As I don't have access to tools/saws to cut rings for myself, where would be a good place to get trim rings for my 4th gen 6.5" door speakers? Or could I paypal someone here for some?

Maybe they are called spacer rings?

 

you can find pretty much anything on ebay

 

iirc Don does sell them.

 

ATTENTION: NEWBIE ALERT.........
What does one need those for? There is a plastic peice that is attached to the door and is a spacer on my 4th gen with blose. Is that not good enough?

 

Plastic can resonate and color the sound of the midwoofer, which is why people go with something like MDF, which is much more "dead"

 

plus they're easy to make. just cut out a ring out of MDF. mount speaker to ring. mount ring to door.

 

ahhh I see thank you young grasshopper!

The things you learn So if someone was to go for an all out sound quality build, these would be a must.

 

yup

 

if you need a set you pay your postage ill cut you some tommorrow. Im going to be on my router doing some to finish off my fronts. i can cut you a set easy enough.

 

I would think you would be the young grasshopper

 

indeed you are correct!

 

what would you charge for a set of those? Just curious.

 

How much for me to get 2 sets mang? 6.5"'s needed to do my 4 doors, and I don't have my router since I lent it out. Would be nice to just get some that were made for me.

 

damn. i was just knocking out some for someone that bought my speakers and needed some. Not that hard unless you want em flush mounted which still...isnt that hard. i can knoc out a pair for you for 5+ ship. ill be in the garage all night since the steering wheel module owned me yesterday lol.

 

I will take a set if you take paypal... These will work on my 1997 front doors right? I bought a set of the polk audio db6501 components. I need them shipped to Canada... I will provide my postal code so you can get a shipping quote.
thanks

 

11.86 is your shipping, 5 is your total.

yes
$5 +flate rate shipping

10 and as your gonna guess flat rate shipping lol.

 

Fixed.

 

i read fine butt tart lol, its the page flipping thats got me flustered

 

blah blah blah minor details.

 

still waiting on your paypal so that I can pay you for those rings.

thanks.

 

i need a front set also. if u have room for one more set ill buy it. Front doors on a 4th gen.

 

i sent it? oops...sent the info, just not the paypal lol. my bad.

ebay.workout@gmail.com

 

Sweet. How much is the flat rate mang, and I'll shoot the pp to you immed.

 

I thought I could help here since I am going to cut some 3/4" MDF 6.5 rings. Dang is helping out here. Never mind.

 

just sent you a paypal for the rings.... shipping address is in the notifaction.

looking forward to these.
thanks

 

now do these rings fit all four doors? to allow you to put 6.5 inch speakers in all four doors correcT?

If so I would like a set of 4

 

Yes all 4 doors are the same

 

shipped, may be there tommorrow.

 

I found a buddy with tools and ended up making them myself. I was surprised how thick I had to make them. I used 2 layers of 3/4" MDF and 1 layer of 1/4" MDF at the bottom for the 4 screw points to the door. (cut little "ears" with space for the screw holes)

 

ya i used 2 3/4" and a 1/2" to get mine in

 

I should have asked if I would need more than one set for the front doors for this project? Sound like the answer is yes, but I will wait for cant_get_ryte to respond. What size did you cut these from like 3/4 or 1/2 I should have asked in the orginal post.

 

cut from 3/4

Both Decked and JS are shipped.

If you need more than a set let me know. i always have stuff sitting around and its no issue. I use birch due to the weight diff to mdf, but I ALWAYS got extra lol. always.

as well in my fourth gen i used two 3/4 inch. was overkill,depends on the mids you run. I didnt really need em, just with how shallow the germaniums were i could get a good amount of acoustic foam behind em With two of the rings instead of one. Shrug..im a weird dude

 

I'm going with the polk audio db6501 component set for the mids. You think I will need more than one set cut from 3/4 inch?

 

whats the mounting depth on em? If so ill send out another set.

 

2" I believe.
top mount is 1 11/16th.
so yeah 2"

 

You'll be fine with just one ring.

 

I'd be interested in a set of MDF speaker rings too. I have the same 6.5" Polk Audio components as JSMax (thanks to his tip), so just a pair of the 3/4". Care to make another set? If so I'll PayPal ya.

BTW, you mentioned birch? By that do you mean the wood?

 

yeah baltic birch. same strength as mdf, but when you make a complete box its way lighter. WAY lighter. specially when you get to double baffling stuff etc.

i can knock out a set if you want today. im picking up my bench and weights in a bit, but ill be in the garage for the rest of the day.

 

awesome thanks!!

 

Can i get a Set aswell for my 99 Maxima
