good combo for speakers?

no, i have a 2006 v6 se w/ jbl premium w/o navi

Then you have 6x9s all around (Crutchfield is mistaken). The Infinity Kappas will fit (along with any other 6x9 speaker)... the only issue you may run into is magnet spacing, which is a pretty simple fix (just make some simple spacers). Make sure you put your windows down a couple times to ensure no rubbing after you get your speakers in, and before you put your door trim back on.

Front Speakers


Rear Speakers


Dash Speakers


Amp (mounted behind glove box)


My Boston Acoustics Z6 (6.5") in the factory door location

You can see I had to manufacture a custom trim piece to fill the oval gap and also space the speaker forward a bit (since it has a larger magnet)

The crossovers aren't really a problem... they are pretty small and can be stashed away pretty easily.

As Jon (above) stated, Focals are also a very good brand (as are Diamonds). They tend to be a bit more pricy, however, and I've never heard their 6x9s...

thanks, the pictures are really great. i appreciate it. those speakers really have big magnets...

[solaris]

can i just mount the 6x9 speakers at the bottom, i mean put the screws from the bottom going up so that i can remove it easily if ever i want to replace it?

[theprodigy79]

I don't see why that wouldn't be possible... Make sure you clip the screws short enough so they don't dig into the cover, and I would recommend making a gasket of some sort to seal around the frame of the speakers...

The only two problems I can see arrising are:

#1 watch out for magnet spacing... since you're dropping the speaker below it may have issues running into the metal cross bars below.

#2 watch out for speaker excursion... if you mount from below you may have issues with the surround of the speaker rubbing against the metal when playing music...

other than that, you should be fine!

How did you remove the rear deck?
Nice job by the way.
