Did a search, the speakers listed were NLA, I know there's clearance issues with the big magnets of today's speakers.
Just wondering if anyone has done this lately and have a model number for a speaker that fits. I realize you have to trim to fit. The guy doesn't want pods, I asked, he wants something cheap that fits the stock housing. He just listens to news radio and baseball games. |

Asked this in the subwoofer thread, but really should have asked it here.
I am planning to use an amp to power a JL 3-speaker component system in the stock speaker pods and doors. While I was going to give up and mount 6.5s on the door cards (again), I'd prefer "invisible audio" and 914Rubber's ABS plastic door card blanks have me wondering if 6.5s could be mounted behind the door cards with "perforated" basketweave vinyl...much like the early 928 speakers (see below). I'd probably use the perforated basketweave to then mark Mark's ABS panels, remove the basket weave, and drill larger holes so the sound could pass through. Not as ideal as a speaker grille, I am guessing, but… …on black basketweave, you might not even notice the holes. But could it possibly sound okay? Thoughts? Good idea? Terrible idea? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) I think I can use thicker ABS to mount the 6.5s on the doors rather than the door cards, which also appeals to me in terms of maintenance should I need to get into the doors to fix anything. JL specifies butyl tape to hold the grilles on, and we all know the fun of butyl tape… Attached image(s) |
