6.5" Speakers in the Doors

[khan4rtist]

I found this thread about installing 6.5" speakers in the front doors. It was on the old forum posted by computerkiller.

ok people u might know the aveo has like 5 in speakers well the hole in the door allow 6 1/2 if u dont mind taking a drill to the door and useing speaker spacers because that what i done ill have to take pics to show you guys but it kinda tricky to do i found that only certirn speaker spacers work and once your get them in your got put something on the very bottom of the spacer so that when the window come down they dont hit your speaker magents ill try to draw up a digram or something to show




THIS IS JUST THE DIGRAM THE PICUTURES ARE BELOW
if you are wondering where i got my spacers go to circurt city roadshop and ask them for spacers for a 6 1/2 speaker it will cost u about 14 bucks
He used some speaker spacers from circuit city. All I could find online was these. Do you think they will work.

Computerkiller, are these the same spacers that you bought.

did u drill the holes on the metal or on the door panel?

how much....the little midget speakers suck ass....even after an upgrade

I have no idea. I know it will cost me some money to get molds made and blanks vacuum-formed. If there's enough interest I'll pursue it.

I used the factory holes on the door panel... I just cut my mdf spacers to fit, and drilled holes to match the factory holes. Came out pretty good for a 4$ investment.

I've always liked stealth installs, and it looks neat seeing the nice speakers behind the grill. Besides, I had to make sure my kids didn't kick out my speakers.

Yes it is.


Just curious, if I had this mount made in like ABS plastic, would you guys want to buy them?? I still have the pods so I could get them made.

Is it worth my time and investment $$?

Depends how much you want for them... I am interested.

So a 1 inch spacer would be good. Would a 1.5 inch one work?

Who sells 1.5" spacers? I cant find any.
Tried to make my own from wood, but not working out well.

At the time I had found some on ebay. Now all I can find are the 1.5" thick 6x9 ones.

Im interested as well.....hope you persue!

If you make those custom pods, is there a way to put some speaker grilles?

Can you make pods for 5" speakers?

Also, how much would you sell them for??

[aveosummit]

I think anything above 1" will have to be customized

[whiteraven]

I could probably do thse pods in 1/4" ABS, then cover in either Black 'Glass or Billet-Proof 'Glass for around $40 a pair...then leave them uncut so you can put either a 6.5" or 5" speaker in them.

That sound alright?
