help! cut out door speaker grills
Hi everyone,
I wanted to cut out the speaker grills in the car. I've replaced them with aftermarket speakers but the speakers seem to touch the door panel when there's too much bass.
Any suggestions on what to use to cut them out? I plan on replacing the stock grills with the ones I received from my speaker manufacturer.
A friend of mine recommending an air saw but going at $200 so I can just use it once seems a bit too much.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Are you talking about this?
I'm not sure but is it possible to get the tool as an attachment for my drill? I'm still new to the tool world.

that's the right tool -- the dremel.
as for an attachment for your drill, i'm sure there are options. one of the things that makes the dremel so handy though is that you can hold it kinda like a pen, and get the exact angle/cut you want. they're cheap enough, and are handy for all kinds of things. you can get them at target even.
after you get one you'd be surprised at how much you use it for random around the house jobs

Not in Japan. People here don't really have tools unless you're in the business.
That's $100 easy. i guess no choice for an item i'll use just once.
took the plastic ring off and trimmed the honeycomb thing. still hitting the panel.

It's very weird that your speaker is coming out that far just for some bass... are they mounted solid are you sure the sound you are hearing is not front the mount moving in and out when the bass hits?
Did you amp the after market speakers? I have had mine replaced almost since it was brand new in 2007 and Ive never had them hit the door panel.

I have a black and decker cordless drill. Can anyone recommend an attachment that would make this job easier? I've yet to see a hole saw for a drill that cuts out 165mm (or 6.5")

I think it's the spacer I put in. If it was a simple aftermarket speaker, I wouldn't have had a problem. The focals I have take up a bit more room overall.

I agree with drilling a starting hole and hand sawing it out, that is the next thing I would suggest unless you can google for an attachment for your drill or something... Hand sawing just sounds like the cheapest way and I'm assuming you can find one that will work..?

I guess it's time to buy some masking tape, make the circle and cut it out. Probably a good idea to sand it after too.

You used a Dremel tool? Got any pictures of how it look of just the hole?
