Guest Anonymous Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 i need advice on whether to perform surgery on my new door panels from walloth &nesch or is there another way to mount 5" round speakers and get good true high fidelity sound in a 73 tii? dw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 URL: http://members.rogers.com/jims02tii/tiijourney.htm This is what I did on my 73 tii. No cutting was done. jim (with 6" of freezing rain and ice in April!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 i did the same thing as jim in my '73...except i have 4" round speakers in the kickpanels and 6.5" speakers in the rear deck. alpine makes a unique 4" that is shallow enough to fit. the sound is awesome.

Guest Anonymous Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 incorporated in them, fabricated from ABS plastic sheet and tubing - no extra holes anywhere, sound quality is excellent. Five & one quarter inch rounds are about the biggest speakers that the panels can accomodate. Also managed to fit a pair of Pioneer "free air" eight inch subs under the back seat - the system could use a pair of 6" mids to fill in the mid range, but overall, it sounds pretty good, everything is out of sight, and I didn't have to cut any holes anywhere....

Guest Anonymous Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 ....not!!! I bought some spacers similar to Jim's set up, made by Pioneer they move the speaker about an inch and a half away from the mounting surface and will help you get a decent sized speaker on the A pillar kick panel.

Guest Anonymous Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 you can do what I did, and cut out a spacer from a scrap 2x6 piece (4 inch speaker--you'll probably have to use a piece of 2x8 for a 5 incher), bored a hole in the middle big enough to clear the speaker frame/magnet and covered the edge with black vinyl upholstery material. Drilled mounting holes thru the wood and carefully poked them thru the carpet, so if you remove the speakers someday the holes won't show. These are 4 inch coaxes, and they work just fine, along with 4x6 coaxes in the back package shelf, mounted in vintage Blaupunkt surface mounts. Drop me a line if you want detailed info, but DON'T CUT YOUR NEW DOOR PANELS!!!! Cheers Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 URL: http://groups.msn.com/1969BMW2002FORSALE/photos1.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=2 I measured and built angled speaker boxes for the kick panels and installed a 6 1/2" component set. It's a little tight by the hood release, but it looks decent, sounds good and required no cutting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 I cut two holes on either side of the center console in behind the stereo. They point out towards the doors. Rome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 I used the old under dash panels,.. covered them with tin foil and then coated one side with fiberglass. I peeled the tin foil off the old panel and i had a new panel in the same shape but made from fiberglass. i cut a hole in it and mounted a 6" speaker in the new panels. Those were the speakers i had lying around but i should have used smaller ones. the stereo can't drive those speakers to their max output and they need to be because they face down-ish. e-mail me and i'll tell you more if you are interested and have questions. -josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 They're round, as mentioned they're made by Pioneer, but that's all I can tell you I'm afraid - box is long chucked and there's nothing on them number wise. You should find them in any Pioneer brochure. HTH, Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
