Choices of speakers

[Grover]

You're welcome (I suggest this to James when they were making the new dashboards).

When I did this install, I ordered from Mcmaster-carr. Got some barrel nuts/binding posts and cut a slot in it with a dremmel. Worked perfect.

I didn't want to name names =)

Thanks Marc, my JBL's fit very nicely because of your comment.

I got the Kickers KS35 fo the front and the KS410 for the rear.

I tought the 3.5 where supposed to fit nicely in the hole and that the stud was long enough. well it's not.

I have the original dash. And the Kickers KS35 dont even fit. the tweeter is against the dash and I cant get the nut on stud.

I hope the rear one fits better.

I bought hese so It wouldn't be a problem installing them.

I had the same issue with the front Kickers. I bent the tabs to fit (and avoid the speaker hitting the dash), but didn't want to run into future problems replacing them. It also seemed like a bit of a clunky way to do it. I ended up epoxy welding new 3' shafts to the frame opening (verses drilling into the fiberglass). Very easy to do and extremely easy to access now. Just an idea...

Steve, did you ever get the coupling nuts?

I've been looking everywhere for them. They are 4mm studs. I found 5mm coupling nuts locally but 4mm was limited to standard nuts. I tried building my own with epoxy but it fell apart. *Sigh*

Hey, does anyone have a how-to on removing the center console/radio mounting bracket? I pulled out all the visible screws but the thing is really in there still.

Those are them - that's the only place I could find them too. But we only need 4, not 25

And, I just realized that store has a $15 minimum order, so we could buy 75 of them to make that....

Steve, did you ever get the coupling nuts?

I did not. It's one of those things where I thought... "I don't want to order them, it'll take forever to get them." Of course that was weeks ago and I would have them by now if I had.

I got sidetracked by a coolent issue. Anyway, I'll get around to it sooner or later.
