Sound System Installation Problems!!!

04stang123456789 · April 25th, 2009, 02:11 PM

HELP...I am trying to put my new speakers in my 04 stang and I cannot figure out how to get the tweeter housing off to put the new one in! Can somebody please help me ASAP I need to get it in soon!

wraitherx · April 25th, 2009, 06:10 PM

that tweeter grill just pops off... then the back housing has i believe a 8mm bolt holding it to the door and thats it.

04stang123456789 · April 25th, 2009, 07:59 PM

i have phoenix gold rsd 6.5" components with tweeters, do you think the tweeters will fit in the stock housing?

wraitherx · April 25th, 2009, 08:07 PM

they might be smaller but you can get a metal bracket and custom make your own its fairly easy.

04stang123456789 · April 25th, 2009, 08:40 PM

yea, thats what I had to do with the door speakers for the mid bass. Thanks again for all of your help

wraitherx · April 25th, 2009, 08:42 PM

glad to be of help

I have another question for you... Is there somewhere that I can purchase speaker adapterts for my new speakers? If there is, could you tell me a site or send a link? I need them for the mid bass as well as the tweeters. I cannot make my own because I do not have the material or tools to do so.

wraitherx · April 26th, 2009, 05:32 PM

here are the 6 1/2 to 6x8 speaker adapter that i was talking about. alot of the component systems come with this in the packaging. as fas as the tweeters are concerned Im not sure if they make one.

Amazon.com: Scosche SA68 Convertible 6x8-Inch Speaker Adapter - Pair: Electronics

04stang123456789 · April 26th, 2009, 08:42 PM

The problem is... I bought those same speaker adapters, except from a different site. I got them from a site called sonicelectronix.com... here is the link

Scosche SA68 Adapter Brackets Speaker Installation Car Accessories and Installation Car Audio and Video - Sonic Electronix

the problem is that I got them and they did not fit my speakers! I have the 6.5" components and they didnt fit. Here is a link of the speakers that I purchased...

Phoenix Gold RSd 6.5 (RSd6.5) (rsd65) 6-1/2" Speakers Car Speakers Car Audio and Video - Sonic Electronix

it's odd that they do not fit, also you are not in the business of making tweeter adapters right?

wraitherx · April 26th, 2009, 09:16 PM

im thinking that the basket of your speaker is larger then 5". if this is so then you are gonna have to modify the opening on the bracket to make the speaker fit. i can make you one if you would like, or I can show you how to make it.

04stang123456789 · April 26th, 2009, 10:24 PM

What would I have to use to modify the bracket? and how much would you charge to make me some brackets? and I do not think I could make my own because I do not have a lot of tools to wor with

wraitherx · April 26th, 2009, 10:34 PM

to modify the bracket for the subs all you need to do is to make the opening a little bigger you can start by etching a circle around the cutout (a little bit bigger) and you can use a blade or anything to cut through the ABS plastic. now as far as the tweeters are concerned what you can do is get a piece of ABS plastic, take your stock tweeter and trace the outline onto the abs, then cut it out. this is basically just like the sub brackets. next thing is you are going to take the tweeter and trace its outer dimension onto it, cut it out and then take your tweeter and mount into the hole using some hot glue. I know you are thinking "hot glue?" but trust me it works and holds. make sure you use the industrial strength glue as it adheres alot better. I used metal brackets on mine.

04stang123456789 · April 26th, 2009, 10:41 PM

where could I get ABS plastic, and what could I use to cut through it in a perfect circle?

wraitherx · April 26th, 2009, 10:42 PM

if youve got a drill you can use a "hole saw" it cuts out a perfect circle. hold on im gonna make you a diagram on what ive made for my customers.

wraitherx · April 26th, 2009, 10:56 PM

almost done

wraitherx · April 26th, 2009, 11:11 PM

here you go bro

sorry it took so long, this is what i made for customers with 460's and wanted to install components. This is made out of ABS.

wraitherx · April 26th, 2009, 11:16 PM

if you want me to make you one let me know and I can

wraitherx · April 26th, 2009, 11:18 PM

also, obviously it wont be that deep so that the tweeter is all in there, i would make it so that is shallow enough that you tweeter is just about touching the 460 grill

04stang123456789 · April 26th, 2009, 11:21 PM

if you could make me a bracket for the tweeter that would be great, I don't think I would be able to make it myself and I think you would do a much better job at it. How much will it cost for you to make it and ship it to me?

wraitherx · April 26th, 2009, 11:23 PM

whats your zip?
