I ordered the Scosche Sat-6 and they worked to install the 6.5 speakers I had (alpine type r components) into the rear.

 

Thanks, I ordered a set of Alpine R 6.5's for the rear of a car that I'm working on and the Scorsche Sat-6 brackets hoping thery would work... Appreciate your letting me know they're good.

 

Nice! The Type R components I have sound just amazing. I had to turn the head unit to fade more to the front than the rear because they were just way too loud. I'm running them off of an Alpine MRP-F240. The amp produces 60W x 4 Channels or 100W x 2 Channels. It is running in bridge mode sending 100W to each pair of components. In the trunk I have 2 Kicker Comps with an Alpine MRP-500. I'm going about ordering a Sundown SA-12 or an Alpine Type R 12 (can't decide which yet) and I'm gonna just run a single sub. Fronts are stock. Head unit is a Pioneer MVH-P4400BH. If you're looking for a good spot to hide the crossovers, once you get the rear panel off, on the inside of the panel is like a storage bin of some sorts. I threw my crossovers in there. Works perfectly fine and they do not rattle. I mounted my tweeters in the back of the a-pillar about 3 inches down from the triangle. I have pictures of the install I will upload...

 

My plan is to ultimately get a 3-way system for the front. I think I will run it off the stock amp as it seems to be rock solid so far.

 

Quick question guys... How do I take off the front and rear side panels to get to the speakers?
Also can I just replace the front 6x9s and keep the stock tweeter and 3x5s? Thanks!

 

Rear side-panel removal is pretty easy. right near the cupholder is a little thing with some "drinks" or something pictured, get a flathead screwdriver and pop that piece open. Then there should be a big screw in there (you will need a wrench or socket to get it out, I believe its 10mm).

AFter you get that out, just pull the panel out from the ends and it should come right off


not too sure about the fronts though.

 

I'll confirm the Scosche Sat-6 work with the Alpine R 6.5 coax speakers for the rear. Use the ring that comes with the Alpines, screw it to the adapter, the screw the speakers to the alpine ring and all set. Pretty decent although when I put the rear panels on the car the speakers seemed really close to the interior panel but I don't think it's touching it. I used mdf for my car which I dynomatted and I think I like it better than the Scosche but I will say the Scosche was much EASIER to do, fast and work well.

 

Anyone know if the JBL GTO628 6.5-Inch 2-Way speakers will fit the Scosche Sat-6_at the rear? I'm getting ready to order it.
Thanks guys...

 

Can you let me know how to pull off the front door panels so I can replacement the 6x9s? and tools needed. Thanks so much for any instructions, pics or DIY!!

 

SAT6 and SAT69 adapters work well, however be sure to dynamat these things well because if you decide to really crank your system they may rattle.

 

take off silver handle ( just pull )
take off plate behind door handle and lock ( small pry tool will pop it off come from the rear side of it)
take off piece that is at top near dash pops off

once screws removed go around edge of door and pull ( only clips hold it in )
