C5 - making mounting template for components
I've seen several in previous posts. Is it as easy as just tracing the existing pattern on to some hardboard? Anyone actually have a PDF or other electronic copy you can print?
Is "hardboard" available at the local home center?
TIA.

You can trace the Bose template when you remove it. Most use .25, .50, or .75" MDF (Hardboard). One member even machines them out of nylon and sells them on here. He will cut the holes any diameter you need. Pretty neat.

I don't want to take away any business from the guy who makes the nylon ones, but I have 2 extra sets made up already. I'll sell them to you for the the cost of shipping and my time to pack them up $15.

leolufse - do these have holes cut for the components already?
I think I read a post saying you'd have to move the tweeter location a bit so it wasn't firing right into the solid plastic of the door panel.
