[QUOTE="Donnie W, post: 7088917, member: 627622"] I picked up a set of Hertz component speakers (Energy series). The set includes a 6.5" driver and 1" tweeter, along with the corresponding cross-over. This is the first goal in the build, ditch the front cans. I didn't take a photo of the stock speakers, however, here is the void left from the speaker. Contrasting the stock hole is the outline of the 6.5" woofer. I also replaced the stock wiring, which is no easy task given the wire harness from door to body: [IMG]http://i51.tinypic.com/2is9xuc.jpg[/IMG] The inside of the door panel looks like such: [IMG]http://i54.tinypic.com/2yxmdts.jpg[/IMG] First order of business was to create a mounting ring. Cut, pre-drilled, and beaded with acoustic caulk: [IMG]http://i53.tinypic.com/26rsx.jpg[/IMG] I nice clean strip of high-density door seal and it's ready to mount: [IMG]http://i53.tinypic.com/2ymxe6o.jpg[/IMG] A little bit of black spray paint to finish the MDF ring, mounted the speakers and voilà!: [IMG]http://i54.tinypic.com/23m5w5i.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
