I have a few questions about replacing my 4x6's. First, How the hell do I get to them? Is it difficult or a 30 min job? Second, I have heard peeps talkin bout having to do some heating stuff to there dash or somethin like that so that the 4x6's will fit right, so what do I need to avoid so I won't have to do that? And lastly, what is a good set of 4x6's under $100-$150. Thanx for any info, and :hail: those who reply.

 

There was just a topic about this. It is a 30 minute job, all you have to do is take off the dash pad. There are a few screws underneath the dash pad, and I think there are four in the vent on top of the dask pad, then that pulls off and the 4x6's are right there. I don't see why you would have to modify it at all for new 4x6's, unless they have a abnormal mounting depth.

 

I believe that there is a tech article on how to replace the 4x6s in the dash. I had to cut some plastic out on the d/side to get my Kappa plates to fit in. The p/side had alot more room.

 

hey Justin are those the Kappa 462.5cfp's at 180w. Im about to get them and wanted to know how they sound in the car, do you have them in your bird or camaro, just wondering if you had to do the mod on the camaro to get them to fit, thanks alot

 

I have the 462.0cf from 1995. They are pretty good speakers. The problem is that the magnet is offset and larger then stock, and there is very little room on the d/side. But i did get them in with minimal work. I dont know if there is any problems if you put them in a Camaro.

 

you should be fine with your camaro and installing some 4x6's. The real problems with fitting an aftermarket 4x6 comes when you try to install in a firebird.... the speedo gauge is directly underneath the mounting hole for the speaker, so you only have around 1.5" or less if i remember correctly.

 

My car had the plastic speaker mounts in the front. I have Boston Acoustics plate speakers in mine and they are shallow mount and still wouldnt fit. Theres only about 1.5 or 2" of room it seems like. I had to use a little spacer to make the speaker sit in the mounts.....
