tweeter covering ideas

[chawski 10+ year member]

I recently picked up some used RSD tweeters on here, but unfortunately had no mounting hardware. I was able to make some metal mounting brackets with no problem, but im looking for a way to clean up all the edges on the door panel where they had to be drilled. The tweeters are maybe a mm or 2 shy of 1-5/8in diameter, so i have a slight gap around the tweeter and the hole (used a 1-5/8in hole saw). Can anyone give me some ideas of something to cover this up with?

I was thinking maybe I could make a small mdf ring and cover it with some fabric to match the door panel, but there is a slight contour to the panel, so that could get tricky. Can anyone either add to this idea or suggest something else? I can fiberglass well, but id really rather not do this bc I dont want to have to paint or wrap the entire door panel so it all matches.

Thanks!

body filler for the contour

not a bad idea. Think it can be done clean tho? Ive never worked with it on plastic. shouldnt be too hard to wipe off with no excess residue as long as it hasnt cured?

i would router out a ring out of ABS and heat it up so you can mold it to the contour and then cover it in some grille cloth

I think I have some tweeter mounting cups laying around I'll give you if you pay for shipping envelope and shipping

Fimplass, if you have some that would fit a 1-5/8in diameter, that would be fantastic.

That abs idea sounds good too
