Dash midrange / tweeter modification pods Rainbow 3” / Audison 2.1

[Les Korcala]

Since I wanted to set 3 way front stage I started on dash mid/tweeter modification of the plates.
this project requires basic skills of cutting plastic and few handy tools like Power drill , band saw would be handy but not needed.
What I did I left original midrange speaker plate and build 2 footprints with 3” and 1, 3/4” cut outs for mid and tweeter.
I used thin Keydex plastic to create plates.
Love kaydex since is cheap and very moldable and super strong!
As you see in the photos I cut front plate bit shorter to the angle edge of the original plate.
Than i created second plate with ( cut outs ) where 5 clips are
All got sandwiched together with original plate in between and now I can drop my speakers in the holes and tighten with bolts.
Still waiting for 3” mesh covers
I used 3 M double to glue both sides together. I could use screes but driver will hold all together with 4 screws plus thr 3M tape.
Happy how this is turning out so far !
these Rainbow Germanium mids are made in Germany and were 500$ hi end midrange and 1.1 Voce Audison are very nice tweeters it should be great pair up front
The kick panels will get Mille Hertz 6,5” legends , another great Italian speaker car maker

Love to see your progress. I am in process working on kick panel with new rings and patching holes under the speaker wells, so sad they ( Ford ) left holes there under the woofer, but it can be filled with material. Alos starting to build Amps rack its will be placed in please of deleted seats. Would love to ask you what kind of harness you will be using ? I am bit scared of wiring all to head unit , so much can go wring there since we have to use factory unit. In older cars was so easy to switch Head Units and wire all w/o any issues.
