boston acoustics pro series (6.5)....let me tell you....I absolutely love the sound. had to use a 3/4 inch spacer and had to cut the bottom part of the door where the speaker mounts. but it was all worth it. 5 hrs of labor of love and well worth the $397 i spent for it. i thought the tweeters being aluminum would be to harsh...but nah...they sound great and crisp. i highly recommend these speakers for those who don't want to spend too much (although $400 is quite a bit for speakers.....but I LOVE THEM).

 

What kind of power are you putting to them?????

 

What part of the door are you talking about...the mettle or the plastic on the door panel its self? Do you have pics?

 

i am using a jl 300/4 to power them. nola...i completely removed the plastic cup holding the old bose speakers. i had to cut about a quarter of an inch at the bottom of the hole, then just bent it inwards to accomodate the speaker connectors of the bostons. as my spacer, i used to have infinity's mounted using the 1/2 plastic spacer that came with it. i used that and the 1/4 inch spacer that came with the bostons and it's pretty sturdy and solid.

 

Ok so the 3/4" spacer will clear the plastic door panel??? I was useing a 1/2" spacer and that would just barely be enough room...so I wanted to try and figure out if I could go to a 3/4" or maybe even a 1" to get the magnet as far away as possidle form the window when its down.

How did you attach the spacers to the door???

 

went to home depot and bought 2 inch screws. i had to drill a couple of holes to make the spacers more secure.

 

ok so you just drilled through the spacers into the door itself...I did that last time but this time I was thinking about trying to use silicon...do you think silicon would hold???

 

if your going to use this for your cdts, i think the cdts would be too heavy for the silicone. you can put the silicone just to sorta be like a filler if you have any spaces btwn the spacer and the metal of the door. i would still use screws to make everything more secure. just my opinion.

 

yeah its for the CDT's....I had them in the 01cl and the were all screwed down...i would like to not have to do that again but I also dont want them to fall...hmm I guess I will have to test it out when the time comes to re-install it all.
