Im tryin to make some speaker adapter plates and I read somewhere to use a a sheet of ABS. Where exactly do I get a sheet of this if anyone knows? Im somewhat new to this and ive never even heard of this. Any help would be much appreciated.
thanks,
ryan

 

I know Parts Express has sheets of plastic. I think the thickest they have is 1/8'th inch, which will work fine.

Just trace your pattern onto the sheet with a pencil, then cut it out with a jigsaw or Dremel like tool. Then drill the holes out for the screws to hold it to the door.

 

You can also try www.crutchfield.com they have several speaker adapters if you can't find what your looking for.

I could not find what i was looking for at crutchfield or parts express does anyone know of anywhere else?

 

Damn, well you could use wood, thin plywood, like 1/4" and make them, that would work great if you don't see them, or buy a piece of plexi-glass at a local stereo shop. That would work too.

Go to Parts Express, put in part number 265-948.

At Crutchfield, theres a menu on the left side. Click on Accesories. Theres a bunch of options, under Speaker install, click More, once that page loads, click on speaker adapter plates.

 

thanks Bartak1 i found it but do you know of any places around town that might have them walmart or anything.Parts express wants 7.35 ship i dont really want to pay more ship then the item cost of 6.50. I might just bite the bullet but i wanted to check first.
thanks again

hey to all check these speaker adapter plates out and tell me if you think that they would fit with my 2000 f-150 single cab and alpine sps-171a 6.5 components
thanks

 

I've never seen anything like that at Walmart. If there is a stereo shop around there call them or something and ask if they have any.

Im not sure if the ones from Crutchfield will work. The stock speakers are 5x7 and those are for 6x9's, although you might be able to make them work.

My RE comps are here and will get installed soon, and if I get mine in before you Ill let you know whats involved, but when I looked, I figured Ill have to cut some of the door to make them fit(they are 6.5's too.).

But I dont know anything.

 

Bartak1 thanks man and let me know

 

K. I might get a chance to get em in tonight.

 

good luck bartak1

 

Well, I didnt get a chance to get them in, only my new amp.

By the looks of it, it might take more work than I though.

 

If this thread isn't getting too old, but you can get a 12x12" ABS at bestbuy "install" for $4.00.

 

thanks frostby but what do you mean "install"
