Prototype center speaker holder

[88Ironduke]

I ordered mine from the website the other day. I can't wait to get this little part of my project moving ahead. This should be a sweet addition to my truck considering it never had the center speaker from the factory...

Im sure I can do a little re tooling for a smaller hole. If you dont mind me asking, what for? I have found that most 4" speakers have the same bolt pattern. and hole size should not effect sound quality enough to notice.

Another nice side note, with the adhesive done correctly, there is also zero rattles even with a 10" sub hitting as hard as it can.

Thanks.

I have yours 95% done, waiting on the new thread inserts to get here Monday. Ill get them pressed in and it shipped out to you.

Kyle,
The speakers have raised lip that is just outside of the speaker surround, this lip is even with the frame edge so if the speaker hole is bigger than the O.D. of the raised lip, (3.890) then there will be gaps around the speaker. I know it probably won't have a big impact on the sound but I am OCD that way. If you can make the speaker holes a custom size then I would appreciate it and will order this from you. If you can't, or if it's too much trouble, I understand and might still order from you. Thanks, Steve

Paul, I just wanted to give you a update. The new inserts we switched to came in, I presses them in and after a little testing ended up failing. Although they failed under a condition I dont ever see them being in, they still failed. So Im headed back to the old tried and true design. You will have yours soon.
