I got a 6.5" component fitted on my front door.
the shop that did the cutting of the panel didnt do a good job.
although the size was correct,when i wind down my windows the window will hit the speaker slightly.
this is because the the 6.5" is kinda deep, about 8cm.
if im not mistaken there are some kind of "spacers" to put between the speakers and door panel to avoid this problem.
where to find?how much?
any other suggestions?

most of the accessories shop does that

but u shud go back to where u fit them to ask them to settle it
normally installation cost include the spacer already

issit like a piece of ring made of wood?
i fix at a place far from my house,so lazy wana go back.
if possible wana DIY.
any idea price?

those mdf cost less than rm30 for a big piece
problem is who's gonna cut it for u

i heard of this common problem with P2 small cars like kancil and kelisa...are u driving one bro ?

i wonder why when u did ur comps they didnt mention it to u cos when i asked on quotation to put comps on my kelisa doors, they told me need to put spacers to eliminate the window problem...

better go to them again and ask them to do it, since they did a piss poor job for u...

What car you driving?
And which location you install the component...?

Oh..
My Kelisa never facing this kind of problem... Kelisa have the component space le..because front was stock 6" speaker space ma

If Proton Saga (new one with noise paip) might hard to install component la...

the stock speaker has a tiny magnet mah]
TS change to an aftermarket one liaw

so the window will hit the magnet if wind down

TS,
well..i think my installer is clever enuf to tell me that it's necessary to add a spacer ...
but anyhow i also enquire them ler...
my spacer is made from fibre 1

it depends mah
some speakers need a deeper mounting depth than others

yep....example my kelisa...

Alpine Type S components can fit in nicely with the baffle (or that wooden ring as u guys call it).

but the Alpine Type R cannot. the installer tried installing it so many different ways.... so many different baffles all oso cannot masuk. which is why in the end i settled for the Type S

you should change to bigger car

thats rite....another story i heard is that when we use our aftermarket speakers, the speaker magnet tend to expand (mengembang) so it will hit the window or block the window wind down path ...might be true also ler....

i think if everyone got good money sure they will but thanks to our gomen, put tax so high on non-national cars so we all have to settle for national cars....hahahahaha...wat a joke this is [i didnt mean ur post (N)3].......

dun wan...i love my kelisa...

fuel efficient... so that i can have extra money to spend on my ICE

another way is install the sub at the door panel itself
then fibre an enclosure for it...
better effect than using baffle

u mean sub or component speaker ? as far as i know, in my beginner ICE knowledge experience, i have not came across any car which has sub mounted on a door panel, atleast not at the side doors...

ur idea seems OK, but making a fibre enclosure would be costly ....just like those custom car body kit/skirting which is expensive...

Me too ...hehe

yup...but i didnt wanna cut the door panel as i wanted to maintain its originality as much as possible... plus wanna put fibre somemore....

that makes three of us....

probably will keep the car as long as i live....

sub as in mid-bass kot
btw.. fibre the door panel is affordable
less than rm500 can settle everything

for a P2 small car like kancil or kelisa, RM500 sounds a lot dude ....better spend it improving ur ICE ....atleast thats wat i would do or other performance mods....hehehehe....

the car is a wira.
wheres ur installer?any good ones to recommend?
low budget one la.
how much u paod for ur fibre spacer?

i am from puchong, the installer is at aman suria, kelana jaya

my fibre panel is done for less than rm500
cos i am very fren with the boss..so got further discount
gave him more than 10k business already
but the car is sold liao T_T

Custom Fiber enclosure for the front 6.5" mid-bass do not cost that much in most cars(between $250 to $350) but you will need at least 2 days to get it completed; can always dismantle door panel & leave it at shop while you drive around without it for 2 to 3 days.

got shop at pudu... rm15 to 20...cheap...
