Aftermarket speaker adapters
Here's a set I had machined just as a prototype. The mounting holes for the aftermarket speaker was not machined out in the prototype so I drilled out my own. Eventually, I want to have an elongated hole for the speaker mounting holes similar to the holes shown for the door panel mounting bolts to accommodate a wide range of aftermarket speakers. Still need to test fit this prototype in the car though.

Hopefully I'll have a chance to test fit next weekend. Then I can finalize the CAD drawings have the first batch made.

What are the chances you'll be able to do them with different mounting diameters? I REALLY want to see if I can get my OG Diamond DA4.6s in there. Worst case, I can use my 344is's or have Bing make me some small dash pods for my RS100s and I'll pick up some Scan rings. Too many choices! Too many choices!!! I don't even have the freakin' car yet! AHHHHHHH! LMAO

Crap, well if the depth is too much it's too much. No sense worrying about the diameter if it's not gonna fit anyway. Time to check the Renaissance 4" specs. At least I know the RS100s will fit no problem.

Test fitted the adapter this morning. Its tight but its a perfect fit. The a/d/s mids are 50mm deep. I'm not sure if it could accommodate 7mm more. When I put the door panel back on I pressed against the back of the weather barrier and there was a little give until I felt the window but I don't think it was 1/4".
Picture of the a/d/s installed on the door panel. I removed the front grill just to see if the driver was centered in the cutout and it was. I forgot to take a picture of that though.

Esotars eh? I'm picking up the final revision of the adapters tomorrow afternoon. It looks much different from the prototype. I'll post pics when I get them.

Take a look at Renaissance drivers. Rennaissance used to be Morel USA. In the same car that was running Esotar 2s then switched to Rennys the difference was night and day. I think I'm going to run the Renny 4 and one of their tweeters and if I can fit it, their 8. If not, I'll use a Hertz Space 8.

hopefully. i had 240gt's in my last car and was pretty happy. for some reason, they don't make 4" mids in the esotec line for some reason. also bought a pair of the focal 100 krs, but not sure which way to go.. decisions decisions.
what did you end up deciding on the under seat subs? |

They basically are. And they sound like you wouldn't believe. The only thing I've heard that I liked better was the new front stage in Fred's (Fred Lynch, Arc Audio dir. of marketing) Passat. I'm not allowed to say what they are but they're drivers from a very, VERY expensive set of Danish home towers and the matching sub with a crap ton of power (like a 2300SE bridged per driver crap ton) with modded SEs. Then the 3 Arc 15s on the 4000SE for times when he wants to get REALLY silly... yeah, I LOVE the way that car sounds. |
