However this one is nearly wrong... have 1 set left of the standard plates with holes and about 5 sets of blanks. Production is tight on my machines right now and while I'm hoping to cut some more very soon I don't know for sure when I can.
Get 'em while we got 'em!

I know it's self-serving of us to be the ones to chime in here, but that's simply true. I made a set out of 1/4" MDF out of curiosity. They looked nice, but you could snap them without even bending it over your knee. The phenolic plates would require way more pressure than the average knee can deliver to snap. You also don't have to worry about the screws tearing up the material when you install the speakers and having them fall out.
The phenolic is a superior material by far. Whether it's worth it to you or not is a decision only you can make.

These are great! I bought a pair, sanded one side of each and painted them all black to go with the doors/speakers. Great quality, perfect fit, and they hold screws easily without stripping! Thanks for an outstanding product at a reasonable cost.

These are really nice. They are extremely sturdy, moreso than any speakerplate/adapter I've used.
I used different (larger) tweeters than the hole in the tweeter plate, I found a dremel with a sanding drum on it was great to enlarge it.
These fit my 'vette perfectly, very satisfied.
I wound up using screws with nylock nuts and washers, the stuff these are made out of is very tough, and I snapped the head off of one of the self tappers that came with my Alpine components.
I wish these things were available for other cars I've had to do, they're really nice. A++++++++
