This is how the Infinity components fit into the 4"x10" dash opening. 5.25" woofer and 1" tweeter


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.

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.

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?

-M

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 ?

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:

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
