Also, how does a good 4x6 plate compare to a 4x6 coaxial?

thanks.



I installed a set on Eclipse 4"x10" tri-axials first. Sounded pretty, good, but these Infinity's blow them out of the water. In general, a quality set of components will produce better, more accurate sound than a co-axial. A round woofer can play louder than an oval speaker with less distortion. Install components for the front and 4"x6" plates for the rear.

The 4"x6" plates will also fit better in the pillar because the space is quite shallow and larger magnets on a co-axial don't always fit (too deep). The space is deeper in the lower section of the pillar behind the speakers. Because the plate mounts the woofer off to one side, mounting the speaker in the pillar with the woofer in the lower side of the opening usually fits.

Thanks for the template..nice job!

I did this a few years ago with a set of 4" Kappa components. At the time I had access to a laser cutter/engraver so I cut mine out of 1/8" plexiglas and did some decoration with paint and the laser:



You can probably find someone nearby that has one of these lasers that would cut out a pair for you for a reasonable price, especially nice if you compete in any stereo competitions.

~edit~ to add a shot of the 4x6 plates referred to in the thread:

I've done up a template that can be used to cut out dash plates. I used 3/16" hardboard.


The file is in MS Word format and will print in proper scale on regular letter size paper.
DOWNLOAD the file from here: http://www.fierosound.com/speaker%20plate.doc

Let us know how this works out for you...

There's no password attached to the file. Download from the link by "Right-Click - Save As" to save to your machine. After it's saved, opening it should bring in on screen in MicroSoft Word. Do you have MS Word protected?

Can someone give this guy a + for the hard work and a good idea? - I already had him down for a +++ for the muffler suggestion for my 3800sc engine build

I'm in the process of doing this with Infinity reference 5.25 and they are not playing nicely. has anyone else had trouble especially on the Drivers side? seem like the back of the instrument panel housing is in the way.
