Comming Soon: The Return of BA Speaker Plates!
UAC's Big Angle Speaker Plates!


http://i864.photobucket.com/albums/ab207/riprodder/DSC01880.jpg (http://www.uniqueautocreations.com/products.html)

We have finally started another run of the Big Angle plates after much demand for their return. The plastic has already been formed and we are working on perfecting the cut out tooling so this run will be spot on! Hopefully they will be ready within the next week or so.

These plastic plates replace your existing factory S13 ones giving you the option of putting a 6.5" round speaker in the doors like they should have had in the first place. Other kits out there only offer a flat plate to mount the speaker on, which is fine if you don't mind having your mids and highs aimed at you feet. Our plates let you have your cake and eat it too by aiming your new speakers up as close to the factory angle as possible giving you better sound quality while fitting behind the stock grills. Plates install using your factory hardware and speakers should be bolted in using the supplied mounting hardware. Accepts 6.5" round speakers that require a 5 1/16" cutout or less, but they should be test fitted with the window rolled all the way down before bolting them in as the glass determines the maximum depth/magnet diameter. Examples of speakers that have been confirmed to fit are: 1 5/8" mounting depth with a 2 7/8" diameter magnet and 1 7/8 mounting depth with a 2 3/4" magnet.

Kit includes: one left plate, one right plate, stainless screws, capture nuts, and one drill bit.
Fits 89-94 240sx, Silvia, 180sx, and all S13 models

They will be priced at: $74.99 + shipping & tax if applicable

Speaker Selection Guide


This guide will give you some helpful tips to assist you in your speaker selection process.

• Find a speaker that calls for a 5 1/16 cutout hole or less.
• Look at the Top Mounting Depth dimension, the shorter the better.
• Don't select a speaker with a huge magnet on it. It may not clear the glass.
• BA Plates mount the speaker in the door at an angle, which is why you want them, but at the same time points the corner of the magnet at the glass. The distance from this corner to the glass is what you have to be careful off.
• Understand that the mounting depth / magnet diameter varies from one speaker to another so not all speakers with a mounting depth of "X" will fit due to the varying magnet diameters from one model to the next. Also not all speakers with a magnet diameter of "Y" will fit due to different mounting depths.
• There are 6 3/4" speakers too. Sometimes they are listed as 6 1/2" speakers. They will not fit with the BA Plates. Check with the manufacturer and or with various sellers to make sure that they are not 6 3/4"
• Crutchfield.com (http://www.crutchfield.com/S-vkH5NpAi6ah/) is a good resource for information on current speakers. Once you make a choice, click the "Details" tab to view the specs.
• Examples of speakers that have been confirmed to fit are: 1 5/8" mounting depth with a 2 7/8" diameter magnet and 1 7/8 mounting depth with a 2 3/4" magnet.
• Good luck with your search!

That's OK, They aren't for everyone. They are priced as they are because each piece is individually crafted using the vacuum forming process and then routed out by hand, so the process to get a nice finished part is rather time consuming.

What speakers do you recommend with these on the 'ol s13 hatch?

Was looking into alpine spr-60 but dont know if theyll be too deep for mounting depth

The alpine Spr-60 won't fit with these plates. They are actually 6 3/4" speakers and require a 5 5/16 cutout hole for the speaker to mount in to. The BA Plates have a 5 1/16 hole in them so you will need to find a speaker that calls for this cutout or less. Crutchfield.com (http://www.crutchfield.com) is a good resource for picking speakers. They are really good about giving you a lot of detailed specs on whatever speakers you are looking at.

Keep an eye on what the top mounting depth dimension is. The shorter here the better. Also you probably don't want to select a speaker with a huge magnet on the back. The magnet diameter plays a large part in whether or not it's going clear the glass. Beware of 6 3/4" speakers like the Alpine you were looking at. Sometimes they are listed as 6 1/2" because in some applications they are interchangeable but not this one. Try to find whichever speaker you are looking at from several different sellers or perhaps the manufacturer, just to make sure it's not the wrong size.

All that being said, speaker selection is probably the trickiest part of this installation. I have personally installed several of these and can tell you that there are many speakers that will fit but whichever you select is really up to you. Good luck with your search.
