buy a speaker pod from www.newministuff.com that way you can get those nice 6.5" in there

mutilator · Feb 13th, 2004, 05:23 PM

heh, i just cut the cone out of the origonal speakers and used the shell as a pod

MiniDoug · Feb 13th, 2004, 06:29 PM

If you use the old shell as a spacer you can only fit 13cm jobs!

mutilator · Feb 13th, 2004, 06:31 PM

13cm infinity components are fine

scooterboy · Feb 13th, 2004, 06:35 PM

I used the old shell to trace onto MDF of the correct thickness, then cut out the spacers with a jigsaw.
