Speaker Adapter Questions

[justjuiceit]

I have a 1993 S13 Coupe with a single 4X6 in the front. My passenger side just has a big hole in the door! lol Anyway, I got some 6.5 adapters and speakers. Now the hack before me had some kind of wood and a few sheet metal screws holding the one speaker in.

The are 4 holes for the adapter plate near the holes for the plastic trim clips. The garage I was working in was poorly lit so I could not tell if there were threads in these holes. If there are threads, what size bolt should I use? Do people just use the christmas tree plastic clips? Should I just use a larger self taping screw?

If my car was not so hacked, it would be easy to figure out.... I went to the junkyard to take a look, but there were just big holes in the door, like my passenger side!

eh?

just put the speakers in.

cut stuff if theres junk in the way

and just use self taping screws those will be fine.

There is suppose to be a plastic piece holding your 4*6 in, but seems like you don't have one. The 6.5 adapters use the original screws and holes to mount, so go to the junk yard and find a S13 and take those screws that is holding the plastic pieces on.

Yeah my last trip to the junkyard, somebody had already taken all the screws! lol I have a huge jar full of bolts and none of them were the right size. Anyway, I went to another yard and they had all the screws. It was informative to see what was originally there!

I would, but my tap set is a couple hundred miles away! I have the right screws now, so it should be all good. Anything is much better than the zip ties I have in there now!
