Components for Alto- Installation help required. - Team-BHP

ScarySkulls · 5th February 2008, 22:21

I need some pointers on installing component speakers in front for an Alto.
I opened up the door panel and there is very little space to shoehorn in a midbass in the front doors..

I tried searching and have found two interesting posts.

and
http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/sound-...e-install.html (Alto ICE install)

Need more pointers on how to proceed.
Fibreglassing compulsory or MDF will work just as well?

Have seen it done with just MDF work on Speedzak's Alto.

Is this going to be a DIY?

DK sir,

@JKdas-> Yes Sir. Seen that link. But that kind of install not possible as No power windows budget right now. Yes DIY preferred. :-)

And Thank You for posting the link Abhi.

Face it! It is quiet impossible to have decent speaker in the doors with the winder. But given the budget and effort, one can always achieve anything! Right?

I would suggest you to go for power windows atleast for front doors. It will make the installation neat and good.

I dont have the pics right now but someone I knew installed 6.5 inch componets in the alto front door with a little of Fiber Glassing. Will post the pics ASAP.

ScarySkulls · 7th February 2008, 20:44

ASAP?

Who's car by the way? Harpreet?

So crux of matter is either power windows or Fibreglassing.
No budget for power windows right now And I have no prior experience with fibreglassing. :-(

THis is now on my wish list. Waiting for the pics and the cost and praying the costs don't deflate my balloon.

abhibh · 21st February 2008, 22:31

DK Sir so any update on info about fiberglass or other ways u have encountered to install ?

ScarySkulls · 21st February 2008, 22:49

Raghwinder's few minutes havent come as yet.
So till then, thinking of Power Windows and some spacer rings. Clean and Simple.

vicjain · 22nd February 2008, 08:25
