Saw these on Ebay. I don't remember any information on these. Maybe the guys at 914 Rubber will chime in.

Aren't those the one that they came out with in 2017? To replace the stock ones so you can use a larger standard speaker. 
Posted by: Mikey914 Jan 17 2019, 11:42 AM
We will do a GB for those that might have missed it. Just need 10 takers.
These are nice in that you can use speakers with bigger magnets. 6-1/2 by at least
2-1/8 deep. I’ll have to double check as it’s been awhile but I think 2-3/8” work on these. The screw in with factory mounts and can easily go back to stock if you want to put the old ones back in. Much better than cutting holes in your door panels.
$49.99 ($20 off) but need 10 takers.
Who’s in?

Are they FG or plastic?

Here's what I did. I took the radio out.

The speakers are gone too. What you see is a "kick" pad glued to the enclosure. These enclosures are made of FG with no center hole. I think I had to paint them. The stock enclosures are ugly as hell & they were in terrible condition. The car only has 48K miles on it, but somebody was rather clumsy with their feet. My feet are so big that I had to remove the center console.

Originally they were fiberglass they are now sturdy ABS plastic.

Mark sometimes gets called in to fly. He can’t predict it so it messes with what he plans...
Posted by: 914Sixer Jan 23 2019, 10:29 AM
Hey,
I understand and am not complaining. Just checking.
Posted by: Mikey914 Jan 23 2019, 02:53 PM
I'm working on these right now
Posted by: Mikey914 Jan 23 2019, 03:24 PM
Ok PMs sent we were actually putting together a deal to include the out of site audio product for those that want one. We can't discount that product, but we can make our speaker pods $20 lower than the GB.
So if you are interested in one of these
http://www.outofsightaudio.com/home.html
We will be able to sell you a pod set at $25 a set with one of these.
Posted by: rgolia Jan 23 2019, 03:54 PM
Thanks Mark - now that I have the speaker pods coming, does anyone have recommendations on the best speaker to put in them. Lots of 6.5 inch to pick from, just looking for advice/experience.
Posted by: 914Sixer Jan 23 2019, 04:00 PM
Try Crutchfield for quality. Mine on the way too.
Posted by: 914forme Jan 23 2019, 07:08 PM
Good speaker if you can drive them is Infinity, the reference comes in a 6.5" with a shallow depth mount. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FUZV7ZG/ref=psdc_10980771_t1_B07B8RP9HN
Or if you have the depth the Kappa series would be a great choice. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075ZHJ683/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. These Kappa's you can tip the tweeters to get them closer to a direct line of your ears.
Both have a sensitivity of 93 dB or great, but they drop into the 2 to 3 Ohm range, some head units will not like that. But changing Ohm range is a pretty easy step.
If you where going for the ideal setup, the drivers side would be angled closer to your left, almost firing right up your leg, and the right would be tilted upwards towards your right year.
Being ABS that could still be done, but why

To change the part we would have to change the mold, sounds like your talking a significant change. Our point here is to save the door panels and give something that is somewhat stock looking. How many degrees would it have to be changed?
It would be possible to shim the back out a few, but at a certain point you interfere with the drivers leg.

What did you get?....I have the pods now need the sound
Posted by: 914Sixer Jan 30 2019, 02:33 PM
I am using some Old School 6.5 Blaupunkt 652 coaxial speaker because I am using a stock Blaupunkt AM FM LW 9watt radio. Might hook up 60 watt matching amp. $10 foam baffel to trap the bass NOT the metal behind speaker.
Posted by: Chris914n6 Jan 30 2019, 10:29 PM
$10 foam baffel to trap the bass NOT the metal behind speaker.
The foam baffles actually hurt. Tiny airspace and a flexible diaphragm basically muffles cone response. There have been several shared experiences since they are marketed for door speaker use.
I'd try polyfill first and enclose as much of it as feasible.
Posted by: 914Sixer Jan 31 2019, 07:42 AM
Thank you for the information. Sound systems are not in my wheel house. I continue to learn something everyday.
