Mounting Speakers in fron door panel


Recommended Posts

you just need to install a spacer ring between the back of the speaker and the mounting surface. even several thick washer collars behind them inside the mount screws will work, but spacer rings will make the air seal and speakers will sound better with the solid ring. Or, you could just buy proper speakers with shallow mount and not do anything else.

I'm putting 6.5 separates in the doors of my 81 Brat and have the same issue. The best solution is to make a custom baffle plate outta MDF. Measure first to see how deep your speakers sit, you need the baffle plate to get you at least that far from the surface of the door. If you get MDF that's thicker than the space you need, you can recess the speaker into it. If it's not too late, you might also want to add some sound dampening to the inside of the door skin while it's torn apart.

Whaterver you do,don't half a$$ the job. It Has to be done with solid construction methods. The opening and closing of the door with the weight of the speaker will test your fasteners. If it's not right,the weight of the speakers will soon tear loose and leave you with a mess.

 

Trust me. I know this.:lol:

I have had that problem with almost every EA81 subaru i have owned. Even my Legacy had the same problem, but that was with some REAL nice 6.5's

 

I suggest you goto any local car audio shop and find some spacers.

 

I did this with my Brat, I kind of like being able to roll my windows all the way down.
