New Speakers - Polk DB6501?

JMow

I cut up the stock speakers to make a metal basket for my tweeters. I was thinking of cardboard but thought it would be too flimsy- glad to know it would have worked though. I don't know why it's hard to cut into those stock speakers, but they did fit the DB6501 tweeters perfectly and the stock covers fit right over top. How did you end up mounting your tweeters? By the way after you get the DB6501 setup, your going to need more bass. I have a great subwoofer setup to show when I get the chance to take a pic. You use the spare tire/wheel itself as the enclosure- no fiberglassing required. Just seal the bottom with foam weatherstripping where the wheel makes contact. the rubber tire will seal the top (peace of thick plywood). Cut a hole for the woofer. Crank it down with nylon straps/ratcheting mechanisms. I threw the carpet right on top. The ratchet mechanisms propped it up so it wouldn't touch the speaker.
