[QUOTE="ducatipaso, post: 7910427, member: 644396"] I think you would have to sound dampen the steel or aluminum quite a bit depending on the gauge you use. Although steel & aluminum are strong they also flex alot more then MDF. You can screw into steel & aluminum but but that doesn't mean the screws will hold for a long time and if you have to remove and then reinstall the screws two or three times they might not stay tight because the holes will become enlarged. Seeing as how you have access to a CNC water jet you might think about making a trim ring / panel that could go around the speakers and paint the panel to match your car or polish the aluminum. I would then use a good 2 part epoxy to hold the trim panels in place. I think it might look cool? [/QUOTE]
