My Celica hifi project Options

We did "rip" the vinyl off the door as you may see in the pictures.
Then we add some spattle, and this way builing up the door to a flat round surface.

Now we are almost finished with the new floor, and the wiring.
I think we should be done next weekend.

Looks great! You are using some of my ideas in the trunk.. (I am from Norway too, got a big worklog on diskusjon.no)


A nice tip would be to separate the power and signal cables to prevent noise. The connection cables are good though, but it may be noise..


Are you planning to do some dampening in the trunk with vibroplast?

We was not happy with the rear speaker instalation, so we have now made 2 MDF adapter rings.
This way we got the speaker closer to the "door panel", and the acoustic shortcircuite is now history.
We did also added a foam ring around the speaker, just like the originale ones.

That looks great

That is basically what i had in mind when i upgrade my rears to 6x9s, but i was worried about putting the plastic piece back over it, when you used the think mdf board does the plastic piece fit right back where it should or di you have osme fitament problems?

Great build

[Rizer]

IT'S ALIVE AND KICKING!!!
Pics will come.

Mine 6,5" fitted just like the origian ones, no problems at all.
I shall take some pics, and post them soon.

Here we have some pictures of the rearspeakers in place.
As you can see, they fit snug thanks to the MDF rings and foamsurrondings.
This is very important, as you will loos the closed box effect with out it.

Well there has been a little slow around updates, now that the system is up and working.
Here is a picture of the half finished installation.

not convinced with how the power and speaker cable is run together to be honest. loving the rear speakers though

[Daftboy]

(Front)
Hertz ESK 163L Speakers
6 1/2 inch Woofer
4 inch Mid range
3/4 inch Tweeter
92 dB/spl
250W peak 125W RMS
50Hz - 23 kHz
4 Ohm
(Rear)
Hertz DCX 165
6 1/2 inch 2 way Coaxial
93 dB/spl

and are you going to setup a 4 way for them ? or only a amp for the woofers?

Oh.. Yes it's just temporary, we was so eager to hear what it sounds like, so everything was just "thrown in".
We will correct this later

What are you talking about exactly with the closed box effect for the rears? Mine sound pretty bad and I'm trying to figure out why.

Easy, they're blown

Nah, just take a look at the cone, make sure they're in good condition. If you have new ones installed, then make sure that everything is tied down correctly. Follow this guy's plan and put foam in between the speaker and the adapter/holder. This will eliminate rattle. I would also recommend the 3/4 panel dampening, it'll save you a lot of hassle later.

Rizer, if you are planning on redoing the wiring to the rear, put down some sound dampening material along the whole bed of the car. It'll help out a LOT when you cruise on the freeway. Helps eliminate a vast majority of the road noise we suffer from, you'll thank me later! :-D

Yeah right, I would kill if I my two-month old speakers were blown! It's distortion. I think my HU isn't powerful enough to power all four. They're also sitting on the old glue from the speaker, so it's not rattle. The fronts are sealed onto the adaptors with the adapters sealed to the housing. I think I might just need an amp...

And looking at his pictures, I don't even know if I have that surround that he has. Would the foam in between the speaker and the housing really help, since it's already seated in well enough.
