DIY Fitting big speakers to front doors of the GQ with Electric Windows

[MudRunnerTD]

I posted this in another thread for Ryano, i had meant to put this up as a DIY for a long time but never got to it. Here it is.

The problem is that with Electric Windows in a GQ a bigger speaker will foul on teh glass when it comes down. Nissan Speakers are crap!

This is what i did.

I had to figure this out a few years ago and this is what i did.

I saw that there really is a defined line in the trim so i cut off the bottom speaker cover section and made a new one.

Here is the pattern i made





I used that onto 19mm MDF and cut out the new speaker mount and worked the round with the router. (12mm radius) then painted it with Charcoal Hammertone paint









I have also used a line of gold coloured self drilling tek screws to hold on the door car because the clips gave up the ghost a long time ago. Works a treat and looks ok. (Bit dirty in that pic, sorry)



I hope that is useful for someone.

Cheers MR
