View Full Version : I got my 5.25in speakers to fit in the factory housing

It required cutting out lots of plastic plus melting and molding the plastic around.

I had to deepen the housing by melting and stretching plus I had to cut out some notches in the side.

Fit's fairly well.

Next I am going to see if I can fit 6x9s in the rear speaker housings.

:cool:

unfortunately, no. It doesn't look pretty either. But it is pretty much air tight and fits so that's all that I care about! :D

I used 2way Infinity Kappas. I don't have the exact specs on them.

I really don't want to disassemble everything again. I am sure every speaker is different, what worked for me might not work for you.
