Speaker Rings

2000 Grand Prix's start with 5.25 speakers in the front door with tweeters in the sail panel.



The goal is to mount the 6.5 speakers in the stock location and then the tweeters on the A-pillar. First step for the 6.5s was to make a template from the speaker mounting ring:



We started with a ring and a half ring in order to angle the speaker upwards similiar to the factory setup. This required sanding the rings to provide a flush mounting surface:



In order to mount the larger ring over the 5.25 door hole we made two notched aluminum bars to mount the ring to:

   

This has turned out not to work so well and I think we are going to make a new mount with a greater angle on it that extends through the hole to make sealing the door easier.
