hey your back!

Prevet!

I just replaced my rears with the boston sl65 i coaxials I was telling you about a month ago. They sound great.

Just need a 1" mdf spacer for the back. Not a hard install at all.

you just buy a sheet of mdf at home depot.

Then use the rear oem speakers as the stencil

Cut your holes it won't be 6 1/2" it will be something smaller. the ID of the hole should be on the speaker specifications.

Then attach the MDF spacer to the door.

Then attach your speaker to the mdf spacer.

Let's see if I can find a pic for you.
