Yeah - I've heard "they're all the same size" about more than just those damn speaker holes... Never mind, I managed to get 9 x 6" speakers in my front doors, so if I can do that, you can sure as hell put a couple of holes with a drill and get 6.5" mountings in...

na im going to make spacers. im only throwing in cheap a** boss audio speakers as the stock ones are s**t themselves. the rears are easy, ill just remove the metal mount and throw a spacer in there instead.
any plans for audio in the wagon ben? id love to see what people have done with subs in wagons while still having the boot available. i did think about 6x 15's for the back untill the misses slapped me across the head |

Sub fits easy into the spare wheel bay... You can even put a laptop in there AND still have room for a small powered chilly bin down the left side! (Thanks to RICKS FAMOUS EF WAGON for pointing that space out to me in April or something... For it is a huge usable space that you can put ANYTHING into)
I actually left my spare wheel floating around in the boot for a while and used its MASSIVE space for more sensitive items... Simple really. |

That's three words, or an acronym, but yes, see your point. Oops.
In that case, dear sir, may I suggest NOT fitting your roof lining until you have put an amp and a 15" plasma screen hanging from it.....? |

Too Late!! But thank you for the suggestion. In reality I do not listen to much music, so a 'Fully Sik' or 'Doof Doof' system is not required. BenJ

LOVVIEBEAR --- Just remove the cargo areas interior lining up to the window and put bunjee cords around the metal bits that appear purpose built for it. That lining only ever looks s**t, takes up cubic foot of otherwise useful space and does nothing else worthwhile.... |

I have an upgraded audio system with the factory Fairmont tweeters and Sony 6.5" in the doors with Kenwood 6" in the tailgate. Head unit is a Sony 208W but I just leave it off and wind the window down and listen to the sweet V8 sound.
BTW, making good progress there Ben. Will you get the interior done before your tribe come back from the states? |

Has anyone else put three way 6x9's into their front doors and real solid 6x9's in the tailgate yet? Other than me.... I know Rick did it - and we have the same problem - the tailgate wants to fall on yer bleedin noggin whenever it's open. Has anyone seen that BUCKAROO game for the kids where the horse kicks all your carefully placed luggage around the room when you nudge it? Well - is a little like that really. You nudge the car and - crash. One time a cat put a paw near the hinge and... Crash. One time a butterfly landed on it, and... Crash... You guessed it - I am constantly having to make up new spacers for in between the original boot body metal and the plastic liner as the screws keep being ripped out by the momentum of the speakers continuing when the door has stopped......
Not sure if uncle Ford really meant for the back door to take a KG or three of speaker on each side...... Not really sure if I'd advise others to follow suit without doing something about those gas struts first.... |

Hey Banarcus
I have hot soldering iron in hand as we type. I am in the middle of building the adpter loom for the NF Lane Cluster to work with the EB1 wiring harness. The rest of the interior is already stripped out of the Red EB, except for the dash and door trims. The plan is to have it all in and functional by the end of this coming week. BenJ

if you look enough you will find a place (even on ebay) that so XR6 wagon tail gate gas struts. the difference i hear you ask? the XR wagons had spoilers and therefore they made them stronger to help with the weight. there is a guy on ebay, i was reading his ad last night and he said to let him know what model car you have and if it has a wing... as he sends you the correct ones. so if fitting quality speakers id be looking at a set of these.
how do the 6x9's go on the tail gate? many rattles? |

A few rattles --- I removed the whole key mechanism and filled the tailgate void with padding. There is a rattle from the actuator / latch area someplace. I am always getting rattles out the plastic on left side which was solved by packing materal into it around where it screws in to the metal of door. My previous wagon had same issue on left. The rattles are only audible outside the car really. If you have the tailgate open (like, let's say at a BBQ in the bush) and the stereo going loud the sound of the speakers is actually louder than any rattling.......
And now, once again, we return you to the topic of this thread.... |
