Speaker Install Advice Needed - Into Door Skin Mon, 25 July 2005 14:59 Go to next message
Hi guy,

I am trying to install some speakers into the front
of my mx83 cressida, in the standard door mounts.

The only thing is the standard cutout is way too small
for the 5" speakers I got.

can I cut out the inside of the door skin a bit?
there is a small rivet weld just below the hole I will need to
cut (see pic).

OR should I scrap it and take the speakers back and swap them
for some decent 4" splits??

Cheers,
Bart

howdy.

since you dont go to a concert and sit facing the back of the room it seems more logical to have better speakers in the front of the car. if your gunna cut away metal make sure that you put primer on it to stop it rusting and check that it doesnt hit anything or buy some build outs.

its really up to you.

If you're going to cut metal just make sure its only sheet metal, don't cut into any of the supports or braces.

AFAIK you're not supposed to cut metal at all as it may alter the strength of the panel... just be warned that you "may" get defected if a cop really wants to give you grief.
