What do the grills look like ? Picture makes the grill look solid ....?

Posted by: cwpeden May 5 2015, 07:40 AM

They are solid. What size speaker fits? 6"?

Posted by: Kansas 914 May 5 2015, 08:04 AM

I think you cut it to fit your speaker and use the grilles supplied with the new speakers.

Grills are supplied with your speakers these are only the mounting pods made from sturdy fiberglass.

Question, Mark. I understand these came from morph's design but could they be made to accept 6x9 speakers? There is so much more selection of speakers in that size, and they deliver ten times the sound as the six inch round.

I would like a set please

These are produced by Morph, part of us working together to make these available, and at a lower cost.

Yes, it's possible. It would be a new mold and would be more expensive. I wouldn't say no, but it's a matter of how many people really want them.

You are also limited by the area available in the opening. Remember you are moving your feet in a and out across this area, and it is valuable real estate. The concept is to be close to factory, but allow for a good mid-range speaker. There are many that can fit in these units that provide a sound 10x better than OEM.

I forgot to add to my previous post that I am in for 1 set - thanks!!

DAMN I bought a set from you a month or so ago.....! headbang.gif

Posted by: Andyrew May 8 2015, 11:42 AM

I'll take a set as well.

Posted by: RAX 914 May 8 2015, 12:04 PM

So will the 6" holes for the speakers be precut or do we cut them out ourselves?

Also, can you post a picture of the back?

If they are the same as the ones I bought from Mark a few weeks back you have to cut them yourselves to fit your speaker size. Use a dremel or something, but it only takes about 15 minutes. Mine ended up very nice with some 6.5 inch speakers, and my 15 year old daughter is much happier now that we have real sound when cruising around.

Posted by: RAX 914 May 8 2015, 02:50 PM

Thanks Beatnavy, does the backs have standoffs to mount the speaker to the enclosure, like the originals, or does the new speakers and grills compression fit to hold it to the new enclosure?

No, it's not like the stock setup and the backs do not have standoffs. The "Grill" in this case is going to be the grill of the speaker you buy. You mount based on the instructions provided by your specific speaker and using whatever mounting hardware they provide. Generally that's going to involve drilling four holes in the pod. I'm out of town or otherwise I'd post a picture. I think I bought Pioneer 6.5 inch round speakers which are pretty darn reasonable in price yet still a big improvement in sound quality over stock. And they look pretty good too.

Thanks again BeatNavy!

Mark, theses are still not on the group buy page like I mentioned in my PM. If you have a separate link for them let me know.

Posted by: maf914 May 26 2015, 07:20 AM

Mark,
Are these speaker enclosures the same as those sold several years ago by Morph and 914 Appearance and Performance? I gather you and he work together on some of your products. I have a pair of those, boxed and unused, in the parts stash.

Posted by: jack20 May 27 2015, 11:04 AM

I'd like a set of these Mark.
Jack

Thank you!

Mark, I am bumping this question in case you didn't see it before. Thanks.

Posted by: pvollma May 29 2015, 07:08 AM

Note that these do not fit if you have the dealer-installed under dash A/C unit. I ordered a set of these last year, only to discover this. 914rubber accepted the return for a full refund (thanks Mikey914!).

Posted by: 72 IXXIV May 29 2015, 08:12 AM

I tried to buy a set from your site but my order was refunded because they "don't fit a 6.5" speaker"

What gives?

Posted by: Mikey914 Jun 1 2015, 02:02 PM

Let me know if one of my guys told you this as I have 6.5" in mine.
They do fit 6.5.
