update

i decided to play with my broken 5.5 in. speaker.
here it is for reference of how big it is:

here are pictures of the factory hole for those that dont know what were talking about:

its about 4" of circular space, but the 5.5's still fit nicely tilted:

i dont know though, im kinda partial to this spot

so i think ill be using those holes for sure. ill try stuffing material in the holes that can asorb echo (but the problem is what ill use, since if cloth is put in there, it can get damp and rust metal)
and then fab up some nice housing at the welding shop i work at

I built a console for my stereo and speakers, (still have the factory block out plate for the factory hole) I put 6x9 in it. It sounds good and looks nice, but with a four speed you have to watch where the shifter is in reverse.

here are the pics of my attempt at a console. I need to get some carpet (and a long list of other things) in to hide the wires better

That looks good, Does it not get in the way of the shifter???

florian67 · Post by **florian67** » Sun Mar 23, 2008 9:21 pm

No, it actually has about a 1/2" of clearance when its in reverse

did you do it yourself or did you buy one of those highliners with the built ins? Any pix? I'm getting ready to install stero/headliner, so I was considering headliner for speaker location too.
