[QUOTE="katodevin, post: 4276368, member: 572271"] [B]Rear Deck Complete/MDF Ringage - [/B] Here is the rear deck put back together with my modified speaker grills. The tweeter's locations look very clean. [IMG]http://i26.tinypic.com/2vvl1tc.jpg[/IMG] I cut some MDF rings also for my rear speaker. I decided to go with 2 thin rings for each speaker, and sandwich circles of deadener between each, making a total of 2 layers from deadener between the speaker and the deck. I would have gone with thicker MDF, but it would have gotten too tall and would have hit the grill. A lot of experts use non-hardening clay between the rings and the metal, but I worry about the California heat a lot and don't want my paranoid mind to wonder if my rear deck is melting or not. I used a handy dremel circle jig that I picked up, and it cut the holes very clean as long as I went slow. Much easier to handle than my big router when it comes to cutting holes. When I got impatient, the cuts got a little bumpy, but still 100% acceptable for simple speaker rings.
