I would recommend Pioneer 6x9s instead if you do want to put those.. the Sony ones are not as clear as the pioneers are. I'm running this stuff with a 60w x 4 Sansui deck..

Hi,

Who did the installation for you?

I have a Rockford Fosgate R400-4D, with a birth sheet of 550rms, 4x Pioneer Pro series 6.5” speakers 110 rms each.
The speaker magnet is pretty huge, the depth of the speaker is 3.5” and my doors are 2.5”

1. Should I get 1” speaker spacers, and wouldn’t the speaker hit my door panel?
2. Do you have an installer you would recommend, in Jo'burg?

Hi,

Has anyone tried installing the Pioneer Pro Series 6' 3/4 speaker in their Polo, ran into some issues, the magnets are huge, and there's a door mechanism in the way.
Would I also need to make modifications to the door panel.

Thanks.
