Rep Power: 332

I'm not sure if this thread belongs in the ICE forum or Member's Rides, but I'm gonna post it here anyways. I just got around installing my new component speakers, and added the spacers because these things are huge, and they were hitting my window. I mounted the tweeters in the door panels, even though it doesn't look all that great. At least it sounds good. Here's a couple of pictures of the speakers, and a couple more random ones of my head unit and my subwoofers. BTW, speakers are MB Quart PCE 216, subs are Infinity Kappa Perfect vq, and head unit is alpine 9833.
Enjoy

Where did you mount the crossover at? I have mine mounted behind the door panel, and I should probably mount them somewhere else.

door grilles-safe assumption would be sticking on the MBQuart logo.

Sub grilles-Parts Express has them in black and chrome.

Looks clean man, nice work. You obviously took your time and it shows. Personally, I'd like the sub grilles better if you took the right one and tilted up so it matches peak to peak with the left. SO both grilles look like this ^. Just my $.02

Congrats, you have my exact system from two years ago

anywayz, did you know that the quart tweeters will fit perfectly in the stock sail panel for an EX?

 
Rep Power: 332

well, can't do anything about it now, I have freaking holes in my door panels. They look ok though.
Yes the grilles were purchased from parts express, and yes I just stuck the mb quart sticker on the front grilles for the speakers...Oh well

crossover is in the picture! I mounted it in the trunk, on the sides

 
Rep Power: 332

I did tilt the sub grilles up but I just liked the way it looks the way I have it right now. I actually bought them cause I still put s*it in my trunk, and I don't wanna damage teh perfects

Hey, as you long as you tried it, I'm satisfied Those are pretty sharp girlles, looks tight.

 
Rep Power: 287

yummy

I wanted grilles that look like the ones JL Audio has on their ProWedge boxes, but you can't get those separate, so I had to settle for these.

 
Rep Power: 347

It was a great system though...I think your ish will sound really good!!

and does it really matter if its MDF woof, or hard plastic for spacers?

Rep Power: 332

Rep Power: 310

Rep Power: 338

give up the info on the spacer..did you make it or buy it?

 
Rep Power: 332

Didn't buy it, I had someone make it for me.

Depends on what matters to you. Ease of obtaining goes to teh plastic ones because of being able to purchase them. I like MDF because of it's density, it's cheap, as you can just use scrap wood, and it doesn't transmit noise, plus it's easily siliconed to the door to provide a full baffle seal.
