i was wondering if anyone made some custom 6.5 inch speaker pods for a 98 ranger.. let me know ASAP PLEASE! can u make more??!?!

 

what is it you're looking for exactly?

with a simple baffle you'll be able to fit a 6.5.. is that all you're looking for


EDIT: here's a quick drawing i did a while ago.. i was going to create some custom enclosures that would sit inside the door for a 3 way component system... this is what the door panels were going to look like. i sold the truck instead though, lol.

 

ya man anything to make my 6.5's fit in the factory 5x7 spot or some kick pods or anything

 

go to crutchfield.com and search for "kick panel"

 

i did have a set, but threw them out when i traded my truck in.

you can easily make a set... i definatley wouldn't buy them anywhere, lol.

 

how would you go about making them, fiberglass?

 

me? yeah.. they'd be glassed, then wrapped in suede. that was the idea anyway.

with the new truck i just bought another set of components i've wanted for a while... they won't involve any custom pods or anything so there's nothing to show for them, lol.

 

I'm guessing a piece of masonite or other thin solid wood cut into the shape of the 5x7 speaker cutout with screw holes and then a hole cut for the 6.5. Not too tough to do.

(If only fabricating rear door sub boxes was as easy...)

-C

 

yeah i just used hard fiberboard... traced a stock speaker, marked where the screw holes were, then got the dimensions for the new speaker and centered it on the template. i think most speakers even come with a paper template for you to use to make things even easier when making baffels... its not hard at all

 

this is what i did to make my JL 5.25"s fit up front, used like, 3/8" crap wood, but its working, i also wrapped it in some red fabric i had left over from my sub box, so it looks pretty decent. I just traded my buddy the JL's for the fosgate Power series 5.25's, can't wait to hear em.

 

ON EBAY:

there ya go.

i have lots of wood in my garage just being stored from jobs, etc.... so i'd never buy a set since they can be made in a couple of mins. however, 9 bucks isn't bad if you aren't what you're doing.

 

but i dont think i can make 6.5's fit in a 5x7 place with those plastic ebay things, i wish i could afford those kicker panels god 170 bucks gah
