synistershadows Posted October 29, 2007 Report Posted October 29, 2007 anyone here had trouble with fitting in aftermarket 6x9's in the rear of their car Quote
Garrett Powered Posted October 29, 2007 Report Posted October 29, 2007 yes, does not seem that infinity 6x9s will fit in my rear factory pods. Quote
synistershadows Posted October 29, 2007 Author Report Posted October 29, 2007 magnet to big and the surrounding plastic ? Quote
pwmin Posted October 29, 2007 Report Posted October 29, 2007 i didnt have any problems w/ my few year old kappa 6x9's. Quote
SigEpCutlass Posted October 29, 2007 Report Posted October 29, 2007 I didn't have any problems with my Pioneers. Check Crutchfield.com for fit info. Quote
xtremerevolution Posted October 29, 2007 Report Posted October 29, 2007 I didn't have any problems with my Polk Audio 6x9's either. Quote
BXX Posted October 29, 2007 Report Posted October 29, 2007 I had an issue with Infinity as well... You have to finagle them in and run 2 screws at an angle... put them in only a few threads on at a time and then tighten them gradually. Quote
synistershadows Posted October 30, 2007 Author Report Posted October 30, 2007 yeah i just put in my set of infinity's 2 kappa 6x9's and 2 reference 4x6's and i cant to slightly modify all the mounting spots but itt still looks stock Quote
Garrett Powered Posted November 1, 2007 Report Posted November 1, 2007 I just returned mine. send them back to china. Quote
boulevard Posted November 2, 2007 Report Posted November 2, 2007 I didn't have a problem with my Alpine 6x9s. Just held them up and ran self tapping screws to the sheet metal. Whats seems to be the hold up? Don't the cutlass'es have those speaker pods for the rear? Quote
synistershadows Posted November 2, 2007 Author Report Posted November 2, 2007 yes but the magnest on the infinity's are soo big that they barely fit into the hole and the magnet support gets in the way so i just shaved it down a bit a got them in Quote

Are you saying that you are using the factory brackets that hold up the rear speakers with the wire clip? They will not fit most aftermarket speakers, mostly only OEM replacement that you would find at a Murrays or Advanced Auto. Quote
Garrett Powered Posted November 3, 2007 Report Posted November 3, 2007 what magnet supports and brackets? I am confused. there is the shelf with a plastic pod that has tabs and screws. most aftermarket 6x9s will fit in them. just not infinity. but you can have 5 inch components back there and use sound deadener to kind of seal them off and they will sound decent. 6x9s just kind of free air it with very little separation. thats why they are undesireable. plus the sub will throw them off with its large bass waves.

boulevard Posted November 3, 2007 Report Posted November 3, 2007 I remember when my brother used to have Kenwood Excelon 7x10s with a Kenwood Amp. Those things sounded like 8" woofers. I think they were 3-way speakers. They came with adapters to replace 6x9's. Pyle still makes 7x10's, 4-ways. They look awesome.
