Tyler Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Derek, sorry I haven't gotten a picture up yet. I haven't even had a chance to put them in! Hopefully the weekend after next I can find some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

240zip Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 First let me say these are incredible and the price is nice. Does this use the shallow mount 5.25" speakers? http://www.amazon.com/Cadence-Acoustics-FXC5Ki-5-25-Inch-Component/dp/B003PJ6TRG/ref=sr_1_22?ie=UTF8&qid=1288880277&sr=8-22 The FXC5Ki has a mounting depth of 2.15-in http://www.amazon.com/Infinity-Reference-5032cf-Performance-Loudspeaker/dp/B002BZE36E/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1288880327&sr=8-5 The Alpine's mounting depth is 2.25" http://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-TS-G1343R-5-25-Inch-2-Way-Speakers/dp/B002KOGQEI/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1288880458&sr=8-9 The Pioneer is mounting depth is only 1-13/16" It seems you could lower the profile of the kick panels. If you went with 2.25" then it would still accommodate a number of options. I'm not sure if your vacuum forming set-up accommodates such changes.

cygnusx1 Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 (edited) Nice work Derek. Â You make the stuff from Unique Autosports, on TV, look like child's play. Edited November 6, 2010 by cygnusx1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdiabetezx66x Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Got the panels. They look awesome, Derek, Thanks! They will take some cutting to fit them into my '74 260Z, it looks like, but I expected that based on what everyone else has been doing. I will post some pictures when i get to the point where I can actually put them in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 Nice work Derek. You make the stuff from Unique Autosports, on TV, look like child's play. Wow thanks. But I'll tell you it's amazing what good equipment can do for you! Got the panels. They look awesome, Derek, Thanks! They will take some cutting to fit them into my '74 260Z, it looks like, but I expected that based on what everyone else has been doing. I will post some pictures when i get to the point where I can actually put them in. Well I didn't know you were putting them in a 260. You were smart to withhold that from me. If the panels are useable with minor mods then great. We'll know what it takes to fit the 260/280 cars. If they just won't work and new panels need to be made and you can supply me with the data I need I'll send you the first set of the panels no charge for your time. Let me know if that works for you.

New-to-240z Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 quick question . . . What are the deepest the speakers can be for these panels? It would help me with pricing on the entire setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 Here is the spec sheet from my speakers Let me know if you need more info. Derek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kj280z Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Those are absolutely awesome! I'll take a set! I'd LOVE to get a set of door panels!!! I love what this member did - I was going to do something similar, but if you could make them using your process they'd be much nicer! I'd consider some one offs as well - PM me!

AKZX Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Can these be modified very easily to fit a 79-83 ZX? Maybe some cutting and FG work? These look perfect for what I'm trying to do in my project so far. Seriously pro work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Posted December 5, 2010 Author Share Posted December 5, 2010 Can these be modified very easily to fit a 79-83 ZX? Maybe some cutting and FG work? These look perfect for what I'm trying to do in my project so far. Seriously pro work. Thanks. Well anything will work with enough effort! I really think someone with more knowledge than myself about the ZX would be qualified to answer. I haven't set foot in one since 1979. I may be willing to form 2 pods onto a sheet and sell you that. you could then cut out the shape as you like. It would be a little tricky as the ribs and channels I put in there give it the strength. With just the pod it will be kind of floppy. Derek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that there are too many differences for these to fit on a S130. Derek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
