That's awesome, what size drill bit did you used for that? How did you make the template?

It was 1/4 " or 3/8",......so long ago , I can't remember. I just laid out a grid using a ruler. Can't remember exactly,..................but looking at the picture,......seems to be 1/2" betwen the lines.

Must have gridded it out at 1/2", then drilled the holes.

I started by deciding where the speakers would fit,...........then drilled the 4 mounting holes, and worked from there.

Hope that helps !!

These are the secret to a nice install. This was the only part that I didn't do myself. Had a local Las Vegas stereo shop make my spacers. The one that goes inside the shock tower is the tricky one !

You get lower bass with the Pioneers !! Haven't seen a 6X9 with a lower frequency rating than the Pioneers. When you're looking for bass that's what catches my eye.
