September 6, 200916 yr Author After looking at some build logs I saw someone using a PVC cap as a tweeter mount. I've decided to take the idea as I dont want to take the time and money to do the fiberglass I was originally thinking of. So I went to the hardware store picked up the supplies, and after $5 and 10min I had this.Resized to 100% (was 1024 x 768) - Click image to enlargeStill need to hit them with some paint and then mount them.With a tweeter mounted in one.

September 14, 200916 yr Author Thanks guys, I can't take credit for it though as I pulled it from a build log on another forum. I need to figure a way to tighten up the passenger side though as I drilled the hole a little big and it keeps tilting down. I put a nut on it but cant get it tight enough, was thinking about trying to hit it with some hot glue.

September 14, 200916 yr Author That could work in conjunction with the nut that is on it, but the nut adds some depth to it and it is hitting the a pillar and pushing out the panel a little bit. If I could find a different nut that might work, hmm might be time to stroll around the hardware store. Thanks.

Thanks.You could take the nut to a belt sander and make it thinner, to keep it from hitting the pillar.
