6.5s in grand am front doors

Post by colemanyoungerinalaska »

So today i was putting in some new reverse lights in my car since they were broken when i was hit then i decided change out my stock 4x6s with some planet audio bb460s

the wire is in a few photos because i was checking to see how much ill need for my amp installs later on
heres some pictures of the 460s outside of the car then in i think theres some of the stock speakers too
after listening for a while i decided i am not happy with the sound they sound great in the dash of a g20 van but not good in the door of a grand am so im planning on putting my old set of focal 165hc in the door thing is i dont want to cut the door
anyone have experience with doing this and have any tips or tricks?
i dont know if theyll fit behind the panel with an adapter plate so i was thinking about mounting them to the door thing is i dont want to do much damage to the car im thinking i can do it in a way that when i get rid of the car i can take them out and cover any cuts or holes in the door panel with the stock grill.
as for the setup right now im using the stock stereo im looking into the pioneer premier line of head units but i wont get one til im back from fishing. will probably use 1 lightning audio x2 neo 12 (need a new box) for my sub and stock rears might remove them or change out.

I cant click on any of those to enlarge them. As soon as I mouse over them the linkage box thing pops up covering the picture.

rings mounted on the outside of the door door is too shallow for my focals to go behind it. still aiming them left side is off a bit stock tweeter locations really annoy me too. not sure how exactly im gonna seal it up and all that thinking about using this stuff i use on boats to patch holes and cracks or cover bolts called splash zone or something equivalent to it then painting it to match the doors

whats the hardening time on it and how tough is it i know that splash zone gets extremely strong and has a 1 hour working time. its an awesome epoxy its pretty expensive though about 50 a quart depending on where i buy it.
