How to Make Speaker Adapter Brackets - ABS Plastic - CarAudioFabrication

[@johnclark3067]

Using mdf to make a speaker adapter only to use it as a template. Brilliant!

[@elcheapoluzman5380]

i luv how you always go the extra mile to get the best results instead of making it out of abs you used the mdf first to make sure that the final product was the best possible

[@lincoln6981]

Good thing I have these tools and equipment handy 👍 . Sike. . .

[@psementalist]

Excellent video footage thank you Mark for making this video and sharing it on KZbin.

[@danjohnson5114]

Nice to see Rockford has given you some sponsorship

[@DR-ld4jn]

That abs is gonna swell!

[@rubenarce4980]

csl no it's gonna twist lol

[@shibbi972]

it looks it was made for it

[@FinnnAndJake]

csl I'm so confused. Why do people keep saying that?

[@DR-ld4jn]

FinnnAndJake check out soundmanCA on KZbin and you'll see

[@marcmathes41]

explosion! Party all the time....... cue hoff on floor with cheeseburger.

[@rjallenbach1]

These videos are great but not very useful for average DIYers who are installing at home in a garage work space. Can you possibly add content or make alternative suggestions for people who are limited to basic hand tools and smaller work spaces? Otherwise I love your videos and they’re still are great learning lessons emphasizing doing things the right way

[@christophermeraz-mata]

Can you show us how to make angled speaker adapters to point the drivers closer to our ears? Most drivers are pointed towards our knees and that is unacceptable.

[@indopleaser]

so cool again learning how to do this stuff. think about how and what to do if owned these tools. mobile solutions is on top of their game

[@oliverreiff777]

if I remember correctly.... the OEM grill can be shimmed outwards quite a ways, allowing plenty of clearance for the tweeter on the coaxial speaker. Mark's ABS adapter plate will shim the grill outward a little bit as is, 1/8th in. or 3/16th in. whichever thickness he used. just C/A glue a couple more small washer size pieces of ABS to the top of the ears on the speaker ring adapter. just check first how far the OEM grill can be shimmed outwards before the edge can be seen. 😉

[@CarAudioFabrication]

What's up early notification squad?!

[@raaaaff]

soooooooo...... when are you gonna drop a punch(gottum) line for Doug XD

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Just wait, patience my friend. :)

[@marcmathes41]

boom shock a lock a! sorry nba jam's was the best.

[@rossrockey4803]

4 years late. I have some catching up to do

[@angelaraiza1988]

you mak this look so easy.

[@jesuspadilla6428]

Angel Araiza it's fairly easy if you have all the right tools. I wish I had the space to build a workshop like this.

[@TheCrytone]

The SoundMan should watch this.

[@TubbyPuddyProduction]

#thesoundman @thesoundman lol

[@Trianglebestvideo]

Nice video quality, clean and clear!

[@pinarellorider9023]

This dude's vids are freakin awesome!

[@jettback5073]

Been working on 60's cars with the 4 x 8 speaker under a metal grill cut in the dash. I would love to see how you would tackle a project like this. There are a few hacky vids about dual 4" speakers but I know you have a more professional solution.

[@MrJMagoo]

Nice comments guys, guess I'm not the only one that watch Amplified as well as CAF

[@mndlessdrwer]

Have you ever tried using home audio speakers in any of your builds? I know for some unamplified systems, it may be a challenge to power many of those speakers due to the higher impedance they usually have. I'm just curious, since many home audio speakers are comparatively inexpensive for the performance they purport to offer.

[@TheRulleskoejten]

if you are from usa. dont think about expenses so much. you only pay like 5% in tax. im from denmark and we pay 39% in tax

[@alesstorm54]

Very professional 👍

[@dwaynebelgrove9047]

so clean

[@Chad_at_Big_CAT_Networking]

Instructions unclear, smashed the subscribe button, you owe me a new iPad...

[@rudydiaz2488]

Everything looks great I would have vinyl wrap the panels match to sound bar.

[@danielsmith9956]

If there was somewhere I could buy a pair of these I would pay you whatever you wanted 🤣 I’ve tried other adapters that are either too thick or don’t line up quite right and these look perfect

[@srairmand]

Regular folk don't have router machines like you. So how is this useful to us?

[@jerichojoe307]

Ronald De Guzman umm a cheap router can be bought at any home depot for between 99 and 250 dollars and most of the same bits that he uses, if i, being REGULAR FOLK, making less than 20 grand a year, and supporting a family of 4 on that meager income, can afford a router im sure you can find a way

[@MrTimdtoolman1]

As always clean work.

[@kcmann4152]

Mark, what table router are you using? I really want one like that, but I don't know where to get the best price.

[@jasonmyjak5117]

very nice work

[@StockiGTI]

Nice video dude ! Waiting for a Comment of Doug. xD

[@jesuspadilla6428]

so clean, when can I drop off my car for an install????

[@NickRon06]

Jesus Padilla it's gonna take 6 months to get done when u drop it off better off goin to Doug at sound man lol

[@mariohibl7910]

How do you glue abs to mdf? Just with both side adhesive tape or do you use some other glue?

[@paulcabinatan2390]

That ABS is going to twist, crack drop the speaker, the connection is going to fall off the terminal, and light the fumes!

[@theangryinstaller5988]

You da man, man.

[@Trapperjohn1000]

That is gonna have a mushroom cloud explosion for sure

[@raaaaff]

Trapperjohn1000 might ignite the fumes :O

[@tricko2286]

Can I buy these anywhere - dont have the tools to make - thanks

[@rudydiaz2488]

Videos are great!

[@christopherward7005]

can you please look into the Bronco Audio system. There are a few Videos out now, but nothing at your level . I have a 2022 Bronco 2dr Wildtrak incoming without the rear sub, which I will be adding in the Factory location once it arrives. Your input would be greatly appreciated!

[@xcessdj]

great work! awesome.

[@djcharlee2005]

6 videos a month? Your buddy Doug is knocking out 6 videos a week lol

[@Anonymous-cu8eu]

Not hard to make a video a day when 98% of the content is mom jokes and talking bad about others. I know critical thinking is hard for some but Mark’s videos actually complete a project and are completely filled with info. Obviously a project video takes much more effort than 10 minutes of messing around and talking trash.

[@djcharlee2005]

Bradon Bansale you're very right I didn't think of it that way lol

[@lawrencesherman8822]

How thick is the ABS? Would 1/4” be enough?

[@strongbad2795]

Good thing you didn't use MDF on the final piece or it would have swelled, caused the speaker to spark, and ignite the fumes *EXPLOSION GIF*.

[@CarAudioFabrication]

KABLAMMMMM!

[@ryandrzewiecki2467]

Mark, teach your buddy Doug how to keep swell!! hahaha

[@sandeepbhandal7880]

Boom Shaka Laka 🤙

[@liveyourbestlife3785]

Those plastic rings are going to swell XD

[@perry677]

Can you make us a bracket for replacing the Subwoofer in the Toyota Camry with JBL 9” subwoofer? The sub has no kick and we want to replace it with a 8” Toyota has left us high and dry. PS after you make it i want to buy it! Thank you

[@bruth6138]

What happens if you drive your truck in an acetone lake. That ABS is going to melt. MDF may swell but it won't melt. *Nuclear explosion clip

[@dnrink44]

As much as I hate trolls and or troll like comments.... This is so true... And it could happen... Good point... Lol. KUDOS!!!

[@RafaGmod]

I really think the ABS gonna twist

[@Emboss8659]

Is there anything wrong with drilling holes in the metal and mounting? Do u really need a bracket?

[@kendrickray7827]

And will the adapter allow you to still use your window

[@northwiebesick7136]

So... i have 2 6x8 speakers for Ford, hooked up to a car radio I'm building an older-style boombox with... but... i wanna get some speaker grills for them... unfortunately, I can only find 6x9s online... my question is, can you use a 6x9 grill on a 6x8 speaker???

[@justlooking12ish]

I have a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GT and I ordered JVC 6.5 but the front openings is 5 1/4, how would you make it fit? Do you have a video already that you could send me a link to?

[@yankeeezilla403]

What size are those crimp terminals??

[@Jm4c93]

Watch for swelling Mark....I mean Doug 😁

[@jasonsullivan6815]

What if I don’t have the factory bracket? I want to make one but don’t have that bracket in my 2016 Toyota Corolla. Thanks

[@corvettekid3791]

Where do you get your abs?

[@codyheizler7619]

Crunches and dieting 😏

[@700up700up]

If this was inside of a door, could you just use wood instead of adding the abs?

[@CarAudioFabrication]

No, you should never use MDF in a door, unless swollen rings that fall apart and sound horrible is your thing.

[@ChrisWebre]

Where can I find circle templates?

[@momtazularefin]

I want to upgrade my front door 4 inch factory speakers with 6.75 inch JL Audio C2 650x. I am ready to embark any customization and modification. I also want to install the same new speakers to the rear door where there is no previous factory speakers installed. Can anyone point me any professional/DIY resources to achieve this?

[@em2965]

have you made any changes to the front speaker pods? I noticed you put a lot of work into the sound bar, was wondering what you think of the front woofer enclosures. I added a set of alpine SPR components in the front of my friends Jeep and they sound odd in the enclosures

[@budwieners8679]

Anyway to make a 4x6 adapter to fit a 6.5" slot?

[@andersnelson6464]

oh yeaaa boom shaka-laka

[@Meatpopsicle2050]

You’re awesome. Thanks for everything you do. You should do a production run of these and sell them on eBay. If you’ve already got the dims and template, just do a bunch and make a little cash on them. I bet there are a quite few people that would buy em. Super easy and quick to produce.

[@zaidjaxton125]

i know I am quite off topic but does anybody know of a good place to watch newly released movies online ?

[@terrancearyan141]

@Zaid Jaxton Flixportal :)

[@zaidjaxton125]

@Terrance Aryan thanks, I went there and it seems to work :) I appreciate it !!

[@terrancearyan141]

@Zaid Jaxton Glad I could help :D

[@mustang351c4]

Is there any reason I couldn't use sheet steel? I have plenty of steel, but no ABS plastic.

[@xXIBON3ZIXx]

Mustang351c Viration.

[@kendrickray7827]

Do you have one for a 2007 ford expedition Eddie Bauer el? I would like change my 6x8's out to 6.5's... and should I purchase 6.5 components for the front doors and 6.5's in the rear doors....thanks

[@BadRonald1]

Same here for my 09 Explorer. Ive tried Amazon adapters and sent them back as the adapter didn’t fit my standard 6.5 speakers.

[@Primo956tx]

How much to do a 6.9 adapter to a 6.5 front door and the rear 5.25 to a 6.5 rear door Dodge Ram 1500 2008

[@f.adamrios786]

Have you thought about selling these?

[@lilgab0y]

Do you sell the adapters?

[@albertgriffin873]

hey mark show me how to make 6by9 adapter

[@ckproper]

Can I buy these speaker adapters from you? I don't feel like making them.

[@sketch472]

Doug said use MDF..haaa

[@LasseHuhtala]

How's your new IKEA kitchen treating you?

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Pretty good! It takes me less than 15 episodes to install a speaker now!

[@t33s]

Waiting for Doug's comment.

[@Des420]

The hand up his ass that moves his mouth is sick...

[@MrSpanky473]

That aint how Dougy would've done it.

[@CarAudioFabrication]

I know, probably would have taken at least 7 episodes. HA!

[@danjohnson5114]

Anybody tried Dougs CT sounds products?

[@BlaroushMeditasi666]

No...it gonna swells and ignite the fumes!

[@jasonjackson329]

Whoa. I bet that one little speaker just cost some jack. Lol all that work for almost 0.00 gain other then saying its solid

[@loveaudio1236]

Clearly you have never heard a before/after of a properly sound treated vehicle. Huge difference

[@TheRulleskoejten]

i got no tools

[@BadRonald1]

Yeah I’ll brake out my router and get to it.

[@xc_4x4]

this must be for the professional and not the DIY'er
