Of course the 6X9s dont fit....sigh, but could i just bend the trunk springs i have now to make them go around the magnet? Would they still function properly?
thanks

i had infinity kappas in my car for a short while, they were WAY too big to fit. but i noticed that the rear of the speaker was soft plastic, (kinda rubbery) so i figured what teh hell, and i screwed donw the speakers and just bent the springs that way. worked fine.

later i took out those 6x9's and also teh springs, cause i was exploring teh idea of a hydraulic trunk opener. i fout it to be much easier to have the springs in there, like a counter balence, then use the piston to simply provide enough force to raise the trunk lid. when i reinstalled the trunk springs, i turned them backwards, so teh bump in teh spring pointed up, so i could have more trunk clearance.

works great!

the kickers i have (2ways) have no plastic whatsoever. Could I just buy the spoiler trunk springs? are they shaped differently? I'm still thinkin to heat up the bar with a torch then bend it using a vice or something....[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] when my dad gets home he will probably think of something. ahhh dad to the rescue
thanks rabbit

how much clearance do you need? maybe you can just torque them down.....
