I would like to add the infinity ref 5000cs (only 5.25" main speaker) in the plastic panel behind the seats. Because this is not much work and the shipping costs for a "lucid" panel is to high (switzerland) here is my question:
Could someone give me the exact measurements of the center of the circular cutout I have to make in this panel (measurements in cm pleaaaase )
Measurement from bottom of panel: ???? cm
from side of panel: ???? cm

 

I don't have exact measurements but you can see exactly where you want to cut the holes into the panels.








I hope that helps a little.

 

I did my rear panels myself using a Dremmel. It was simple and I am by no means a professional audio / car person. I suggest using the pics that darkknight1999 posted as a reference. Also, if your speakers are new, the box should have a cardboard cut-out (or make one) so you can draw your circle on the panel. Good Luck!

 

so is there a hole in the rear for the speaker magnet to fit in?....

 

Some speakers just fit others you need to trim the sheet metal behind the plastic. I needed to trim a little to make them fit.

This is the only picture I have loaded up that shows behind the plastic:

 

The way I did it was to make up a cardboard copy of the panel to test fit with. I could muck around with it until I got it right, then use it as a template on the real panel. Do the other side by flipping the template.

 

I have the Reference 5000 componets in the rear. I used the trim mounting ring as a template against the panel, placed as far down so as not to cut off the bottom of panel and as far to the outside and still be able to remove the mounting panel hook.



Some slight metal cutting was required for magnet to clear. I modified Darknight1999's picture since I don't have one where I had to cut. The 2 red angled lines are the cuts made from the center hole then hammered inward.

 

dont the seats muffle the speakers

 

Has anybody installed speakers into that square padded panel at the bottom or in the bottom of the roll hoop panels in the flat open area? I've searched for photos of various install locations but all I can find are photos of the same "lucid mounting location." Is this the only option?
