i use mdf some guys say it will absorb moisture etc but in the vette never seen an issue. lexan will work also some guys will pick up cheap plastic cutting boards and use that
in all the installs i do. 1/2" for the woofer and 1/4" mdf for the tweeter, should be able to pick up small 1/4 sheets at homedepot should be like 10-15 for both and have tons left over. spray paint em black and u will be good to go
i pulled speakers out of an 05 to put it back to stock so the guy could trade it in, i did the install in 05 with mdf plates car is driven basically year round except in heavy snow the plates were in great shape still
