I am considering moving the speakers to the stock location. The vinyl on my door panels is ripped in some places and I'd like to get some replacement vinyl. Has anyone been succesful patching in material (pressboard, masonite?) where the speaker holes were and recovering the door panels?
Personally I would either find a used set, or buy a piece of masonite from the local store and make a new pair.
If that is not going to happen...
cut a piece of masonite the exact size of the speaker hole and fiberglass it both front and back...sand smooth and lay on new vinyl.
With any repair, cut a new piece of plastic vapor barrier and glue it to the metal door frame before your final install of the new panel.
The vapor barrier will ensure that the new panel does not rot out in two years..
Also, make sure your drains are clean in the bottom of the door...possibly drill a few new ones at the lowest point.
