For anyone with the 10-speaker audio system

[Darwin]

Darwin, can you give me a safe measurement for this distance?

@Tom 25mm centered on the mounting hole should work!

In a week or so I’ll post picts of what I did on my car
I replaced the tweeters … the stock speakers absolutely suck !!
Very cool thread

Here is a rendering of the front bracket with the suggested changes. What do you think? I got the strong plastic. Print it?

@Tom looks great! I say print it!

[Tom]

Looks just like the rendering! I did this one in the stronger plastic. I'll print another of these and 2 of the rear version and send them off for the exciting conclusion.

Those look like they will fit perfectly!

[Tom]

Done! The new plastic (Grey Pro by Formlabs) feels stronger and the brackets seems sharper to me. I'll clean up the support points a bit on these before sending, and I may print an extra one for stress testing. Once Darwin confirms the fit, I'll post the STL's for anyone who might want them. 3D-printing is a great tool for keeping old cars on the road!

Tom, those look absolutely fantastic! Can't wait to get them and try them out! I also agree that you can tell the difference between the two plastics.

If there is room I will definitely amend the design to use the studs to fasten the speaker. I kind of threw that sketch up from memory as I’m out of state and unable to reference the car or the tweeter. I was planning to use some hot glue should I cut the studs.

In my limited experience, hot glue is not a good option for interior bits. The cabin gets hot enough to soften it, and I end up with pieces that move around. Use real fasteners if you have the option. Makes things easier to disassemble in the future too.

[Tom]

I've never tried it, but have seen high temp hot melt glue?

Darwin, I got caught up obsessing on the print quality and learning new tricks on the Formlabs printer. I didn't like some of the pock marks in my first batch, so redid them using new tricks and must say they rival molded parts. I'll get all 8 out in tomorrow's mail.
