This weekend I went out and bought (2) 6 1/4" speakers and fitted them to the rear door panels, now I just need to cut out the holes in the door panels to fit them since there were none stock!? Has anyone else out there done something like this or does the 8g galant come stock with speakers there?! Thanks!!!
8g does not come stock with this.. you wont really hear the speakers over your 6x9's in the rear deck anyway
No the 8G does not have stock speakers in the rear doors, only the front doors and the rear deck lid.
Damn zigen you beat me too it! :)
Hmm well they are installed and working, & I can clearly notice a difference, as well as input from the rear passenger ha I just need to fix the door panels they are currently off..
ive contemplated this idea of placing speakers in the rear doors, but never went throuh with it. I have though, outfitted some tweeters in there though because i wanted more separation between the speakers and it sounds amazing. I'm personally pleased with how it came out. Glad to hear that yours is coming along well.
Thank you for the input!! Ill be sure to post Pics when I finish tonight! Thanks!

I have had some similar plans to do this as well, but a lil bit different. When I eventually do it I will post pix as well. Ive seen this done before, & I have a pic of it on my computer, but it doesnt have internet. Looks good so far, keep up the good work.
Fill in those edges with something and you, sir, deserve a standing ovation.
Interior looks really good too by the way.
After seeing all this interior work, you have to have some expierence somewhere. Nice work
looks great! tutorial pleease? :)

A fiberglass ring if you could be accurate enough with it to make it fit flush.Quote:

Eh lets see you do it then!? Because what you mentioned is exactly the route I took when trying this, its not easy!Quote:

Mounting the grille to the door panel would be easiest, but it looks like you already cut the hole as big around as the outside of the grille, not the inside diameter.
sure. give me a pair of spekers and some door panels to modify.Quote:

with the hole being bigger you now need something to bridge the gap between the speaker grille and the door panel.
Actually the speaker grille has 3 different diameters each larger as it gets closer to the speaker, I cut the panels to the smalles diameter and left it at that since the door panels curve they did not match up!
Have you tried flexing the grilles? They look like mesh. You should be able to shape them a little bit before they buckle.
I havent tried that yet I will give it a shot tonight im sure I can do it I was just ready to put my doors back on after re-doing the interior! Thanks!
u hsould ask that guy who just did his rear deck in his 9g with the sub and rear speakers... i kno he had some cool grills find out where he got it from! also do u have the exact diamiter of the hole in the rear door? knowing the size might help us to find something for ya!
