[QUOTE="Tungsten, post: 250035, member: 546239"] 1/2" thick panel... not 1". I made several different adapter plates out of various materials before settling on the 1/2" thick oak. I tried 3/4" MDF but it was too thick and would have caused the speaker surround to slam into a 6x8 oval bracing that Ford molded into the door panel. I couldn't find any 1/2" MDF locally and actually thought about running some 3/4" MDF through a wood plane to cut off about 1/4" thickness to make a 1/2" thick sheet, but it occurred to me that it would be awfully flimsy when it was done. So I opted for the 1/2" oak instead. Plenty of room between the speaker and the door panel and no bulging of the door panel to speak of. It fits perfectly. [/QUOTE]
