Like the title says. I've been looking at making the speaker pods, but this is a big project. To even think about starting I would need to do at least 100 sets. The tooling is quite expensive, and I'm not sure there's enough demand to support it. In all honesty 200 sets may cover the tooling, but unless there is a big enough demand this could be a dead end project.
Your thoughts? |

stock repo grills still cannot fit a readily available speaker.
Your morph acquisition gave you the larger fiberglass ones, and he was selling a few of those to solve the issue. Seems that those who want decent tunes would be looking for a decent bolt on solution versus a compromise of crappy speakers in a tiny stock shaped grill. I did a larger grill, can be unbolted. I did a center console armrest with two more speakers in there, plus the amp. When I do it again it will have larger front speakers, a custom door pocket solution, and a sub at the passenger footwell. Those are the types of solutions a person who likes music in the car might be more interested in seeing. Rich |
