You're definitely going to end up seducing a safelite guy.

My local glass guy wont do it, safelite wants to charge full price, as if they were supplying the glass. I may end up having a go at it myself, worst that can happen is safelite has to replace it anyways if i damage it.

Dude you are crazy. Taking the front glass out of these cars is a BITC*.
I know, I have had two put in. Paint damage, broken clips on the A-pillars you name it. If you really must do it, have a no SHI* professional take it out (one that has done a 370Z before), they will likely break that glass too. Then have the same guy put in a new one. |

My intention is to make a custom mount in the dash location for a midrange driver that is larger than the factory grill, so there will be a good deal of modifications made to fit them in, and possibly custom grills as well. I need room to get my gorilla hands in there to perform the surgery. I am also aware of the possibilty that the windshield MAY have to be removed if the need to replace them arises. I am working on that design snafu. I am willing to go through this to make these mods. I never said I was rational, or sane.

Well, From the looks of it you may have to budget for a replacement windshield. Your caught between a rock and a hard place. But you already know that your less painful $$ option is to simply place those speakers elsewhere Good Luck! EDIT: I don't think there's a DiY made for such a thing here, But there's always Youtube for basic directions Last edited by Trips; 06-01-2018 at 09:35 PM. |

Are you putting new speakers in the dash or just relocating your old ones? |

New speakers. Pre ordered a set of Stereo integrity M3 midranges. I hope to have them in hand soon.

Really?? do you think it would be that much easier?
I've never done one before, but to ME that seems like a daunting task. Bear in mind I'm over 50, Shoulder replaced, Knee replaced, round in the middle, so I don't bend and stretch like I did 20 years ago... Lol Don't get me wrong, I'm not afraid to attempt nearly any task, and am quite mechanically inclined, so maybe I'll look into that route.

If you pull the dash, you could build enclosures for your speakers and get the most out of them. I think you should do it! And you should also put together a DIY so I can do the same thing later on when I finally decide on my "final" set of mid-ranges.
