Title: My first Ice job - DONE!!
Post by: rmagictastic on October 17, 2005, 10:15:56 AM
mornin all,

i went to halfrauds on sat and found some lovely JBL 6x9\'s on a half price offer £30, so i thought i would get them for the rex.

went to replace whatever was in the sides of the rear seats to find that you can only fit little rouns ones in!!!! (dont know the size?)(found some spangly Carrozier ones in mine which was quite pleasing).

so after i had a brief swearing fit , and refitted the trim and bits (what a crap job!!) i had a think.

i have now fitted these in the rear flip down seat back.

took it off, stripped the cover (carefully), chopped 2 holes in the sponge, screwed the speakers in to the back plate, connected the up, re-fitted the covers nice and tight, re-fixed the seat, plumed her in to the stereo and WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!

so anyone who hasnt got a parcel shelf and wants to fit some speakers, this is a gerat place to do it. Took about 1.5 hours.

Tar

Nick :)

Just for anyone who wants to keep speakers in stock mount, 6x8 or 5x7 will both fit, just swapped to 6x8\'s last night, havent tested them yet though cos stereo is on the blink at the moment!

I\'m gonna be doing a bit of an ice install when I pick up my rex from Freddy  :yes

I know the speakers in the rear are 5x7 or 6x8, but what size are the speakers in the front, and is it just the 2 speakers up front or are there some tweaters as well?

Cheers,

Darran.

Not sure of the front ones, i *think* theyre 5" (or 5 1/4", whatever the generic size is), pretty sure it has come up before though so if you do a search you should find what your after :)
