Re: Prototype center speaker holder
 

Thanks you. Do you remember the depth in you cut?

These have been so popular that Im going to start running them on a cnc mill so it will be a "easy" feature to add.

Re: Prototype center speaker holder
 

I did mine one inch square.

Re: Prototype center speaker holder
 

Very interested. Has anybody installed one with the factory radio with mounting brackets? Looks like it could cause some clearance issues. If any body has some pics with factory radio that would also be great.

Thanks

Re: Prototype center speaker holder
 

This is what i have to work with. Does any body have any depth measurements?

Re: Prototype center speaker holder
 

Thank you for the feedback, I am working on a new design for the different year based on feedback from you guys. Lucky the material is very easy to work with.

Re: Prototype center speaker holder
 

Even with the aftermarket stereos we use, its a very snug fit. When you receive yours, please let me know if you have any questions.

Remember to dry fit several times before applying the adhesive.

Kyle

Re: Prototype center speaker holder
 

whats the timeline on availability of these again?

Re: Prototype center speaker holder
 

Currently have 6 plates in stock and 3 sets of speakers left. Either way I can ship tomorrow.

Kyle

Re: Prototype center speaker holder
 

price of a plate only shipped to 35611

Re: Prototype center speaker holder
 

$61.31 sipped to your door.

Re: Prototype center speaker holder
 

I just want the mounting plate only, no speakers.

Re: Prototype center speaker holder
 

Speaker plate, adhesive and hardware retails for 49.99 plus shipping

With speakers is $99.99

Either way I can ship today.

Re: Prototype center speaker holder
 

I thought I would share the pics with the factory installed radio. The radio is actually stock housing with the fm/blue tooth added so I did not want to get rid of it.

I had to dent in the radio tin which had plenty of room inside. I also had to cut the speaker holder to fit with the stock radio mounting bracket.

Overall the install went easy and it turned out good. Took any about 45 min to fit and install.

Re: Prototype center speaker holder
 

Thank you for the feedback. This was also another reason I chose the speakers I did. They were very shallow and seem to fit most applications.

The relief for the dash pad bolt is in the works. where is says "cut half off" on the picture, what are you referring to?

Re: Prototype center speaker holder
 

I cut a 1/2 inch off on the dash pad side to move it a little closer in effort to get speakers a littler higher. The speaker I am using which is an alpine is actually a hair shorter then the Kenwoods. 1 21/32 vs 1 11/16 only 1/32 shorter, but if the magnets are smaller on the kenwoods that would allow more room.

I would definitely buy again. The material is very easy to cut.

Thanks
Kyle

Re: Prototype center speaker holder
 

OK, I get it now. Im glad it all fit. The material used was intentional as I knew there would be so many variables when installing. It is really easy to work with which makes life nice.

Re: Prototype center speaker holder
 

I have a few left in stock. will ship same day if ordered before 2pm PST

Re: Prototype center speaker holder
 

Funny to look back 6 months when this was just a thought you had and a problem worth solving.

Speaking of....you know what I haven't bugged you about in a long time? It rhymes with schmossmember. :mm:

Re: Prototype center speaker holder
 

Thanks, Im really happy with how well this little plate has done and the great feedback I have got to make it better. I have a few more small ideas like this in process right now. Trying to get the bugs worked out and on customer trucks.

The front suspension took a back seat for awhile. I ended up selling my big motor to foot the bill for some new website and business stuff. 13.5:1 wasnt streetable anyway so a 540 with twins is on the drawing board once the business starts doing its thing and I can get some help in here. 1 man band is getting tough. Its still a goal to go in the 8s on a bag in a truck, but helping customers is priority. I need to get back in the racing section and see whats new with everyone. Hope you guys are making gains.

Kyle

Re: Prototype center speaker holder
 

hahah its all good. Everything always gets pushed back when someone who's actually willing to pay walk in :lol: Our Fbody hasn't even been out for more than 2 days at a time...and it just made good friends with a curb its last run out. Turns out "testing our new traction control program" means "keep your foot planted until it hits something"....go figure.

Spent most of yesterday helping fix a car that was spending welllll past the owners intelligence level. I mean, its a badass cryo'd and meth'd F1b on a forged 430 in a C6...but turns out you can't trust owners to ACTUALLY CHECK the #$%^)(%#$& ^ #$ METH TANK...... /rant

Glad things are going well. Offer always stands, I'll come out if you need help. Building and fixing people's junk feels about the same no matter where it happens :lol::metal:

Re: Prototype center speaker holder
 

Frank,

Have you received your kit yet? if you have any questions on install, please let me know.

I have 2 left in stock and currently out of speakers. waiting for a new batch of speakers and material to arrive to restock everything. Thanks again for all the great feedback and install pictures.

Kyle

Re: Prototype center speaker holder
 

Steve,

I'm re tooling to do a large run. Do you have a specific size hole you want? I will do one with the hole size you want. if it works with my speakers then I will do them all the same. If not I can sell you the one off.

Kyle

Re: Prototype center speaker holder
 

I haven't gone to the USA yet ( I am waiting on a few more parts to arrive at my US Address in Ogdensburg. In the mean time I am busy getting a lot of small jobs done ,installing glass,wiring harnesses. I will let you know when I get the plate installed.

Re: Prototype center speaker holder
 

Hi Kyle,

I will get a measurement today after work and PM you.

Thanks!

Re: Prototype center speaker holder
 

Kyle,

The holes would be 3.890" instead of 4"

Thanks, Steve

Re: Prototype center speaker holder
 

Got it. I will see what I can do for you. CNC mill makes things a little easier to change the design.

Re: Prototype center speaker holder
 

Cool, thanks Kyle!

Re: Prototype center speaker holder
 

Hey Kyle,

Just a thought, If it helps me to get the speaker plate any sooner, I am happy to pre-pay for it.

Thanks,
Steve

Re: Prototype center speaker holder
 

I thought I replied to this but apparently not.

I should have material for the new batch tomorrow then I can get going on them. Ill keep you posted. no pre order needed.

Re: Prototype center speaker holder
 

Eagerly awaiting! Thanks Kyle!

Re: Prototype center speaker holder
 

Hey Kyle,

Any progress on the speaker mounts?

Thanks.

Re: Prototype center speaker holder
 

Steve,

Im really shooting to have the new design production run done and ready to ship the end of next week. looking at the schedule it takes #1 priority Tuesday morning. Im new to the CNC world so the learning curve has been a little steep causing some delays. But we are making progress.

Kyle

Re: Prototype center speaker holder
 

That's good news! Thanks for the update Kyle.

Re: Prototype center speaker holder
 

Hi Kyle, still on schedule for delivery? Thanks.

Re: Prototype center speaker holder
 

Steve,

If you want to order one I will be hand making yours like I did the older version. The CNC guy and I arent seeing eye to eye on the design so its been pushed back again. Thursday I ordered the correct part for my machine to cut the inner circle to your spec. Or really really close to. Tomorrow I will be making a small hand run batch to fill orders until the CNC batch is done.

Kyle

Re: Prototype center speaker holder
 

Hi Kyle,
Sounds good, but I have one question. How will your "Hand made" ones be different from the CNC made ones? Any difference in quality?
If not, I'll take one.

Thanks!

Re: Prototype center speaker holder
 

there is no difference in quality. All the materials are the same, the end product looks the same its just how its manufactured. Right now I cut blanks place them in a precision cut jig, drill and route everything by hand. The CNC is just going to speed up that process.

Re: Prototype center speaker holder
 

Ok, sounds good then. Thanks Kyle, I am looking forward to getting it.

Re: Prototype center speaker holder
 

Just ordered mine! Thanks Kyle.

Re: Prototype center speaker holder
 

Steve,

I'm Sorry I could not meet your spec. I really wish I could have done it better. If you dont get one built by the time the CNC guy and I get back in line, yours will be the first off the machine. Until then, I will continue to build the old design for customers.

Kyle
