Does any one have Idea's for Speaker - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

VROD383 · 02-20-2008, 09:36 AM

Right now I have nothing and thinking of putting some speaker in my Blazer, but im looking for ideas.
If you have some picture or how you did it; if you made some thing custom.

I put mine where the air vent doors were, never used them anyway.

Big J · 02-20-2008, 10:27 AM

Very nice. The PO cut holes in the door for the stereo in mine that doesn't work. I plan to fill those in and put speakers in side panels in the back.

VROD383 · 02-20-2008, 11:13 PM

Looks great I wish my inter. was that clean. Having the speaker under the dash how does it sound.
What size speaker did you use.

RustyParts · 02-21-2008, 08:00 PM

I used round 6" speakers because I had some handy, but oval speakers may fit better. I had to use some enclosures behind the speakers as the sound had a tendency to emit from the area of the wipers, but that might not have been to bad because you could listen to music with the doors closed.

My Jimmy has a half cab so it sounds pretty decent and it doesn't have the sound of a high dollar system but with a little planning it could have.

I didn't spend a lot of money on the system because when the windows are down or the top is off it's hard to hear anyway.

Buy the way, thanks for the comments.

Good idea, I would like to see some pics of them behind the seats.

I was just going to cut the doors in my roadster, just not sure. Music is a necessity when I drive.

Rusty, did you cut anything to install those in the vent holes?

DANTES JIMMY · 03-01-2008, 12:56 AM

i think both of those pics are sweet ideas
how did you fit an enclosure behind the vent holes
and hill job how do you even start for a base with fiberglass i am wanting to know
because i am wanting to some thing similar in the back side panel area
i know what i want but have no idea how to start

**slomotion** · 03-01-2008, 01:14 AM

When I've wanted to make quick and dirty forms for parts back in my boat building days I'd go to the lumber yard and buy a 4'X8' sheet of 2" closed foam rigid insulation. You can cut that stuff real easy. It files and sands with virtually no effort at all. Just rough cut two or three pieces about the size of whatever your building, then glue up however many you need for the thickness of your finished project. Cut, sand, file, smooth until you get the part shaped the way you want it, then use it as the buck to get your fiberglass mold.

That's over simplifying a little, but there's really not much more to it.

I didn't have to cut out anything, but I did have to fill in at the top of the speakers because of them being round that why I think that oval speakers would fit better as the vent hole is oval shaped. I wish I'd taken more pics but the speakers were kind of a spur of the moment deal.

Since my interior was already stripped I welded in a piece at the top of the vent hole to make it round so I could use the round speakers.
