Mounting depth TOO DEEP! Making custom plastic speaker adapters
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 січ 2020
- In custom car audio it can be difficult to install a new aftermarket speaker into the doors, especially when the mounting depth is limited and the speaker has a large magnet. In this video I account for this by making thick speaker adapters for dad's SQ daily driver.

This C7 stuff is awesome! All of the drivers have cast baskets, even the tweeters. This should sound legendary! All the work you put in sound deadening and wire wise, there should be no need or problems. Can’t wait to hear it!👍🏻😊😁
I love that router table. The height adjustment is simple and accurate. Great work! I'd like to see you do an install of speakers which cannot use the adapter type you show and the door itself needs to be trimmed. I need to trim my speaker openings on my doors as my new Orion XTR69.3 coax speakers don't fit flush into the openings. The basket is large and contacts the edges.
Awesome video! You make it look so easy. I gain a lot of confidence after watching your vids. Now it’s time to plan 👍
I really appreciate your eye for detail, craftmanship and work ethic! Killer video & work as always
Love it man! You were able to get away with some pretty deep spacers in that ride.
Would love to see how you do this the other way around. Speaker adapters to fit bigger speakers in small holes
Wow! I’m blown away. That is 1st class work!
I bought four really nice Orion 6.5s mid range speakers for my equinox, I used crutch field for the size, depth, etc. I took them to 3 different shops here in Vegas & I couldn't get anyone to make new adapters since the speakers were just a little too deep. I even gave some suggestions as to how they could mount them but then it just turned into the shops guessing and quoting me some ridiculous prices. I wish I could've gotten a hold of you, you make it look so easy plus your work looks so good. Great video
Your works are precised.
Very nice thanks for making these types of videos
Beautiful the works that you do. 💯👍🏻😎
I made a custom 3D printed speaker adapter for my vehicle. It looked great!
😎 Thanks for watching! I have some more info for you guys! Here are some other related videos to this topic I have made:

Sir this whole video was nice. Great production
Brilliant video
I’ve been at this for too long man... my speaker screw mounts are on the inside
And I’m dumb for taking on turning the 6” to a 6.5”
In a Honda prelude... ehh I’m gonna keep trying
Thanks for all your help tho
You truly are the best on YT
So jealous of all the lil tools u have so cool
ChiTownTino as an OG CAF fan I can tell you, it’s been a long ride to get all of the tools and toys he has. You can have it too if you work as hard as he has.
Just like anything, one piece at a time.
@@Ziggy75gg I really appreciate that, so many people think it just happened overnight. If you go back to my first videos I had nearly nothing. Its been a ton of work and reinvesting into the tools to get to this today!
CarAudioFabrication I remember the jigsaw rough cuts on the old trash cans in the driveway days and the “router table” on the blacktop.
Keep it up Mark, as you can, you are inspirational and innovative.
Same setup I'm putting in my Kia sorento just jl audio amp the vxi 8I for my doorspeakers, and RD1000 AMP pushing their HO110-W6v3, just need the right professional to install.
I like your working style
I love music, I wish I had your talent!
Can you make a video with your thoughts on the JL W7 Subwoofer lineup? A lot of people suggest they are extremely overpriced for what your getting and I haven't been able to find a clear and concise review on them.
And another great video as always!
I love this shit so much so excited to be out of debt in the next couple of years so I can go balls out with a system
Thanks for all you do. I’ve been following for a while. Currently doing sound deadening material in my truck. There are two vents behind the rear seats. Should I put some foam over/around them to dampen the road noise and flappy noise that comes from them? I only noticed the noise when driving around without the seats.
Excelente
Dude amazing work... my question is and because I haven’t seen anyone work on cadillacs cue system... I would love to see some do that since I have a 13 ATS my self thanks
Great video. Question whats the best tools to use on a budget👍👍👍
Wouvv thanks :)
Have you worked on a Audi that has BOSE stereo? Would like to add more sound and thump with the factory head unit
Cool music!
Mark..what’s the best website to get expanded pvc from ...?
Cool
That’s been my biggest issue finding components that fit my 2019 challenger Crutchfield help but a lot of them wouldn’t fit they said because of the door panel finally went with 2 way kappa components can wait to get them in an installed
So I have a conundrum. My vehicle (a 94 Nissan D21) has INCREDIBLY shallow mounts. I obviously need spacers to off set this but the speakers I picked are amazing lookin and I want the grills on the outside of the door panel. How can I add the spacers to support the speaker but also make sure its out far enough to have the grill on the exterior of the door panel.
What do you think of the jl audio c5 3 way components?
Too hot stuff! But purchasing 20bucks rings is cheaper and faster hahaha
Where do you find the PVC board? The only stuff I can find is either trim or small pieces that are no bigger than like 12" x 15"
My local supply store sells 4x8 smooth sheets and 1x4 up to 1x12 wood grain/smooth boards in 16'. Lowes probably has the 1x stuff. It's used for "wood" trim on house exteriors.
Also not sure if I have the right subwoofer amp? Jls RD1000 pushing jLs HO110-W6V3
What made the decision to use the PVC over say choosing Acrylic / Polycarbonate as you have used before?
i ran into this issue with my mustang door speakers...i had to adapt the 5x7 hole in the door to a 6" round speaker. putting an adapter on interfered with the installation of the door panel. making clearance on the door panel didn't work, so i had to remove the adapter. now i gave a gap from a round speaker in an oval hole that i will have to address
Would a lc7i, to a jl rd1000/1 and a jl rd900/5 with the outs of the Rd 1000 powering the 5th channel of the rd900/5 work well to run 4 jl audio C2-650 components and c2-690 3 way. With 2 kicker comp r on the rd1000 amp.
For stock speaker locations in a 2016 ford fusion retaining factory head unit. Soakers will fit asking if you think it will sound clean overall
I do not always fully understand Crutchfield's fitment guidelines. They said 6.5" woofers would not fit in the wonderful VW GTI (stock is 5.25"). That is true I guess, with no modification whatsoever, but with the very clean CDT FM-007 mount, that was literally all that was required. I do not really consider that to be in the "will not fit" category. I do consider Crutchfield awesome, and they have some experts who give tremendous guidance, it just seems to me they must have a reason they give verrrry cautious fitment advice.
I have a DC18 with a big magnet and it will not fit my Honda fit 2008 speaker hole in this case what I can do?
Hey Mark, you don’t use any sealant or foam tape between the door panel/adapter and adapter/speaker? Or was it just not shown here.
Now how will the door panel fit over it?
Hello CarAudioFabrication I need to add musical presence to the rear of my car (2004 CTS-V) because I hear a deficiency of sound power coming from the S Type 5.25" Alpines. My car is equipped with a Duble DIN (Alpine ILX-W650 with the Alpine KTA-450 Power Pack) what can I do to make the sound coming from the rear better thank you
So am putting 2 pair of 8' Mid range speakers in my 4runner doors. The manufacturer speakers are 6×9 but am going for 8' circular mid range speak. Am drilling into the honey cone dummies so the sound won't remain inside the panel. Hope this do work..
what speed should the router be set at
hey guys.
I have a 2020 Corolla with JBL Sound Option.
Sadly it does not has a Subwoofer and I want to add some Punch.
The JBL system takes alot of base out at higher volumes. Where and how can I get a clean signal for a 25" sub? to get some base at higher volumes? It feels kinda Janky just to splice it into the front speakers.
Where do you get your pvc stock from?
can u give me a site to go to for ofc speaker wires 10,12,14 gauge
What's the advantage of moving the speaker further into the door cavity
And why PVC and not MDF?
@thedog556 But he's not moving it away from the door! The custom mount is shallower than the original, so therefore the speaker is moved further into the door cavity.
This may be a dumb question, but what happens if it touches the inner surface of the door panel?
Please tell the capacitor voltage/specs comes with the C7 Tweeters
I m from India and my Tweeters got blown every time
Please help me
What’s the depth of the plastic your using ?
I did this for my vehicle, but now the door panels wont fit, because the speaker goes too far inward towards the cabin of the car. Fix one problem, create another in my case lol. I'll probably end up making a hole in the door panel, and somehow make it look good, wish me luck. Any advice would be appreciated
I just watched Steve Meade make some with the push of a button
What's the name of that bit you used to counter-sink those bolts?
yeah, whats the gadget you used to counterbore the holes for the bolts? i suppose a bottom cutting endmill could do it fine also..
Mark do you have any promo codes for mobile solutions
Thank you for your great work
Crutchfield doesn't have my truck 😂
Hi, what is the router table setup you have? I am looking to purchase a table and router, but there are so many options, and they don't always advertise if they have a top height adjustment..
Would love to know too! It’s so clean!
I love crutchfield but with my trucks they are wrong about speaker size
Crutchfield do not have adapters for a 2002 do you know who would have them
Crutchfield do not have adapters for a dodge ram 1500 2002 do you know who has it
THICC
wait a minute, just making your own adapter, wtf i didnt think about that , im a woodworker and was looking to "convert", wood everywhere , never thought of doing it like that , god im dumb
I want up grade a Corvette C 7 Corvette. Advise?
What kind of router do you use?
I made a full video about it here: ua-cam.com/video/15QA6uJYePc/v-deo.html
Hi
3:12 thicc
dude your channel has helped me soo much... would love to give you some free songs i made, maybe you can use them for background tunes. My gift to you :)
Anyway you could make me 4 an ship them to me. 😄
i follow you and think ur awsome along with the work u do.....but how about doing all that with no common tools for the average joy and without having to spend 200 hours on a piller or door thxs this is a reason y im starting to skip your videos and going to everyday people who dont do this for a living but get the same results with so much materials of high grade sorry
Nope, I made a build series using "budget" tools an no one watched it. Never again. People want to see the best way to do things. If you want budget there are 100,000 videos with very poor results you can watch. The goal here is to master car audio. Not do things as cheap as possible.
