Finished boot install

[Soundofav6]

finially had chance to post pics, enjoy.







To something totally unrelated......Any one got pics of custom 6x9'' mounting on parcel shelf, considering my next project when I have the funds, I am not getting enough BASS on my 6" at the door, I think my the clips on my door are cracked therefore the woofers are not mounted as solid as they should be. Dynamat helped a bit but still far from what I want.

The bass from my front stage is crap too

Very nice boot install tho, well done!

very clean boot install..

it mite be the way u tuned your system... my system sounds like the bass comes from the center of the front dash always. so it makes it sound like my speakers r pumping big bass but i dont even have any bass through my speakers.

So when can I drop my VR round?

Very nice work. Glad I say that today too because I need to grab an Anti Fire Bottle and I noticed AutoBarn has 20% off today So I'll have to go out later.

You have just described exactly how I feel, it is pummping out bass but I am not feeling it. Another words the bass is on/in the door. And matty you are having crapy bass too ?? I wonder if it is the structure of our doors thats making the crappy bass ????????????????????

Actually I remember the previous owner use 6" instead of 6.5" speaker and had an adaptor, it was pumping out bass perfectly.


Fire bottle ... lol ... I am taking no chances after my fire !! This bottle only cost me 20 bucks.

What do you have running in your fronts?

In the Bora the doors are sealed so I mounted a Boston SL 60 woofer in each of the doors with 2 sheets of dynamat xtreme and a dynasorb pad per side. Mid bass is great even with the stock door trim over the top.

Ive got Alpine Type-X's in my doors + dynamat. I think its a 6.5" woofer. Zero bass n very weak mid bass. Already had 2 audio shops have a crack at it

I am running boston S60 on front and back, one layer of dynamat to seal the speaker hole and one layer in the service holes. I found the biggest difference is having dynamat where the speaker is mounted. But still not getting the BASS I want.

I think I should try DIY a an MDF spacer, so that it is resting on something SOLID. wonder if that would help ??

I just tried bridging my fronts, EXTRA bASS instantly but louder engine Noise... MASSIVE HEAD ACHE !!!!

u need bettter grounding also check your frqency..

[ScienceVR6]

i'm running VDO Dayton 6.5" drivers, and my front bass/mid bass is great. i'm not running dynamat, but my doors are stuffed full of dackron.

Very nice install there mate, love the neatness of it all and the falso floor, something Im gonna do soon when I get a chance


Im running 6.5" Pioneer Bullet Splits in the front, stock door trims, no dynamat or anything and get quite nice mid range and low end bass from them if need be, but have the bass turned down for the fronts as it was too much. What my sub is for!

Do you have the fronts amped or just running off the headunit?
Can make a heck of a difference

No offence dude but I wouldn't expect much mid bass out of a set of Alpines. You should also have axis control via your xovers ( Apline go on about how good they are so I am sure they have it ). That made a big difference with the Bostons as they are mounted very low in the doors. I set mine to be off axis. Do you live in Sydney?

those S60's will need a lot of power to run loud due to their efficiency and woofer design. I had some older FS-60's and running them off the same Audison amp as the newer SL-60's, and the later are a lot louder and better sounding ( new tweeter helps ). The mid bass also has a lot of kick to it due to the woofer being very similar to the old Pro6.5. Its a bit late now but remember that you sit in the front, that is where you should spend the $$$.

Also when you bridge across channels you must remember that you THD will also double compared to if they where in stereo. Also I would mount them on an MDF spacer and silcone around the outside ( you want it airtight, all mids should be mounted this way ). To do your door properly you should MDF up the service holes as well by adding SD over the top is better than nothing. I might get a pic of my doors if I can find them.

nice clean boot work.

As for Soundofav6, you could check that polarity is set correctly,

or you can even try swapping the polarity of the tweeters to be opposite to that of the woofer.

This may all sound strange, but a ran 5 different components in my vr6.

the only ones that sounded full and bass and very nice kick, was a set of focals 165a1's but you cannot run a grill with them.

I also had the pioneer TSC1620 and TSC1625 in mine, they sounded nice but sounded a whole heap better by swapping the polarity over of the tweeters.

one other thing i did was use some silicon or gasket sealer, and sealed the door pocket to the door. Then also inserted some dacron filler only a little bit behind the speakers. Those 2 things made a world of difference.

Hope this all helps for you.
