Planning on putting some 8" mid-bass speakers in the front doors, and I would like to figure the maximum "width" of MDF I can use for the speaker mount to be able to pull the speaker away from the window, but not so far that it hits the door panel. I would like to thank the O.P. for the pics.(2thumbs)
Upon researching the available 8" mid-bass speakers (in my budget....), I'm seeing top mount depths range from 2.6" to close to 4". I was wondering if anyone still had their old factory speakers to measure the distance noted in the pic below. (and if this distance is uniform all around the speaker, or is it shallower at one side with the speaker sitting "tilted". If it is tilted, what is the minimum measurement?) If we're at 2 3/4" between the metal door frame and the window + say 1 1/2 of speaker mount, I'd feel comfortable with a speaker approaching 4" deep, but w/o knowing the depth of the factory speaker mount, I don't want to order speakers that are too deep.
