GAH!!!!! i'm sooo maaaaaad! I spent 3 days and 2 nights looking for speaker adapters, so far i've only seen one company but they want 60 something for it shipped... i cross referenced with scosche crap and they seem to be much more fair in pricing.....

Anyone upgraded their factory speakers? If so, what speaker adapters did you purchase?

By the way... I called an audio shop and they sent me on my way laughing..... the owner of the shop told me to go home, cut the speakers out and mount the new speakers on top of that

well most shops just make em out of mdf wood paint them black or sometimes leave them as is and just install the speaker to that

Wait... you actually paid for something like that when it takes a good 10-20 mins to make?

XxGoKoUxX

I'll try passnu, i was all by myself (all of my friends are either out of town, or moved somewhere else) so i was very tired after the 1st hr, i'll take a few snapshots of what i attempted to finish.... but please keep in mind i didn't want to drill holes into my front doors or a pillars, because i want the ability to reverse what i did later on in case i want to sell the car back or trade it in....

well, usually it would take a good 10-20 minutes to make, but i don't have a wood cutter, sheet metal, or a sheet bender... here's why i ordered the kit (the reason is because it has a bulge going outwards, if you don't have that bulge, you will hit the window of your car, or if u roll down the window, it will hit the speaker and something will be bound to break sooner or later)



The kit is the Scosche SAT6, fit all the holes in the car... BUUUUUUT i had a hard time mating it to the speaker, maaan was i pissed... spent about 3 hrs on the first door just because i sat there in dissapointment, trying to find a way to mount it onto the speaker lolol.... so all in all you need a bit of a smaller size...5.25in-5.75in speaker i'm guessing?
