Anybody here make their own door speaker adapters??

I'm looking at some door speaker adapters and really don't want to pay $35+ for the taco tunes ones. Has anybody made their own out of cutting board material or something similar? I really don't want to use MDF for the fear of it warping over time with water.

 

I made mine out of mdf and painted them.

 

Back in the day I made a few custom ones for my MkIII Supra out of fiberglass. Only because I couldn't find anything that looked good. Cost me 50 bucks for two and it was a pain in the ass. Good luck though, sometimes it's more fun to make your own stuff.

 

go ross and buy the palstic cutting board and cut out and make your own speaker adapters

 

I got mine on Ebay for 20 bucks..guy sells a lot on there so I bet you can find em

 

Are they quality adapters?

 

Yep yep..went right into my '10. I bought the 6 by 9 adapters for about $20.

I'm not affiliated or anything, but search the Ebay seller autoware302 for the guy I bought from. He has good stuff and shipped them really quick too.

 

I like Pinky's suggestion about the cutting board. The HDPE material is very nice for making speaker baffles and will hold up over time. That's the cheapest way to get the material to my knowledge.

 

I did MDF and painted them. A scroll saw makes a very easy way to cut exact shapes once you draw out your template. The paint protects the MDF. Strong, fits well, easy to cut, and hasn't been any issue at all for 2 years.

 

Paint does help seal up the pores. That's what I use in my own application just because I happen to have a ton of MDF in the garage sitting around.
