Got it, thanks!


Man there are a lot of Vettes in Texas, I bet half of the plates I've sold have shipped there!

They'll be on the way to you today, thanks again.

You're not kidding about the number of vettes in Texas... Its hard to keep two hands on the wheel because of all the time I spend waving!

Thanks for the quick turnaround. I can't wait to get them so I can finish up my installation!

I'd love to use these for a pair of 6x9s... any chance of just getting blank plates (but still with mounting holes drilled) and I can cut my own hole for a 6x9 (assuming this stuff cuts easily)? I know you said you don't have much time for customs so I could just cut the 6x9 in myself...

thanks!

Sorry, we used to offer blanks but we sold so few I turned them all into standard plates and haven't made blanks since. The material cuts, but not easily. If you take your time and stop often to allow the blade to cool you could expand the round hole to fit a 6x9.

But honestly, if you're tied to a coaxial speaker, you'd be far better off just installing a round 6.5" coax instead of a 6x9. Yes, you will get slightly more bass out of a 6x9 but an oval shaped speaker is an inherently inferior cone shape for producing sound waves. A round speaker will always sound better than an oval one. My pair of pennies.

Thanks I appreciate the reply and the advice. So much to consider... it's almost debilitating!! (at least for this amateur)

Cheers!

Any way to get plates cut for 5.25s? I've already got my componets and would like to use this setup.

Sorry, I used to offer blanks and customs but they just didn't sell so now all I cut is the 6.5" setup. Only thing I could suggest would be to mount something to my plates and mount the 5.25's to that, but that may defeat the whole purpose for ya.

I got my C6 plates on order and seeing these only increases my desire to get them in the car.

I wonder if Bose employees visit this website...

Just ordered a set. After thinking it over for awhile, I knew these would be a better product than I could manufacture, at way less hassle, and a pretty fair price!

Thanks for making them available,
Dave
