Default Mounting speakers

How are you guys mounting them? Are you using the old bose housing, or making something totally new? Its kind of a small space in a C4, but I think I can use some MDF up front, with my CDT's.

1/4" hardboard is good for front speaker mounts. It's not real thick, and it's nice and sturdy. :thumbs:

Thanks for the pictures, now some questions

1) What are the Dimensions?
2) on the driverside how far forward from the E-brake is the box mounted?
3) where do you plan on mounting your tweeters?
4) how far out the back of the box does the driver sit?
5) what is the mounting depth for those speakers


Reason I am asking as much as I am, is I have a 89 vette with 1991 interior and I want to possibly move the speakers from the doors to the Frame Rail area..

THANKS

Ok, I'll have to get the dimensions tomorrow morning. The back piece is 1/4 mdf, and the front is 3/4. The front sits on a 15 degree angle off the backer. There's an indent where the old bose sat, so I placed the new box over the old spot. I'm planning on putting the tweets in the door panels. Hope that helps for now

Yes Thanks!!! Are the boxes built to a size close to the Old Bose Box?

Also please post pictures after the tweeter install
