I got the elemental designs 6500s, and here are the dimensions:

Mounting Depth 2.80
Mount Diameter 5.75
Overall Front Diameter 6.75

The diy for front speaker install has no pictures so its hard to see what's going on since the instructions refer to the pictures a lot. Is there any way that anyone who has made a custom mount out of mdf can make me one? I would be willing to pay for it and shipping.. thx.

 

yo...

send me your stock speakers and I will make the mdf to your liking for free.

you cover shipping costs

i'm PMing you my cell phone

FYI...I am new to this type of stuff, but you can't beat free.

i need the stock ones to take some measurements for my own speakers

 

-- deleted - my mounting rings were too thick! I redid them in 3/4" mdf, one layer, and it works perfectly for component woofers (I'm using braxials, which has a little arm sticking out that holds a tweeter - I just had to clip a little off the inside of the door panel).

 

I installed the same exact speakers a few weeks ago. Check out the install. I used 3/4" MDF in the coupe doors without a problem. I was also able to install the eDi 6500s tweeters in the stock location as well with some modifications.

 

Your install looks great! where did you mount the x-over?

 

Fantastic Pics & Install!

 

Thanks fellas. I ran my own speaker wires (2 sets) to each door for the woofers and tweeters. The crossover is installed in the trunk along with an aftermarket amp and the signal is coming from the stock HU. I just tapped into the wire harness in the trunk from the HU and converted the wires into RCA plugs. My trunk is still a mess so once I find time to clean it up, I'll post pics.

 

Espresso I sent you a pm.

 

very nice, but where's the dynamat
