rear speaker grill, front speaker grill questions!?

Post by phi-tec »

hey guys,
just wondering who has aftermarket front splits etc, with spacer (if required) did the original grill fit back on?

also.. where can i get the grill that fits over the rear speakers? i've forgotten i dont have the grill.. dont mind not having one, just looks odd if i actually look

cheers
and please relevant information only dont start blabbering about state of origin etc :D

I made some spacers from 3mm (I think) MDF for my 6.5 inch front speakers and the standard grill fits. My rears don't have grills at all, although I think my rear shelf is not the factory one.

You can easily make some spacers yourself if you're handy with MDF!

I made some for my old car out of 3mm (yes, you're correct Supplanter) MDF, and it worked quite well! Just head down to Bunnings and grab yourself a sheet, shouldn't cost you anything more than $30 for what you need!

I used 6mm MDF for my front 6.5" speakers and screwed that onto the original speaker cup then screwed the cup back onto the door. Cost me like $2 in materials tops. Time taken was just over an hour drawing, cutting and screwing.

Speakers were 30mins (thanks to Tim) , straight in and smashed out the honeycomb bit under the grill to allow room for the speakers
