92EuroScott Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 I searched and couldn't find anything, anyone have any pics and/or info on putting speakers in the front doors of a Lumina sedan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodeen2007 Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 gonna have to be a custom build . i dont think any of the sedans came with factory door speakers. i think some of the lumina coupes did with the bose setup . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92EuroScott Posted June 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Yea, I've found threads of people talking about doing it, but no one posted any pics or anything. I guess when I get the chance to take off my panels i'll see if there is room for the speakers I want to put in. If I do I'll post pics for anyone else interested.

bodeen2007 Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 i have tried before and there is room if you use a custom pod. i think i tried to mount the speaker straight to the door and either the window hit ithe magnet or the regulater hit it. i cant remember . was trying to use a pod out of a blazers rear door but could never get it to look right plus i had to get rid of the little tray at the bottom of the door . i was also trying to mount 6.5" mids so u might be able to do it with smaller speakers . good luck hope u have better luck then me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92EuroScott Posted June 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_18260_JVC-CS-XM620.html Those are said speakers in question. They say 6.5" but are very shallow and arn't actually 6.5s as they don't fit in a 6.5 opening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodeen2007 Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 you could always make a spacer out of a piece wood to go between the door and the speaker . but those might work they look alot shallower then the speakers i tried to mount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addicted2bass Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 I put 6.5" speakers in the doors of my 93 Lumina sedan i had. I never did take any pictures though. There is tons of room in there. Just cut out a hole in the metal of the inner door skin. Then cut a hole in the panel and mount the speaker grills onto it. I just used a regular set of 6.5s not shallow mount. This will only work if you have power windows, roll windows and you won't be able to fit them becasue thats where the crank goes.

92EuroScott Posted June 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Well I tore my panels off earlier today, and found a hole big enough that I could mount them in the hole. I stopped there because I don't have something to cut the door panel with, but window down and everything, I had plenty of room. Once I get something to cut it up with I'll finish it, and post pics.

92EuroScott Posted July 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 So for anyone interested, here are the pictures of the hole I found in the door. Once I get a set of 4x6's in my dash I am gonna finish putting these in the doors. speaker in the hole, although it will be mounted on the door, not the hole.

white4d96 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Argh, I forgot you guys don't have a cupholder there. If I wanna use that spot I have to do some surgery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92EuroScott Posted July 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Yea, as soon as my 4x6's get here I'm gonna mount those on the door panel, I realize its not the best way to do it, but it'll work for now. I do have the covers for those JVC's so it won't look stupid. I guess I'll start updating this one since the other got locked, I'm looking into a new HU. Another JVC. I currently have this one http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_27049_JVC-KD-R418.html , but am thinking of upgrading when the money comes around, to this http://www.audiosavings.com/products/Website/JVC-KD-R810-CAR-CD-MP3-RECEIVER-w-BLUETOOTHDUAL-USB-IN/KDR810---TS1223.aspx . Has front, rear, and sub out, and also has dual usbs with ipod control, my current one has no support for ipods, and only has rear/sub switchable out.

White93z34 Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 you actually could get a lumina sedan with bose door speakers, just extremely hard to find though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addicted2bass Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 That JVC radio look pretty good for the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92EuroScott Posted July 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Got my 4x6's monday, heres a shot. And put the JVC's in the doors last night, came out better than I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92EuroScott Posted July 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 So I'm thinking about picking up another set of these JVC's for the rear doors as well. Not 100% sure if I will or not, I just like how these came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotorCityFats Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Most audio installers will agree that a rear stage is the least of your concerns... I have a 1997 Lumina and I fit 6.5 "2 way components" in the front doors with no modification but could only use 3 of the 4 screws but no rattles and the door panels fit... I put the tweeter in the door sail.. its not the best spot but was sufficient and quick.. the rears I went with very cheap 6X9 3ways and tied them together with a Hifonics ZXi80.4 then ditched any chance of a trunk with a home built custom ported box with (2) 12" kicker comps 4 ohm running 2 ohm with a Hifonics BRZ1200.1D... I am still working on cleaning up the install but including all wiring, supply's and equipment I am still under $500 total and it sounds great.... but then my engine started to knock..

Garrett Powered Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 there is a better jvc than that for 150. it has 3 sets of 5v rca's. I just got it and accidentally paid 199 though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92EuroScott Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 So just an update, got bored today and decided to see what I could do about putting the 6.5" Components in the doors, and it worked! Pics to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 olds vert Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Can't wait to see some pictures. I put speakers in my doors. Then never put a whole in for the speakers. A lot of the sound is dampened, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jprice90 Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 yes definitely post pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92EuroScott Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 I've got a crappy one on my phone. They are in the same spot as the 6"s i had in the doors, I just thought the motor/magnet was too big to fit. I'll get some good pictures after school tomorrow. I'm also going to put them on an amp now as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92EuroScott Posted August 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 So I've been tied up with school, so I haven't gotten pictures yet. I also ordered a second set of tweeters for the front doors. http://www.audiosavings.com/products/Car-Speakers,Car-Speakers/2%29-QUANTUM-AUDIO-1-SWIVEL-DOME-CAR-TWEETERS-CROSSOVERS/QS2TW.aspx They were on sale last friday for $5 and i was wanting a pair anyways, so I had to order some. I promise pics once these are here and installed as well, which should be friday. Next will be some 6x9s for the rear deck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92EuroScott Posted September 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 (edited) So my tweets still arn't here, but I took the JVCs I had in the front doors and put them in the back since my components are up front. I'll go snap some pictures now. Pics Front doors Rears Edited September 5, 2011 by 92EuroScott Added pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
