Speaker box Installed

The speaker box is installed, but not finished. I'm waiting for the buffers for the 4x6's before I wire them in

. It fits snug and I think it looks great

. I'm going to fill the box with batting material so it sounds more solid

. It took alot of hours to design, but it was worth it, and it fit so nice

. Here are a few pictures of it in my '81

I'm going to be making other options for this box Jim, I'll be starting today on other temp plates for the face, even one with a center compartment

. The two 6.5:" round will be one of the options

Looks good.

Plenty of flexibility on a front panel to provide whatever size speakers and spacing people want.
Will your T tops still fit under this box?

I can try it and let people know. There is at least 3" under the box, so I'm not sure. There are many things I'll have to check before I build these for other people

Yes Gingerbreadman, those are the original speaker brackets you see. I removed the speaker covers so the box would set back more. It would be even better to remove the brackets so it fits flush with the back
