When I got my car I noticed the part of the rear deck where the speakers are supposed to fit was all ripped up and left with uneven and jagged metal like someone ripped the speakers out once with a claw hammer!

Is there any way I could fix this so I could get my speakers to sit securely? They're on there using like maybe 1 screw. I would like to fix this to make it all look much neater.

Thanks

 

Find a new rear deck

 

You could always get some mdf wood, maybe 1/4" or 1/2" and fabricate a new mounting ring that gets fastened to the sheet metal and the speaker mounts into it.
Then silicon the edges/gaps where they meet

Someone has installed larger then OEM speakers there at some point,[and did a **** poor job of it ]

A MDF panel will work , but use 3/4" or 1" , the 3 main rules for mounting speakers are 1- mount speaker to flat surface

2- have airtight seal between front and back of speaker

3- mass, the more mass the speaker is mounted to the better

A flat surface will keep speaker from "twisting" , airtight seal will help power handleing and frq.responce [lower -3db point], mass makes speaker more efficient,[ if the whole speaker can move backwards when cone is driven forward you are wasting power], also a speaker mounted to wood, will always sound better then a speaker mountad to sheetmeta.

hope this helps 94l

 

thanks for the replys everyone...

Is it possible to just switch them? Does it even come out at all?
