Halloween comes a month early as I raise this thread from the dead to bring you a little rear fill excitement.

:ohnoes9: Budget speakers. Ahhhhhh!

Gruesome.

I'll be installing these speakers in the rear pillar panels. Since they are going on plastic panels and because of the intense bass vibrations I made some steel mounting rings to get the speakers securely mounted.

Here are the mounting rings painted and rivnuts installed.

One last detail I am putting on the speaker ring is a pair of rivet holes. I'll be riveting the speaker trim ring and the steel mounting ring to the rear pillar panel. That way I can install and remove the speaker as necessary without have to juggle in place the mounting ring and trim ring. Plus it'll make it easier to remove and install the panel without the speaker in it.

Here is how I got the factory speaker out and modified the panel mounting provision.

DSC00185.jpg

Once I got the speaker mounting holes cut, using the same score and break technique I used for the kick panel pods, I secured the steel mounting ring in place with some small c-clamps. I then drilled the clearance holes by using a small drill bit through the rivnut. With mounting holes accurately located I followed up with the proper clearance hole size drill bit.

Here I have the steel mounting ring mocked up with the mounting hardware I'll be using to mount the speaker. I am transfer drilling the rivet clearance holes in similar fashion that I did the mounting holes.

Here is a close up of the rivet securing the trim ring and mounting ring on to the panel. One thing that I did before getting the rivet on, is touching up the hole with a counter sink. This allowed the rivet to sit below the speaker mounting surface.

Modifying the speaker/panel mount compromised the integrity of the assembly. To bring back some of that integrity I'll be using some of this epoxy on the panel clip standoffs. I've had really good luck using this epoxy on plastic. On top of that it's cheap, it comes with easy to use mixing nozzles, and it's readily available at Walmart.

DSC00187.jpg

Here is one of the panel clip standoffs I used the epoxy on, there are four standoffs in all. I made sure to thoroughly clean the panel of dirt, dust, and any oily residue to get proper adhesion. I can't emphasize enough the importance of properly prepping the panel before laying a bead of epoxy.

Finally the light and the end of the tunnel. The panel in place with the trim ring and mounting ring in place.

Driver in place. Oh the horror!

Tah-Dah!

The End, for now. o_O
