[QUOTE="I Like Waffle, post: 5485627, member: 600248"] This is a small build thread im doing for the sake of people that have the old ass GM cars with the 4x9 size speakers or whatever they are and cant find good rear replacements that bolt up. 1st pic - my infinity 5022i coaxs. Some decent coaxs i got from work for around 45-50$. Probably 50-60 at any online retailer. These speakers are by far the best 5 1/4 coaxs ive heard yet. Ive owned type r coaxs, phoenix gold, and a few others, and these are by far more clearer and have alot more midbass to them as well. They blend perfectly with my PG comps up front.

Obviously cant fit anything directly in there so this is where MDF comes in handy. [IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y187/drchronic/P4150028.jpg[/IMG] 3rd pic - Me drawing everything out. I used the template that came with the speakers to measure the cutout holes, and traced a 6 1/2 plastic baffle i had laying around to round out the edges of the mdf baffles im making. [IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y187/drchronic/P4150030.jpg[/IMG] 4th Pic - Another pic of the tracing. The baffles i made measure 10w x 5 3/4.
