clean install. Prob need abit of fiberglassing though.







If that lil speaker panel pops out might be able to fabricate a panel with room on the 10"

I'm waiting to see what the after market comes up with for the rear speaker. Would love to put an 8-10" in there.

No way I'm putting a sub in my car, I've got 6x9's in my old Honda that put out LOADS of base, I may just do that

There is really no comparison between 6x9's and a sub. 6x9's sound like arse.
