and / or you can buy this

I've heard you can pull the edge of a towel or wash cloth behind it and it will snag on that clip and pull it out. Haven't tried it yet as I have not yet needed to take my door panel off.

where can i get the tool to remove the clip....i've tried with a towel...but it has failed

derickveliz2 · 11-22-2010, 11:11 PM

I used to do it just using a flat screw driver!

packetrace · 11-23-2010, 07:58 AM

i'll try with just a screw driver....you took a smal one ? I've tried with something slim but never find the clip..

We are planning on using 8 of them vented in this '82 Malibu wagon we have going on at the shop.

That should get a little loud with the 6K watts we have going on...

How did it go?

D.

packetrace · 01-20-2011, 04:30 PM

wooowwwww i completely forgot yarisworld :O i did not came since a long time :O

i ve made the clips removed at my toyota dealer as i went there for an oil change.....

i've installed the pionner 6.5'' in the door

i'Ve attached the tweeter to the door near the 6.5'' as you told me....

yesterday was a sad day.....come one drove on a red light and hurt my car.....i dont have front bumper anymore...my car went to the toyota dealer today...ill get it back soon ! I HOPE

About the sound it gives .....wellll its not as good as i tought......the 6.5'' sound great until I reach 25/35 of volume.....ans they are not amplified.....they are wired to the stock wire....with the 12db crossover....

they kind of make unpleasant noise...scratching noise ....the tweeter also make it...but not as much.....

maybe its because of the door box...or no thing deadended....or the stock wire.....

derickveliz2 · 01-21-2011, 02:43 AM

I'm sorry to hear about the accident.

I hope you are ok.

Yes, the Pioneer (Premier 6.5 components) are hungry for power, same for the Hifonic tweeters!

packetrace · 01-21-2011, 12:23 PM

So.....what do I need to do to make them sound better....

AMPLIFICATION! get a good amp.

Did you install the EQ-6500?

Are you running your speakers out of your deck?

D.

packetrace · 01-21-2011, 09:48 PM

I haven't insalled the eq6500 since i dont know where to mount it...and I dont have ampli for the speaker....they are actually wired to the stock wire...so...out of the deck...!

where had you mounted it ?

what kind of good amp should i buy....an amp that i could do a 3-way component like yours but later on!

thanks

_S7V7N_ · 01-21-2011, 09:59 PM

I'm running 87 watts rms to my Hifonics components, and they sound okay, I'm fixin to add some cheap NB 1 tweeters to catch the high hats and some of the other higher frequency sound on the music, to help even out the hi's. Them lil cheap things are 97 db sensitivity so i can get away with just running them off the deck power. Check on Amazon for a 4 channel amp, i got mine for under 100 bucks, but i'm also going with an Okay brand, not top of the line stuff like Sqcomp and Derick. My amp is a Crunch 1400.4 I went with Maxxsonics amps. I also have a 1200 Brutus for the subs. Maxxsonics also makes Mb Quart, which is the top of the line brand for Maxxsonics. They also manufactured the Autotek brand as well. I want to go on ahead and just grab the 2000 watt brutus, but i don't think i can provide the power to feed that amp. Once i can stay around 14.4 Volts, then i'll consider the bigger amp.

I would install the eq6500 under the steering wheel or inside the glove compartment.

Since you all ready have a Hifonics you could get a HFi100.2 and run passive 100x2 into the 6.5 + Tweeters Passive means that you are going to use the x-over between the amp and the speakers.

HFi100.2 LINK

You could still run passive with a 3 way system with a x-over and not breaking the bank going Active, and still use only 2 amps 1 for the sub and 1 for the speakers (Mid-bass 6.5", 3" mids, tweeters)

Then if you really want to go 3 way active, it's a complete different story.
