Bad-Fitting Cab Corner Speaker Enclosures

[damnyankee36]

Does anybody have a recommendation to a set of better fitting speaker enclosures? Here's what I am dealing with at the moment:

They fit well on the sides but they're a few inches too short and don't match the angles of the cab and floor. I could bend the bottom angle section a bit more for a better fit there but that would lower it to the point of having probably a 2" gap at the top.

Are the ones out there all the same? I got the cheapest set on eBay so maybe that's a clue...

A member here makes them.

His last response to the thread was on 04-27-2022 .

He does have a website mentioned at Post #722.

I will post both links below.

Link to sale thread: https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=476976

Link that is in post# 722 of 1st link: https://73-87.com/Parts/6772SpeakerB...20Brackets.htm

Hope this helps.

Haha, like you I probably bought mine from the same seller on eBay and you're right, they fit like garbage and the set I bought were .125" thick steel so bending or reshaping them isn't worth the hassle. Lesson learned I suppose. i just wish I had saw the link Getter-Done posted first and it may have saved me some trouble as that configuration looks amazing.

Hopefully these are still available?

The website is still active.

Yeah, that's what I get for paying less than $20 for them. The listing had a picture of them installed but it appears to be the 73 and up install. My bad for not questioning that.

You could easily add foam board to the back to fill the gaps. Then cover the entire piece with speaker cover material and the results would look professional.

I bought a set from Big Block73 years ago and installed them last year. They fit like a glove.

That was very first thought, "how can I modify this to work"? But, I am drawing the line this time. I'm tired of "making things work." I do it with more than 50% of the repro parts out there.

How do they look with the seat installed? How much do you even see?
