DIY: EP3 component speaker install w/ pics

ok i got these speakers for fairly cheap,so i decided to install them.

these are lightning audio speakers that were made by rockford fosgate, and retailed for about 500 buck a while ago.

i need to get some pics of the tweeters i did those about a week ago, i just cut the hole untill they fit and then put alot of hot glue around the back to hold them in place, but ill post some pics later

door pannel( sorry for the blurryness)

mock up on the speaker. easyiest way to mount:drill hole thru wood and metal ,about 3, then install screws countersink them a little bit so they dont stick out, then put your speaker in and screw it down
