Default C5 speaker templates

Where can I find plans for speaker templates to replace the bose speakers in the doors with aftermarket parts. I have some 3/4" MDF laying around which would be perfect but I want to be able to cut them and have them ready before I take the door apart, so I won't have a chance to trace the stock speakers.

I dont know where to get templates, but Ill make a suggestion if I may. Komoman on this site makes C5 and C6 mounts that are CNC cut from plenolic material that is far superior to MDF. Just a suggestion.

Myself and DPG have a nice template but its too big to scan cause its bigger then a piece of paper.

Honestly trace and cut its not that hard

I concur. I'd suggest large graph paper so you can verify your tracing with actual measurements.

I just saw those and they look great, but I really enjoy building this type of thing by myself, it gives me a good sense of accomplishment.

I was hoping to be able to find a template or schematic so I could build them before taking the car apart. its my DD so I don't want have it apart any longer than harnesses. I'm hoping to build some panels ahead of time so I can start on a Friday and have everything back together on Sunday. to avoid that unpleasant feeling of knowing that I have to drive to work tomorrow and my car is still in pieces I'd like to do as much preliminary work ahead of time as possible.

If you don't want to wait for paint to dry, you can also wrap them in carpet or vinyl.
