who makes the adapters for the door speakers on a c6? wanna take out 10" and put in components.

 

You wont find a better plate anywhere. Many of us have used them.

I was trying to remember where I got mine and that's it. They are made very well.

 

look good, are they painted black so that they don't look out of place?

 

No. They are a redish color but you can't really see that at all when they are behind the door panels.

 

Besides, a rattle can and 2 min 'work' and presto! black.

 

i have another 100 sets coming in
24.99 shipped
should be here anyday

your kidding right? 50 bucks for a pair of plates that you can easily cut out with a jig saw? a trip to home depot for a 2x4 sheet of 1/4 MDF or thicker if you choose for about 10 bucks!
by the time you ordered thoes online i could have traced the oe speaker that came out, then traced the speaker i planned to install and cut it out with a jig saw in the time it would take you top place the order!
as a matter of fact all my components for my install are comming tomorrow i plan to take pics through the install process and post when done.
i guess if your lazy and have 50 bucks to throw away...

BTW don'f forget to install some kind of rain shield in the door above the speaker, wet speakers dont last long.

 

Comparing MDF to these phenolic plates, once again you put your foot in the horses mouth.

By the way, hows your repowered stock Bose speaker project coming? Thought we would have seen pics by now.

 

:::: Hug ::::

 

Decided to run jl audio 8" component midbass drivers instead and 3.5" 2 ways in the stock locations.
You seem like the kind of guy who could entertain himself in a round room for an entire week totally naked!
Tool!

 

I got mine from Rick at Raamat

 

how did you like this setup... i have done 8s in two different c6s and thought it worked pretty good but should have done more deadening

 

So, you finally realized your bose master plan was a moronic idea. All the talk you were doing was just as I thought, just talk. Pompus know it all doesnt know much afterall. No surprise there. They usually dont.

 

i get all my equipment today. i have a supplier on the west coast that sold me about 2,300 worth of JL stuff for about 1200 bucks!
the package arrives today.
i was actually going to run the factory bose speakers since they are actually quite an engineering marvel. i actually spoke to Manville smith (vp of marketing at JL) who actually has a pretty famailar knowledge of the corvette and the Bose system.
he also agreed that the best speaker to use if you want to keep a good deal of bass up front would be the factory bose 10.
unfortunatly even if i did that i would have to wire the pair in series to get a 2 ohm load. the problem is since they are in different doors wireing them in series would be a bad idea because unless they are identical it's possible that one would interact with the other. if i could wire them in parallel this would not be a problem.
i can't find an amp that will either run 2 separate channels at 1.5 ohms each in a package small enough to put where i want. nor can i get an amp that would run .75 ohms mono.
Manville agrees that the light weight cones and neo magnets in the front offer a compact package and a wide frequency responce, and they are free!
so in the interest of simplicity we both agreed that the ZR800 would offer the closest thing i can get to the 10" since it's a free air speaker it should work well.
i will be closing up some holes in the door to make the door a more effective enclosure. there is a large plastic rainshield cover at the back of the door ill be reinforcing with a 1/4 sheet of MDF and covering with dynamat.
the challenge we discussed was where to set the xover to make the transition from 8 to 3.5 Manville said he thinks about 300 hz, he stated that the 8 will play up to 500 but that may muddy up my staging since thoes speakers will be mono.
so ill have to play with it, the 4" goes down to 150 hz and my hope is that i can get near there. i have a pink noise generator and an RTA i can use to dial in the xover. i will be using the 24 db/ oct xover so hopefully i can get them as high as possible without picking up any vocal tones.
the 8's will play whatever that frequency is down to about 50. ill be overlapping on the rear subs and using the time alignment in the head unit to align the rear 8" subs so that the arrival time is focused in the drivers seat. this should compliment the frequencies at about 80 and below pretty accuratly.
of course the 3.5" pick up from whatever frequency i pick and have tweeters built in, so effectivly i should have a full 3 way setup.
ill be running a Y adapter on the front output at the amp. its a 5 channel XD700/5 the front signal will feed the front channels 1/2 to the 3.5" and the sub channel feeds the 2 8" in the doors. this way fading and EQ settings effect only the front speakers. my HU has a separate 14 band EQ for front, rear and center channel then the rear will be on channels 3/4 while the sub signal will be of course plugged into the XD 300/1 for the rear subs.

 

if you even had half a braincell on the subject matter to know anything about what your talking about. you might make some sence.
if you had any idea of who your calling a moron and my background in the 12 volt industry you would realize just how compleatly stupid you actually are.
the problem is that you like many people are brainwashed by the 12 volt industry into thinking you know somthing when physics and logic say otherwise. how many manufacturers do you do you personally know in the 12 volt industry? do you have a degree in electronics engineering? what is your install background?
i know so much more than you about this subject matter its laughable! your the one making yourself look stupid because when i told you that you were wrong i gave examples. you just say i don't know what i am talking about but offer no logic to support yourself.

this will be my last reply to anything you post! write all you like and ill just ignore you so that as others read your meaningless banter you will show yourself as the troll that you really are.
nobody cares what you think because you don't offer anything of value. just meaningless talk!
it's obvious from the things that you have already said that your background on the subject is that your just another silly backyard installer / consumer who has self confidence issues and can't deal with the fact you don't really know what your talking about. you make yourself feel more like a man when your behind a computer screen talking smack to someone who is 2500 miles from you. who if confronted face to face and said these things to me directly would earn yourself a knuckle sandwich.
so if you don't have anything usefull to say keep your trap shut!
this forum is for people to get ideas, have a discussion and maybe learn somthing.
you apprarently have gone as far in life as you can ever go learning because your so sure that your right about everything you fail to listen and learn from someone who knows a lot more than you.

so go ahead and flame away. I won't read it, i can resist the temptation to read your reply. i have unsubscribed from this thread so i won't read it anyway. if you feel the need to attack me again youll be the one looking like a childish jackass that you really are.

to anyone else reading this foolishness, do you think he can resist the temptation? hmmm i guess you will have to find out on your own..
my bet is that he will not be able to resist the urge!

 

Pretty ironic someone saying how smart they are spelling brain cell as one word! As well as all the other juvenile spelling mistakes. Comming?
No I dont have a degree in E.E. and Im sure you dont either, insurance man. What I do have is the common sense and some knowledge on the subject to know that repowering the stock C6 bose fronts was a stupid idea. If it were a great idea you would have done it. Especially since they're 'free' and you could have saved a buck or two. You had it all figured out. You are the one with a seriously snobby attitute to bash someone offering friendly advice and in this thread pretty much calling anyone who who uses the Komoman plates lazy and stupid. Thats insulting to hunderds on this site who have them in their cars. Comparing the much better product to MDF only demonstrates your lack of knowledge on the topic and your pompousnous.

Knuckle sammy? A phyisical threat from all these many miles away? Now thats comical!

Oh, I bet you'll read it. You might not reply but you'll be reading it.

 

I do hate to get off the topic of the pissing contest but thread was for finding who had/made adapter plates. I spoke with C5 bear guy and if he gets some in today I'll buy from him. If he doesn't then I'll make them myself on Monday. Buying them was more of a convenience for me as I have to drag all of my wood working stuff out etc... to make 4 adapter plates or spend 20 bucks and have them done. I've also come to a realization that if I can go to work on Over time and make more than they're charging me to do the work then so be it. I'll let them do the work and I'll go to work and get paid more

 

Convenience was pretty much the only reason I bought them too. I could have made my own but I didn't feel the price was so outrageous that it wasn't worth it for someone who already has the exact sizes and material to do it for me. Not to mention I don't have a decent jig saw so I would have had to add a new one of those to the total if I did it myself.

 

I had Fry's electronic around the corner from my house tell me they could do it for 20 a side, but figured I'd give a forum vendor my business first or do it myself.
