Another Dirtstiff Speaker Thread

[Dirtstiff's F6B]

Awesome find. How did you get the magnet to fit on the back side? Did you have to shave that plastic area where the crossbar is on both sides ? I tried to find a 6in speaker on Saturday to replace mine but noticed the magnet butts right up against the plastic liner and won't take a set of Alpine SDS610s. The magnet is about the same size as what those JBLs look to have.

Looks great...can't wait to hear them.

Patch -


Ancient Chinese secret. .. mount the speaker upside, down, so the voice coil is up and doesn't hit the cross bar you described.

No shaving, trimming, cutting, anything but a beverage, required.

Thanks for the info. I was out riding today and wished the whole time I had some better audio. I upgraded to J&M last year and still was not impressed. I'm ordering these now.

Thanks on the tip, tried this already. I was using a set of Rockford Fosgate R165X3 Prime Series. I can fit them with the lower two screws inserted but because the coil and magnets are large, I think there is definitely a clearance problem. Both sides on the top sit too far out to get the other set of screws in, and the plastic cover doesn't seem to want to settle properly like that. All good, it looks like the JBLs fit without too much finagling.

FYI...Just tried the Alpines again for sanity sake...same thing as the RF's...the coil/magnet is just too big.
