pretty straight forward question. i have some 6x9s that area laying around and my front speakers are going to crap. if its been done how hard was it to do? i have seen the indent where the speaker would run and know how i would get around that i just want to know if the actual speaker would hit anything in the door. thanks

I'm actually planning on doing this within the next month or so, but what I'm doing is cutting out some MDF "spacers" and mounting the speakers to that, the speakers will be outside of the door panel, that way there would be no way for any of the speaker to mess with anything on the inside of the door. The magnet is about the same size of the speaker that is oem, so there shouldn't be any fabrication needed.

I've done this a few times in different vehicles and it's always worked for me, just make sure you have grilles for the speakers, it'll look better, and protect them from being kicked.

yes, i did it. i just cut it out rough and used zipties to hold the speakers in. i will get a pic tomorrow if i can remember. mine doesnt hit anything

hahaha the funny thing is about 5 min after i posted this i started looking at my panel and thought im making some damn door pods... haha well what sucks about having ideas at 1am is not being able to use power tools.. i also didnt have any mdf but i had some 1/4" plywood... and thats what im using to make them... well that and fiberglass.. pretty excited for these actually... i will have pics tomoro of them in rough finished shape.. than eventually of them painted..

cool man, can't wait to see it.

I can fabricate damn near everything, but I've never used fiberglass, I might have to get around to trying it out one of these days.

and MDF is cheaper than plywood now, which is odd, I was at home depot last week and bought a whole sheet of MDF for 25 bucks, the plywood next to it was 45... But what you got laying around is what you got laying around..
