so i need a pair of splits up the front of my car
ive always been adiment that ide get a pair of precision response kevlar splits, as they r fantastic value for money.
my problem however, is that after measuring the space from the glass (rolled down) to the mounting bracket... it looks like i wont b able to use them as they have a massive magnet, and i plan on keeping the stock cover, which means no thicker mounting brackets.
so for all u da9 owners, wat splits have u used that actually fit, and how have u found them in regards to performance, and installation ease.
cheers.

I have those splits in my da9 in the stock holes. A spacer cut out of 16mm mdf gives them just enough clearance.

i have alpine tyre R splits in my doors, with i think 20mm or 22mm spacers they fit inside the stock covers no probs (altho i have since modified them slightly) and they clear the window

mine is placed inside the door panel wrapped in plastic bag for water proofing hehehe. further up close to the door hinge inside the panel. just be carefull with the placement and fitment coz if you don't it will be squashed with your window down.... ( this is if you dont want to show off your expensive pairs of splits with a hi-tech cross over) I've got boston Acoustics pro.
