speaker locations
What do you guys use to cut the holes in the door and kick panel for speakers?

Re: speaker locations
A cut off wheel or an air saw would be fine.

Re: speaker locations
Oh okay, so you just drew the circle, and followed the line. Gotcha.

Re: speaker locations
I use the speaker to trace an outline on the door, drill a pilot hole and use an air chisel to make the cut. If you use a sharp chisel and work slow, the hole will turn out nicely and not need too much cleaning up. Before I install the speaker, I use a little bit of foam weatherstripping before mounting the speaker. As far as the screws, I use regular self-tapping sheet metal screws.

Re: speaker locations
Why cut the doors for speakers...when you can put them in the cab corner? See the link in my signature.

Re: speaker locations
I'm going to make brackets like that, but that hold 2 6.5" speakers. I already have the speakers. I was just toying with the idea of speakers in the doors.
