In-dash speakers

[Dothang67]

Im trying to figure how to mount two 4" speakers where the factory speaker was located. I have seen a pair of pics of this, but I measure the distance between the bolts that will hold the speakers and doesnt seems that they could fit well (one next to another).

For the guys who have done it, did you modified those bolts? or did you simply use smaller speakers?

Thanks

i used 3 1/2's and they fit better.

I bought a 4' 10 traced the outline then went to s&W Plastics and bought some scrape 3/8' plastic and made a tray. Works great.

I can made them fit, but I cant center them in the speaker opening. When I was working on this I found that those bolts can be removed, I thought they were welded; now I can try something else

Another quick audio question,
when you cut the radio bezel (67 model without console) to fit a DIN stereo what do you take as a template? The stereo trim doesn't sit completely in the bezel wall.

I broke out a dremel and CAREFULLY trimmed the chrome lip on the bottom to clear the trim on the radio. When the radio is in you don't even notice. It was only about 1/16 of metal and the trim mostly covers the cut area. I'd also paint the cut part to help camoflage it / prevent corrosion.
