dumbstruck

[treckrtj]

I am truly dumbstruck. How on earth do I get the front door speaker grills off of my 93 GS? Do I have to remove the enitre door panel? And if so, how do I do that?? Thanks for any help.

I grab mine from the area closes to the door ( I believe thats where) and pull. it has 3 snaps and a plastice piece that holds it in place. be careful..

ya use a screw driver and pry the side closest to the front of the car

lol me?? CAREFUL??? lol ok, I'll try. Thanks man.

[treckrtj]

uhhh....... ok. got the cover off. But now I got more problems. The new speaker don't fit! lol I've seen mention of methods for making custom braces. Can someone tell me the easiest, quickest, and most effective way to do such a thing? Thanks!!

[polak_gino]

u can make it out of anything man, u can use a thin sheet of mdf

the speaker is to deap, or to big around, or the holes don't line up?????????????

[treckrtj]

speaker is too small. I can only get one screw in. SO I guess I'll make a ring out of sheetmetal and extend the rim of the new speaker. Sound good to everyone? And bad opinions or better opinions? Thanks for all the help!

i would use wood

[polak_gino]

like i said earlier i think mdf is the best

[mzdspd]

might wanna use plywood up there cause it gets wet in the door and mdf and water just don't mix

[treckrtj]

uhh......... what is mdf? I probably know what it is, just not by that abreviation.

[Custommx3]

mdf is like what some call Particle board.
Glue and sawdust formed into boards.

[BumpNGlow]

only MDF is tons better and more solid than particle board. Particle board can leak air under extreme pressure and in some cases has been known to litteraly explode. MDF is much more solid and only a little more in price. This is why 75% of the boxes made for subwoofer enclosures is made of MDF.

My mistake, thinking of another type of board. I used MDF for my box as well and my rear speaker rings (adapters).
