Well I am getting my Corolla ready to go to the University in the fall. When i bought it, all of the speakers were blown. I have since replace the front 4" speakers and it is now the time to put in the rear. Since I had some 6x9 Pioneers just sitting in my room, i decide to put them in. I was just going to cut into the deck and put them in that way; however, a couple of bars from the trunk prevented me from doing this. Time for a new plan:
I had some OSB wood just lying around, so i decided to use that.
I traced the inside and outside of the speaker, and cut them out. It turns out that i needed 3 layers of 3/4 inch OSB wood for a total height of 2.25 inches.
i glued the layers together and waited. (I also put wood filler on the edges so it will be smooth on the outside when sanded)
once dried i test fitted them. all that hangs out of the bottom is the magnet. (i know in the pics there are only 2 layers, this was before i made the third. also i made them vertical so i wouldn't have to mess with the hole from the old speakers)
and that is all i have completed as of tonight. Tomorrow will include:
sanding down the outside
painting it black with some rattle can
drilling some holes in the deck and mounting them
Linear Mode
