Can you put speakers in the doors of a '71 without cutting the doors? Also do 6x9's fit in the rear speaker locations?

Possibly on both counts. But doortrims & 240Z doors in good condition are RARE.

You bought a S30 - you paid for engine noise not tunes!
I've removed all the stereo equipment & factory wiring from my 240 - I've got 2 turbo's to listen too...

But seriously, there are several places in the US that sell replacement taillight panels that house 6x9's. I believe Motorsport Auto has them in stock, if you don't have a catalog yet, get one.

You could also put some tweeters in the front dash vents & a sub box in the rear, but I wouldn't make any 'permanent' body modifications - there's just not enough good parts around if you change your mind later.

I made a box for 6x9's to fix in front of the rear struts & had some tweeters velcro'd to the dash, & it wasn't a bad setup & coule be removed without trace (which I have since done).

 

I don't know about buying things from america, it seems to cost alot... I'vfe seen 6x9's mounted on the struts of a supra, but i want something that is invisible as people smash windows for even cheap stereos. I don't want a sub either, as i would prefer to spend my money on going faster (and stopping quicker), but it is getting annoying on longer drives having no music

With the exchange rate as it is, yes parts aren't cheap. But if you want them, you'll have to pay - there just aren't many places in Australia that cater for the Z cars (for 1600's there are plenty...). You should spend $20 USD to get some catalogues & take it from there.

 

I dont like the idea of spending forty dollars on a catalogue

Alan,

I had a friend that put speakers in the storage bins behind the seats. Can't remember if your year had storage. If so you should be able to fit 6x9s and or 8" subs in the compartment.

yeah it did, i guess that is an option. Would it sound good with two 6x9's in the compartments and two dome speakers in the rear speaker locations?

Alan,

I sent you an email with some suggestions for you speaker setup. Its kinda long. I forgot to save it so if you want to share it with everyone please ad it to the post.

Ck my speaker loc in the rides section. I used 5.25" mids and 1" tweeters.
