Plates to mount components in dash (Page 1/5)
fierosound JAN 29, 08:03 PM
This is how the Infinity components fit into the 4"x10" dash opening. 5.25" woofer and 1" tweeter
Woofers with BIG magnets can cause clearance problems with the HVAC duct on the driver's side.
It may be necessary to heat the duct with a heat gun and bend it in slightly.



This is how the Infinity components fit into the 4"x10" dash opening. 5.25" woofer and 1" tweeter on a speaker plate made from 3/16" hardboard.

I've done up a template that can be used to cut out dash plates. The hardboard can be pretty fragile, especially around the 5.25" cutout, so alternative materials such as 1/4" ABS plastic could be used.



The file is in MS Word format and will print in proper scale on regular letter size paper.

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

I want to do this but im a little incompetent on audio so how would you hook both of these speakers up on one channel? Thanks for the template.

Any component set will come with a passive crossover - 2 wires in, 4 wires out.
2 to the woofer, 2 to the tweeter. This is the Infinity KAPPA 50.7CS set I installed.



The woofer has a Neodymium magnet and heatsink. Very compact.

Sitting around reading links and I decided to print out your template, I gotta say the time you put into this shows in the quality.

Very impressive, +4U.

Thanks. Cut one out of cardboard first. It gives you a good idea of how it fits in the dash. Have fun!

How does this sound compared to a quality 4x10 coaxial?
Also, how does a good 4x6 plate compare to a 4x6 coaxial?

thanks.

I had the same question. How do they compare to having Sony Xplod's (don't like the brand for speakers) or Pioneer 4"x10"? Or 4"x6"?

I'm assuming 2-way is needed to have a decent range and sound quality from the speakers.. Right?

Will a 6" or a 6 x 9 fit under this area in the dash with adapter plate holding it to the bottome of the dash ?
