INFINITY COMPONENTS

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thats about it yeh

Unfortunately with the arrival of the sunshine I have run out of bothered to fit the mids...I will continue next week sometime

Well people have been asking about these infinity components, so i bought myself some, and i'll show you how i did it for you all to see if you haven't done them already

As Phil said above the tweeters are very easy to fit and with the foam wrapped around them make for a snug tight fit

Heres a pic of the glove box and surrounding trim removed

After removing the door card
See how to here

After the door card was removed i found the surround for the original speakers

Which i removed

Now some people have said to modify this, i prefer the word butcher!

But even so it holds the mid a treat

I then put some dynamat on the door surrounding the speaker hole

Cut the hole and returned the original housing back into position

Added the metal surround just screwing it straight into the plastic of the original surround

Then the mid screws directly on the metal surround, job done

Well for the mids anyway door cards returned and trim etc,

First one took me a while as it was trial and error, but second took me about an hour, main time was feeding in the new cable which was an arse to do.

Hope this helps some of you out, as you can see not too much work needed

Helps me out massively as I ran out of bothered to fit the mids so far

I think I will go down the route of cutting some MDF rings though instead of butchering the oem speaker mounts as when I sell the car I can put the oem speakers back in :wink:

Oh and with the tweeters I did the same as you but then wrapped black insulating tape over the top of the foam and it makes it a bit neater when dropped them in place :wink:

Thanks for the pics 8)

I was going to go down the MDF route, but thought i'd try this way first, and as my car never came with front speakers it hasnt bothered me, just happy it all fits so well.

sounds great too

sounds great too

Now that is what I wanted to hear

andy do you have pics of the mids with the door cards refitted just to see what it looks like completed...

thanks....

Also do you think these would fit the DC5 rather than messing with the original grills

With the door cards fitted mate, it looks normal, cant even tell that you've been near the door, i kept for card as is and it fitted straight back on no problems,

one thing i will say though, after playing about with the sound a little today, the lack of sound deadening in the car is noticeable to the sound the speakers could potentially produce, but thats what the car is all about

And stu, they would possibly fit, just depends on the thickness of them really, if its similar to the oem mount thickness then i should think they would work

With regards to the tweeters...

I mounted mine facing straight up thinking they would bounce the sound off the windscreen, but you have angled yours...

Which do you think would be preferebale :?

It recommends that the tweeters face the user for better sound, so angled both mine into the car and towrads the centre, which essentially enables me to receive the sound from both tweeters, so if you can imagine they are more or less both pointing at me.

But what i'd suggest is, see how it sounds for you, the tweeters are easily adjusted, so once up and running, have a little play, see whats best for your ears

I think I'm going to do this mod, I've owned the car since Thusday night, the standard speakers are absmal, just to x2 confirm, once everything is back in place it looks 100% oem?

Yes mate, well it does for me

All with the exception of the components as you can see on the photo

 

[keendeano]

Thanks Right the first purchase for the car, I've only owned it two days

 

[Andywilkinson]

Good luck mate, its a big slippery slope!

 

[impne]

I must say top job andy on the install and guide xthumbsup

I haven't got my car yet but messing with the stereo was not on my list at all until I've read a few posts in the ice section, are these cars all different as in some have speakers, some don't and some are crap?

Am I going to need to do this when mine arrives because if it does come with them the quality will be poor

 

[keendeano]

Mine has rear speakers, do they all have rear speakers? They are the worst sounding speakers I've ever heard, is there a direct replacement again without loosing the Oem look? Tia

 

[keendeano]

Just got me speakers, cheers guys Just got to get them fitted now.

 

[Andywilkinson]

Let us know how you get on and if you install them any differently, cheers
