I need help putting in new speakers

[kylejohnson]

I have two new 6x9 speakers and i am going to put them where the old ones where in the back but sense they are bigger i need to make mounts for them so does anyone know how to make mounts for these speakers

and make all of that fit into this much space.

If you really want to ruin your 4Runner with those ugly speakers, then cut out some plywood and screw em in.

I'm 16 and most of my friends would like those :roadkill:

If you want them in you rig, just get some boxes or a single box for 6x9 speakers. dont ruin it by cutting holes in it.
But realize they sound like crap! If you want good sound you need to buy quality.

 

[kylejohnson]

but how do you know if they sound good or not i have had them hooked up already and they dont sound bad

Im an AudioFile & Ive heard them before.
To give you an Idea of what I think quality is: I own Ohm Walsh Home speakers F | Ohm Speakers | Custom Audiophile Speakers for Music & Home Theater (not some cheap swap meet brand or Walmart Sony crap.) for my 4runner i have a set of older German made MBQuart 4", 5 1/4", 6", 8", 6 titanium tweeters (all with all the crossovers) & 1 10" sub. + a Xtant 5-Channel Amp.

Trust me listen to the guys. Don't go cutting up your truck to put in those speakers. Buy boxes like these and secure them in the bed so its nothing permanent.

I hate to revive a dead thread but how in the world do you have room for all of those speakers?

 

[Stacey68]

I would also like know how you fit all those speakers in! Possibly any photos of your speaker setup Airdreams1??

I really gotta start staying out of these audio threads on general car message boards.....

1) first the Boss 6x9's....... a la skulls of death there
2) then.... I'm an audiofile....:rofl:

The standard speakers were 5". There's a bit of room back there. Over the weekend I made 8" x 22" plywood mounts for some 5" Infinity speakers and used lipstick on a wire coat hanger to pinpoint the center to place the speakers exactly behind the stock holes in the plastic. I wrapped the plywood on both sides with duct insulation that looks like the stuff in the following picture. I put boom mat speaker baffles behind the speakers and lined all the metal in the rear. I took pictures but my iPhone now takes 24 hours to upload to photobucket. Yeah, I'm not standing in line for a new iPhone yet. My family was away for the weekend so I washed the rear plastic panels in the Jacuzzi. I'm going to paint them. I pretty much ended up with what skpuddydad did here. He had the best build thread on here IMO. He used
6x9's:

Here's his build. My first 88 4Runner was the same color:

I finally had my uploads show up. The inside is covered in the foil insulation and the board is covered on both sides with insulation. It's hard to tell:

With the plastic back on you can't tell the speakers are there:

This is what the back side of the panels look like:

Nervo...Where did you get your baffle backers? You don't have a template of that plywood do you. Did you just notch for the top rear window defeat switch on the drivers side?
