[QUOTE="fossil99ca, post: 1023386, member: 554480"] I don’t know if have taken your door panels off yet. But just the cosmetic grill might be mounted to the door skin. Take your door panel off. I wouldn’t be surprised if the speaker is actually mounted to the steel part of the door. If I were you, I would look into mounting the speaker to the metal part of your door, not the plastic. Make those MDF baffles to space the speaker off the metal part of the door so they just clear the underside of the plastic grill. You won’t need to reinforce the plastic; maybe just some sound deadening is you want. If you want to keep the stock look, you could even oversize the speaker larger than the grill and have it overlap the grill slightly (go 6-1/2”). It’s not ideal (since your blocking part of the speaker) but again you keep the stock look. [/QUOTE]
