***S14a door builds***
As the last post got no attention
Whos put 6.5 components in an S14a. The original seem to be 5.5ish with the resin speaker pods?
Do you buy aftermarket spacers etc?
I wanted to get some Alpine SPR176A's but apparently need 3" of depth which is too much by the looks of things.
Any help would be good guys

Standard mounts are 6.5 inch.. the mounting depth isnt a problem if you're will to cut away the rear bit of plastic mount..
that plastic is a little naff though, and they're pointed right across into the transmission tunnel which is a little bit of a disaster.. i'm thinking of reinforcing that plastic mount with mdf, deadening the whole area and using 3ways, placing a small kick build with 4inch mid in, can be aimed far better than the 6.5 inch and would keep the mids further away from the listener.. (far better imaging)..
or maybe try making a kickbuild for the 6.5inch midbass and tweeter, but i think i'm gonna be far to tight on space..

Have you done a search of previous pics being posted up here, that'll give you some ideas. Some have very nice boot installs indeed.
Personally, I've gone with mounting the tweeter down near the mid for better imaging. Its a bit "too in your face" style on the A-pillars, especially with uprated tweets. I have time alignment which allows me to move the image around the cabin (so to say)and optimise it for driver position.

OK, here are a couple of pics of mine.
I still haven't changed the grey carpet in the boot yet two and a half years down the line
I just used a sharp stanley knife to cut the door cards very carefully.

Thats the sort of thing i was thinking of. Nicely done didin
What about the space saver???
How did you attach the tweeter to the door card. Looks great, was the sound that much better...
