On the drive down to Cars and Coffee, turns out that just a headunit in #500, wasn’t going to cut it. The stock 22 year old Kenwood N’Fit speakers had seen better days. The rear 3 ways were buzzing, and the fronts were not much better.
| Its missing a little bit of the speaker surround. |
I pulled the door panel off on the drivers side to check out the speaker. Wanted to make sure before I purchased anything, that it was actually a factory size, and hadn’t been altered. The stock R32 door speakers are a 4″x 6″ plate. One of those odd sizes. It seems the consensus on the internet is to just fabricate up a plate, and bolt a 6.5 inch speaker to it. Lacking any motivation to go on a building spree, I found some Polk Audio 4″ x 6″ plates. They more or less should have screwed right in, but the Nissan and the Polk need some help to get along.
| Only took a little bit of cutting, welding, and grinding to make them fit. |
The rear speakers also had a slight buzzing issue.
| Might be missing some pieces. I am no speaker tech though. |
The rear speakers were some kind of dealer install. 3 way Kenwood N-Fit’s. The bigger speaker was a massive 4 inch. While I was in Best Buy picking up the front 4″ x 6″ plates, I found some 4″ Pioneer speakers to replace the 4″ in the Kenwood’s, which had a few issues.
| If I had real speakers, they would go here in the rear deck, not be bolted to here. |
Its a start. At least there are four working speakers in the car now, or is that 8? Onto tomorrow and a photo shoot.
