G'day Steve,

Do you mean for 6", if so, no there wasn't I didn't want to use spacers there so I used the 4" Vibe air splits, they were just a complete swap over.

The spacers I got for the rear 6" were a perfect diameter for the speakers, there was just enough room to fit it all on those panels.

just wrap some tape around it and get MAN hands Rolling with laughter Thats all I do, those holders work sort of but tend to snap/bend the blade by the handle, hence me not bothering with them Thumbs Up

Well your idea would work but I don't actually have a blade anyway. Whistle I don't think a jigsaw blade would work very well. Whistle Shocked Rolling with laughter TheThunder RollsπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

When I purchased my gear, I was on my way to Sydney for a few days and thought about the 5" while I was away. On my way back home I dropped back into the audio shop and tried the 'low profile' in the Vibe range but when I offered them up to the dash I was pretty certain they were going to foul on the heater duct on the passenger side so I went the safe way, especially since the shop is 4 hours from home.

Oh well, live and learn I guess. I'm happy with the sound and if I don't listen to it with a 5" I won't know Whistle . It was a matter of making a decision there and then and I wasn't too keen on cutting the dash to fit, the rear panels are cheap to replace if I stuffed them up Very Happy

I did have an issue with a tweeter stopping working, sent it back got a new one. Then it stopped working, so I pulled it and found a dry solder joint, re-soldered all Thumbs Up It was probably the issue with the first one as well Rolling Eyes

Mick

And that's Steve's concern also. We have been discussing it for about 6 months. I have not fitted any, but had a good look in a mates puma, and did not see any major dramas. Yes you would have to enlarge the hole slightly but other than that Mr. Green Over here going 5" gives you a far wider choice of components. I'm sure as soon as 1 person dose it others will follow.
