6.5's in the doors?

[kizzo]

Anyone ever try and mod the doors on the front of a GLS to accept 6.5" speakers? I'm trying to put in some cadence 6.5" components.

[Vampyrate]

yes, those are the size that you need, and obviously 6x9 in the rear deck

Got 'em in mine. I cut the oe speaker out of the factory bracket and usedthat. It's worked quite well for 3 years or so.

here's a DIY on a adapter bracket you can use

[kschoo2004]

^ nice i had to make adapters for mine...

i hate to double post, cause i put this in the diy section, and esp cause im a n00b to the forum and will prolly easily get chewed out heh., but is there anyone out there that has a template for the speaker adapter? i have like no tools at home and very little free time.. but if i had a template i could just cut it at work and take it home and do the install at home n/p, I just need an outline of the factory sizeing so i could cut it out, ill measure my speakers and that cut will be n/p.
If no one puts one up, when i get around to gettin mine in (who knows when) maybe ill see what i can do as far as takin pics and puttin up the measurments so one could be easily made before takin the panels off..

hey dude, you are about a month too late! I had an extra pair that I sent free to Gustav, send him a PM, maybe he will part with them.

and.....

Didn't you mention you were going to get some adaptors from Crutchfield? I ordered a set of comps from them and they sent the adaptors for free (Soche brand). They work GREAT! Check 'em out.

[kizzo]

i dont need the adapters i just cut peices off the original plastic basket, if anyone knows how to ghetto rig, its kizzo.

btw i already got the speakers, word though.

mlrman, dood Which adapters did you get?? can you link me? i did the what car do you have and did the elantra, but i only got 1 result and EVERYONE gave it bad reviews.. maybe there all dummys or the adapters all fit there cars crappy but fit elantras.. either way, if you liked yours i wanna make sure i get the same ones!

and kizzo i would SO normally do that, but i just bagged my old car and since i ripped the old speakers to shreds they knocked cash off my trade in.. can you belive that they actually checked !?!?! wtf! so just cause of that i wanna keep all the factory stuff in 100% working order and good condition just box it all and store it- Thanks though

[kizzo]

If they knocked cash off my trade in over a peice of plastic that hold those POS stock elantra speakers id be pissed.

I didn't see them listed either, but they sent them FREE with my speakers.

here's the deal...I buy from ebay and wherever I can find a sweet deal, HOWEVER there is a time to pay the extra money for that service and "little extras". That's why I bought my speakers from Crutchfield, cuz I knew the size would be different than stock, and they would support me with the install.

the adaptors were Soche brand, and here is the part number: a42 sac 656

give them a call....I can't imagine they wouldn't sell them outright.

or go ghetto style, like Kizzo. make sure they are tightly mounted, you'll never see em anyway.

good luck, bro
