[QUOTE="mlo, post: 6476492, member: 616606"] Just curious...Does anyone make a retrofit ring to install a 10" sub into a 12" hole? The installer put a single 10" shallow mount sub into the rear door of our 99' OBS Tahoe. I want the look as oem as possible so no large boxes mounted to the door (like Q logic). The installer currently has the back of the sub literally against the steel channell/stiffener on the inside of the door. He needs another 1/2"-3/4" clearance. Thats even if I will accept the .37 cu.ft. in volume of the glassed enclosure as is. Which I am tempted to do to severe ties with this operation. Currently the sub is only covered by the same oem matching carpet he installed over the plywood door face he made which is spaced out another 3/4" from the door (plywood border under face panel (3/4"+3/4"=1.5")). It is actually tacky looking as the carpet is literally stretched over the top mounted sub showing the woofers raised outline from beneath. I was thinking that maybe an easy way to clean this job up and get a little extra depth (adapter ring heigth) plus a functioning protective metal screen/grill, is to use a adapter ring of sorts which would likely involve enlarging the woofer cut-out to 12" which there plenty of room to do. Any thoughts or advice is appreciated. [/QUOTE]
