Hi guys
A few people mentionend before they had considered this but though it was too tricky.
What you need is:
Jigsaw
Powerdrill
18mm MDF
Some fibreglass bridging compound or filler
Duct Tape/masking tape..
First of all make some baffles from 18mm MDF to attach your speakers to.
Remove the kickwell trim and attach the baffle to the lowest corner of the trim. You'll notice the baffle will be larger than the flat part of the trim, don't panic we'll get to that bit later.
Then depending on the speakers you've decided to use you'll have to cut a hole ouf of the back of the trim to let the magnet poke through and to let the speakers vent into the dash. Otherwise the speakers will be choked because of lack of airspace..
Next get your duct tape and use it to make an internal mould the hole where the baffle doesn't mount flat to the trim.
Then fill this with the filler of fibreglass compound and smooth and trim as appropriate.
I'll try and get some pics of mine when they are finished, but to get some operational 6.5's in kicks shouldn't take much more than an hour and a half or so..
If this reads badly LMk and I'll try and make it clearer...
Cheers
Dave
PS, if you are using 2 way speakers you may want to aim them a bit as well. This shouldn't be too tricky, you'll just need to use more tape and filler to secure the angle..
