thanks for saying that Avulon, if there is anything inspiring or of use in this all to anyone else, then that is a nice thought for me.

so how much will you laugh if i now replace the last of the hk speakers in my car with coaxial rainbows for the rear Jeff?

on the plus side, my wife's V6 now gets a full set of HK speakers minus the sub. Unless anyone has an hk sub enclosure going cheap to tempt her

very sporting of you sir!

I've noticed they are the only bit that distorts at high volume - i never noticed it before i put the rainbow bass drivers in the sub. The fronts did it too. Can't be good for the poor things, I'm being kind really....

Found this place selling the mounts as well, http://sklep.basser.pl/en/mdf-speake...ers-rover.html will give them a try when I get round to upgrading my speakers.

Hi guys, just for info. Blasser only make front mdf mounts even though the piccy shows a front and rear. Why they do not do rears I cannot say..bit silly if you ask me..(please don't).

Can I ask please, what is the point of these speaker rings? After reading the whole thread I don't get it. I understand that if fitting different size speakers one needs step or step down rings, but I thought direct replacement speakers just screwed in? I will be replacing my speakers shortly (probably with the Infinity Reference ones that Coolcat sells), so it would be handy to know if I need rings such as these.

Thanks,
Ali.

They absorb vibration from the speaker and help to stop it resonating through the door panel .
This (should) help improve the sound quality over the plastic door pods that are fitted as standard

Those speaker brackets from Nasser are not contoured, but he says they fit no probs. I have just had mine delivered, speakers here tomorrow hopefully, so I will let you know.

These brackets mimic the original shape, they are actually made in 3 sections - I am sure a jigsaw and fine cut blades could do the job - or if you have a router it would be a doddle...I'll knock some templates up and see what's what with a jigsaw, then a trip to my bruv and his router...

If you want photo's of original MDF ones ( not my shoddy efforts to be) drop me a pm. All I need to do is find me cambra..
