hi

6x9s in an e30 is hard work!!!!

all the e30s ive done ive put 16cm 2 ways or 3 ways in. you can get good bass response out of them, if you go for jbl or infinity 16cm speakers the chasis is designed in a way that you can squeeze them into a 13cm hole with minor cuttin of the top fibre board, when i did my 87 e30 they slotted straight in.

but if you still want to go down the 6x9 route, there is a lot of cutting on the top board, dependin on the size of the magnet you may have to cut the metal underneath!! which i try to avoid.

Jon you can buy speaker risers for 6x9`s,saves cutting the shelf!

I cut the shelf (not the metal) and then used some plywood to make a shelf that stretches all the way across the back shelf to raise the 6x9s up enough to fit.

pictures are on my work pc but I'll post soon.

hmm i like the idea of the plywood, but id rather not cut the boot at all.

but i like the sound of speaker risers even more.. where can i get these from mate?

[eko]

Well a mate of mine got some not long ago,about £15 i think,from Autoquip,if you have one local to you,if not im sure Halfords do them?

Made out of Black plastic,about an inch in depth i think!

Should have told that to the owner of my Is

Jon, go to Gk's on north station rd and we sell maystar mdf rings to space 6x9's, either that or cut your own which would be cheaper.

Same here!

[jon_pure_british]

do they just screw on?

[eko]

Jon,ive got a pair of 3/4" MDF 6x9 spacers here if you want them?
Painted Black so would look better cloth covered!

I suppose I kind of bodged my install but I thought they looked good. I put 6X9's in my 316. I got some MDF rectangles cut out the holes using a jigsaw and spayed them mat black and mounted the speakers on them bolted (long bolts) to the metal shelf.

Was very secure
