help installing new rear speakers
I am at this moment installiung new rear 5x7s into my FD. I got the thing open, then I find a moounting bracket which the old speaker seems to be glued to. how the hell do I get this thing off? or what do I need to get to mount the new speaks. thanks for any help.

is this normal for these things to be glued on?

It is glued; pop it loose with a screwdriver.
I've also got a how-to on this topic: http://www.maxcooper.com/rx7/how-to/...ers/index.html -Max |
Anyone else planning on replacing their stock 5x7's I have a brand new never installed set of Kicker Impule 5x7's I am looking to sell. I decided not to use them, retail for like $130 or so I will sell them for $50, let me know, thanks,

i was told 6x8.. where do u get 5x7 from ??
|
either will work however 6x8 would require custom mounting, the stock speakers are 5x7 so 5x7's would drop right in.
|
6x8 drops right in without any modification whatsoever.
|
I was also under the impression that the rear speakers were 6x8, especially since it says so in the workshop manual. Also, if you go to Pioneer's website, they sell 6x8 speakers described as Ford/Mazda replacements.

well I know 5x7's work too

6x8s drop in perfectly fine, the stockers are 6x8s.
5x7s work fine too because often the plate they are mounted on is the same size as the plate for 6x8. You will need to pry the old speaker plate from the bracket by working around gradually as you don;t want to tweak the plate so that the install of the new speaker will sit flush. Be sure to apply 1/2" or thicker weatherstrip as mentioned before for better bass response. I want the JVC SH99 in black face dammit! NOT aluminum.. grrrrrr not sending off to Germany for it either... -Kib |
