im putting in new aftermarket pioneer 6x9 speakers to replace my old ones. i dont know how i can shape the guard ring that protects my speakers to contoure with my interior. righ tnow they would mount flush to a flat surface. if anyone has been able to make the ring formed to the interior please post a pic of it.

 

here what i have, they are infinity reference 6x9's, i didnt have to cut anything, but i did have to bend out the plastic to get one of them in there just make sure you have every thing in there snug like, so there are no vibrations.

 

eh, just put them in ..

 

600_dollars that looks so cobb, why would you do that to your car .

 

with the guard

 

had to put something in there these were just not helping ...

 

eh, no reply?

 

we'll, mine arent exactly 6x9s, but its still in the sails....

 

put the guard behind the plastic. Then put your original covers over them. Looks factory, sounds nice.

 

I just left the guard off my Infinity Kappa's and put the original clothe back over...looks stock and sounds good. noone ever sits back there to mess em up so why not?

 

i am running infinity also..

 

dont get the wrong impression; i keep the cloth cover on the sails. i just shot a pic without it

 

i have a problem with mine i got an older pair well not really that old probably 2000 i got a pair of pionnerr 6x9's and now they are starting to almost fall apart like they have a chrome kind of color to it and the chrome looks like it is flaking off on the mids and highs i keep the sail covers on all the time but i took them off it look at them one day and the chrome accent color was flakin off what could have caused this?

 

the weathering of the speaker could have been the main cause, it get condensation on it some how and just rots the speaker and then when you start to use it its weak so it just flakes away. i could be wrong but it the only thing i can think of other than the speaker just not being worth a darn, but if the speaker is plastic {chrome?} im not really sure water from condensation could rot it, hard use in poor conditions cant be good for any speaker though. hope you get what you want.

 

There is a blue RS here for sale and hte guy works at an electronics store and he took a neat route that I Wouldnt mind taking if I had the money...he put 8" cerwin vega subs w/ tweets next to them in the sail panels...he did a pretty damn good job too!

 

Anybody ever cut out the sail panels and mount the speakers sticking out of them? Not gonna go and do it or anything, but wouldnt mind seeing a pic.

 

infinity here, too.

 

here's my sonys (they sound awsome!!):

 

Please don't buy sony anything i have had horrible luck with them maybe it's just me but when i tried to get them fixed or replaced the company absolutly refused to cooperate so i'm stuck with them now and the sound like **** i have only had them for 1 year and the car was in storage for 6 mos i started having problem like 3 mos after purchasing them

 

i had sony's in my camaro for a while and took them out when i put it up. when i rebuild it then i wil get something a little better. It seemed that mine were putting out a little too much for their own good and after about 6 months they pretty much died. they were better than the stock tho so im not gonna complain

But Sony Suckz ***....

 

in all fairness, if you dont have anything to compare something, of course its the best......

 

Aparently some of you have had bad experiences with Sony products. I have listen to a lot of different speakers and for what i paid for them the sound prety darn good! Granted there are a lot of bad sony crap out there but i have got some good speakers right now so i intend to keep them, also when people listen to them the think they sound just as good as some top of the line speakers.

 

I have not been impressed with the Sony line at all.

I listened to the 6x9's at the store a while back. The Jensen's sounded much better, as did the Pioneer's, etc. And IIRC they were cheaper....

But then again it can all depend on the install and setup too.

 

the chrome stuff on my speakers was just like a paint or somthing because yes they are plastic under that paint crap and they more than likely have been weathered only because my t-tops leak like a mother anyway so that is more than likely my problem.
