Speaker adapters for a 7th gen?

Has anyone seen any adapters / spacers for a 7th gen yet? I'm about to get to the part of my installation where I require them and was wondering if they were available for purchase or if I should just get the jigsaw out and start making some of my own.

Thanks!
Ed

they don't have any that are mass produced to my knowledge. I had to make mine out of some birch.

Fess up, what kind of cutting tool did you use to get two perfect hoops like that?

Im guessing a router and a jig??


take a piece of wood that is a little longer than the radius of the speaker. Drill a hole at one end to use as the center of the speaker "hoop".
Then drill another two hole at the other end, at about a 1/4 of an inch.
Screw the first hole in to a piece of wood and use a router bit placed in one of the other holes to cut the circle out.

click the link for demo of what I was "trying" to say

i used a jasper jig along with a router. works like a charm and you will get perfect circle cuts every time!

the "tar" looking stuff is actually two layers of hushmat sound deadener. it helps with keeping noise out, and maximizing the performance of the midbass i have in the doors.
