Hi guys,

I want to put aftermarket rear speakers in my 02. My local audio shop tells me that the only thing I can put in is 4" co-axs. Anything bigger would have to involve cutting and retrofitting and biophysics and a little chemistry and that I would be looking at over $200 for just the install.

I don't want to take it to Best Buy or Fry's or anything like that for a second opinion, but what you have guys done in your rear doors?

Currently my set up is:

Alpine W205
Alpine PDX 4.100 currently bridged to 2 channels
Focal KF165's
JL W6v2
PDX 1.600

 

doesn't sound right. I plan on putting 6.5s and it should just need a spacer. Haven't seen it myself, but Ive been doin the same research

 

you can fit 5.25s with little to no effort. i had to cut the door skin to put 6.5s in that last tl i did. be careful pullin the panels off cuz there are little yellow plastic things that attach the lock rods. they break easy as shit.

 

waht do you mean door skin? any other mods for the 6.5s?

 

5.25 and 6.5 are the rear speakers in your door. Actually its like that all around. It depends on what speakers you get i know a guy did his 03 TL 6.5 all around no mods think he was running infintys or polks

 

yea...I got Infinity Kappas that I am dying to put in, its just too damn cold. I am a machinist and am drawing up plans that act as the necessary spacer and a component bracket. I hope thats all the mods I need

 

you may not need them. check out your cars door first

 

as soon it goes above 0° out there, i will

 

the metal under the panels. basically, where they screw in i guess.

 

I am just about in the process to machine the brackets needed to put 6.5s in the doors of our TL's THe material is a bit expensive, so I am trying to see who else is interested in getting these to cheapin the price. Once I get an idea of who wants them, I will give a price that wil include material, time/labor to make them, tooling and shipping and handling. PM me or whatever, so lets get the ball rollin on this!!
