I was shocked to hear that to be fair, the way you seem to know your way round the car & electrics is second to none!!

Can you post your pictures up of your speaker holders if you make them? I thought though that you can still secure the 10cm by rotating them on an angle and using only a couple of the stock holes to secure to?? Sure I copied a picture of this to your thread??

yes i will its the tweeter that's the problem it sites high
So hits the card when fitted so the mdf is to offset the hole unit back you see   

Really? How deep are the speakers?? Making me worried now because I want 10cm speakers to!!

Ok  all does anyone have the rear metal mounts for the speakers  so i can save some time so i don`t have two build my own out of sheet metal please.
MDF is just to thick .im off to ebay now but please any one please save me some time .cf_emoticons__BangHead:

Just a thought with your speakers in the rear, there should be a plastic membrane behind the speaker and then just behind the door card which stops the water coming into the car when it drains down the window.
Wont MDF swell up if it gets wet?
You can see the membrane behind my spearkers and how I fitted my 10cm speakers.

Yes i was going to do my own membrane and thank you for pointing   that out but. I just cant  get the infinity 4032cf to fit. but its so close .

Craig,

I'd still be inclined to fit yours the way mark1gls has fitted his just using 2 of the securing mounts. As the stock bracket is for 8cm speakers I don't think your 10's would fit them anyway??

Yes mate i was going two open up the hole to 10 Cm and go from there. After messing around last night i don't think they are going to fit. if i fit them like mark1gls
the card/trim touches the tweeter which bends the card.Also the window hit the magnet when winding down and the magnet is so strong even if i put a small
gap at the back two screws would not hold speaker there for long as soon as window comes down that is.
So i think i have two options
1 fit and don`t use windows LOL
2 get some smaller speakers
So with that any other speaker you could recommend please that will go with my amp.chears

This is bad news !! : (

Infinity don't supply 8cm Speakers….

I would probably look towards something like JL Audio, Hertz in the 8cm range.

Is it just the tweeter that's causing the problem?? Would a slim profile 10cm speaker do the trick?

This is what I want, but you've got me thinking it won't fit : (

Mark - Don't suppose you know your model / brand of speaker so I can x-reference mounting depth and dimensions etc…?

and



  

and this may help

Thats one deep speaker!

Just checked my cheap ones and their depth is 1.7" which is about 4.3cm I think? A big difference compared to yours, but my tweeter sits flush with the outer point of the speaker.

According to the website your speaker has a mounting depth of under 5cm, but they failed to mention the tweeter part of it all!

What you thinking is best here??
