Some Dumb Speaker Install Q's =)...
Hi guys/gals! Great site here
I am looking at upgrading to the MB Quart RCE series speakers (the 16 model in the front and 13 in the rear). I have a LIFTBACK This will be my first attempt at a component install, and I really need advice from the more educated 1) I have the SAT6 brackets, and will be drilling out the rivets on the old speaker brackets. What kind of bolt/screw do I need to attach the new adapter to the holes the rivets were in? Do I need to use a nut/bolt then tighten it from behind? Or is there an easier way? 2) I am thinking I'll just try a coaxial set-up for both sets for now (don't want to try mounting the tweeters unless I have to lol), but WHERE do I mount the crossover? Is there a good spot in the door anyone has found? Should I try and use some double sided tape or adhesive (perhaps on top of some dynamat so it won't rattle??)? 3) Can I use SAT6 Brackets to mount 6.5" speakers in the REAR? Or am I stuck with the 5.25"ers? I know I will have to drill new holes in the SAT6's to mount them in the rear (I did a little reading here first hehe...), but am at a loss as to whether or not that will open up the size possibility to 6.5"? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tim |

Yes u can install the Sat6's in the rear.
BUT you have to drill ONE hole as the sat6 spacer is too big for the rear. You can screw in 2 holes from the sat6's no problem. But the 3rd hole you have to drill in the metal and screw it in. Hope that answers your question :)

Thank you both
I figured I could get the SAT6 to fit with a drill hehe, but will the RCE-216 (6.5") fit in the rear with that adapter or will I need to bulk it up a little? Or maybe I should just go with the RCE-213's for the rear as some people have? Would that (5.25") fit in the SAT6 bracket? Sorry for the dumb questions haha... I just like to do my homework FIRST Tim PS: I have my heart set on the JVC KD-AVX2 head unit, and am going with the MB Quart speakers all around. I don't listen to a lot of super bass heavy music, and don't think I really need a sub. Do you think I'll get enough thump out of the Quarts with just a decent amp? I am going to try em without one first, but would the next logical step be a sub or an amp? Thanks so much again! My Yaris (Charlotte) and I both appreciate it! |
