rear speaker grill, front speaker grill questions!?
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

Re: rear speaker grill, front speaker grill questions!?
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.
LED ALL the things.

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!

Re: rear speaker grill, front speaker grill questions!?
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
