Home made baffles, How to

I decided to be cheap and make my own baffles. Here is a write up of what I did if any one out there tight on money, here is a way to save

1st
take old speaker out and cut it, yes cut it.




Then I solder the wires to the old ones.



Hook up speaker.. I used a sony xplode 6 1/2 and just screwd in onto the plastic


You can used the old connection


No problem fitting the door panel back

 

Nice writeup. Looks great

 

Had to make my own tweeter baffles... I used some type of cardboard...( dont remember the name )

Simple, trace and cut.. Not the cleanes cuts but it worked.






Im happy with results....

 

In you pics I saw a wood baffle, did you make that one as well?

 

+1 for your instructions...did the same thing to my gf's cobalt, worked out perfectly.

 

I had done the same in my IS300 (same baffle/speakers) initially till I got a tool I could make wooden baffles out of. Works pretty well.

 

yup..i resused the stock tweeter to mount my front tweeter to. looked a little ghetto, but once the door cover was back on, couldn't tell.
