Thanks! If I were to do this all over again, the only thing I would do different is use a bandsaw if I had one and, depending on the speakers, I might bypass the baffles completely. I used a Dremeel when redoing the back doors and the whole process was faster, the edges were smoother.

 

NEED HELP installing the oem subwoofer, dont no how to remove it. should i remove or keep it, because i have other one in the trunk. thank you!

 

Remove it. This way the sound from the sub in the trunk can pass thru to the cabin.

 

Yes, remove it. You can do so by removing the rear seats, the rear side panels, and then the rear deck cover, exposing the 4 mounting bolts.

 

I'm planning on replacing my door speakers soon with 6.5" CDT separates. Thanks for the information. What size are your mids and depth?

 

bringing this thread back up from the grave but quick question:

these adapters came with my infinity kappas that i bought. dumb question but will these work instead of having to modify a new adapter?






anyone from norcal/bay area make these mdf adapters? and are willing to install my front and rear speakers with an amp for some cash? thanks in advanced!

 

hey bro whats up those speaker brackets arent going to work but I wanted to see where your located in the bay area maybe we can get together and do it at my house
I can probably make them out of mdf also since i got the plastic ones i can just copy those i sent you a pm too Im guessing your in fremont

 

I love the step by step instructons with pics...great work man.

 

wow its a mission to replaced the stock speaker thats why i been holding on installing my focal 165kp

I know this is an old thread but no point in making a new one for a question that can be answered in here. Anyone know the mounting depth of the front/rear speakers without the factory "enclosures"? I'll be making baffles most likely out of High Density Polyethylene (HDP, think cutting board) material in 1/4". Possibly 1/2" depending on mounting depths available.

 

Will be doing this as well, great info here guys!

 

So your running a component set with a crossover. I might have missed it but does your 2gs have the mark levinson system in it?? An what's the impedance of those speakers?? I just picked up an 02 gs430 with Navi and the ML system and looking to install a set of infinity reference components up from and a set of infinity reference coaxial speakers, but I keep getting conflicting information about the Impedances from the factory ML amp and aftermarket speakers. Any insight would be greatly appreciated as I don't want to try the amp or spend the time to have it end up sounding like 💩
