Well all day long I worked to get my speakers installed (2 sets of components in front and 2 sets in the rear). All went in the factory speaker location. Here is a final pic of the front speakers...
Jeff, that is pretty impressive. Did you use 1/4" mdf for the panels in the front and the rear? I need to install the speakers in my car too. Which component set did you use? How deep were the speakers? I am going to use the Image Dynamic's Chameleon 6.5" for the fronts. What do you think of them? With the tweeters mounted there, how is the sound imaging? Thanks.
The front door speaker looks kind of close to the plastic of the door. Do they buzz at all??
Otherwise, install looks great. Helps me out alot, now I know I can put in 6 1/2s!
very sweet install. looks really professional and clean. just wish i had the time to do all that stuff...i just stuck with stock sizes and went with boston pros all around. here's my door panel...
by the way, if you put components in the rear as well, where did you mount the tweeters?

Thanks for the compliments. I used 1/4" hardboard. I was told that is just as good/strong as MDF and it works real well. The speakers are 6.5LF Boston Acoustics ProSeries components. The mounting depth is 2 3/8" but one thing to MAKE SURE OF before you mount 6.5 in front... make sure you have enough clearance for your windows to go down! At first, I had the speakers mounted on the back of the hardboard. After everything was said and in, I tried rolling down my window and DOH!! So I mounted them from the front and there was enough clearance. (if this doesnt make sense let me know and I can elaborate). So I would say if you have speakers with 2 3/8" mounting depth, you should be fine, but that is cutting it very, very close. I definetly dont think you can mount any speakers that have more than that.
As for the tweeters, they are ok where they are at. You might get a little better sound by putting them on the other side of the woofer, but I wanted to make my cut in as inconspicuous location as possible. My rear tweeters are at the top of the c pillar pointing at the driver. Where the front woofers are, there is no real plastic rattle. In order to mount them, you have to remove the plastic housing that holds the stock speaker and I also removed the thin plastic sheet behind that. I think that was to keep moisture out but it was more of a neusance to me then help.
Let me know if you have any more questions. I am in the middle of my sub box building and installing. I will have pics when I am done
Here is a really bad pic of where the tweeters in the rear are... the lighting is terrible and I will get a better pic but this one will tell you where they are located (top of the C pillar)
Boston Pros are the shit! I've had 8 sets of them from the 4" to the 6.5's... I'm about to buy two more sets for the Supra... BTW, I put 150 watts to each of the 5" Boston Pro's in my Landcruiser and at 1/4 turn of the volume knob it will run you out of the truck! Good luck...
Recently I was contacted about retrofitting Honda S2000 projectors into MKIV Supra headlights. I was happy to oblige provided the customer supplied me with a set of projectors. The following are some pictures of the method that I used.
The first thing that was required was to trim the projector...
Hey guys,
What amps are you guys currently using? Something that fits in the stock location under the passenger seat would be ideal. Also, one amp for everything would be preferred as well.
Thanks!
I'm making a wish list of electronics (speakers, head unit, upgraded subwoofer, back-up cam) for when the time is right and I stubbled upon Dash Cams.
Does anyone have a dash cam installed on any of their vehicles? Or any experience with them in the past? I would love to hear your experience...

Just wanted to share a good experience I had with a great guy who operates Zledslights.com . Guy makes a cool all inhouse built product.
He is light years past the likes of "toxictails" and "prospec imports" replacement leds. He builds all of his own boards, programs the controllers, has a...
