Im gonna be installing a set of Boston Acoustics Pro series 6.5's in the doors and im wondering if i'm gonna need spacers to clear the window? The mounting depth is 2 3/8", any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

yes, anything over like an inch needs spacers

 

yes you will, the pro is by no means a small speaker, and will require a spacer. its not just hte depths, but also the size and shape of hte basket and magnet behind the speaker. for example, a speaker with a neodydium magnet and small bakest such as DLS ultimates, can fit with almost no specer or a very small spacer, where as a speaker with a larger magnet, needs a bigger spacer even though technically the first spekaer is deeper.

but pros, you will need spacers for sure

If the baskets are wide, as Bing indicates, I would use the stock speaker spacer method. The speakers I was trying to mount wouldn't work in the ZEnclosure MDF spacers because the speaker's baskets were too wide. But with the stock spacer, I just had to trim out some plastic pieces, and the new speakers fit great.

 

thanks guys, i think im gonna go another direction and mount the pro's behind the seats and get some Morel Tempo coax's for the doors. But if i were to need spacers where is a good place to get em??

 

Clicky: ZEnclosures 1" speaker spacer

 

Thanks again KMan, one last thing though. If i put my Boston Pro's in the rear spaces behind the seats, will i need any special pieces ie; spacers hardware ...etc
? I'm trying to get all my parts and pieces before i tear the whole car apart ( i want to do it just once) know what i mean.

 

I have no idea about the rears, as I have never replaced them. I wouldn't though, save your money and just concentrate on the fronts, as most people here will suggest. I have my rears completely turned off.

 

i have a question when you add spacers to the stock door hole does the stock grill fit over the front of the speakers? thanks

 

also for you all that seem like you know i was curious if ill need spacers for these?http://www.infinitysystems.com/car/p...=US&Region=USA
also will these drop in ok in the back locations?http://www.infinitysystems.com/car/p...=US&Region=USA thanks!

 

get better fronts and forget the back stage

 

You do not need any other hardware.

You'll be surprised how easily the new speakers will bolt right in using the stock bolts.

 

better fronts? im on a budget and can get these $107 n.i.b., and with 93 db sensitivity can you suggest anything "better"? plus i was asking if i would anything to bolt these in the stock locations? thanks

 

make your own ... i used the stock spacers and cut the middle part out and mounted the new speakers to it and it works better then aftermarket. ... theres a DIY somewhere for it maybe on the wiki
