Thanks to forum member "TheKomoman" for building such a great product and thanks so much to everyone that helped us sell out the original sets of speaker installation plates! Now that they're gone it's time to make some more. they're setup on the machine and running so we thought you might like to take a look at the machining.

A couple of videos too:

These are the ultimate in speaker mounting

CNC Machined C6 and C5 Door Speaker Mounting Plates, developed and professionally made by member "TheKomoman". I am honored to be the sole vendor for the long awaited product.

So you're looking to upgrade the speakers in your C6 / C5 or Z06 and you need a way to mount an aftermarket driver in the stock openings. You could use plywood and make the shape yourself, but if you're really into audio then you'll be concerned that wood will absorb moisture and may not be stiff enough to get the most out of the drivers you just dumped a TON of money on.

We have exactly the what you need, an exact fit, CNC machined mounting plate made of 5mm (approx 0.205") thick high pressure canvas phenolic laminate. This premium material is extremely dense which makes it very moisture resistant and also very stiff, ready to handle hardest hitting drivers.

The C6 set consists of 4 pieces, 2 each for the 10" sub opening in the door and 2 for the 3.5" midrange mount in the door panel. Rhe C5 set is one piece.

The 10" has a 143mm (5.625") hole that is offset 1/2" down and over, to maximize the exposure of a driver to the door panel grille. The 143mm (5.625") hole will accommodate almost any 6.5" driver, but check the driver’s specs to make sure the speaker will pass through the opening and rest on its frame. The 3.5" plate has a 46mm (1.811") hole to accommodate many aftermarket tweeter pods.

All you need to do is drill holes to mount your specific speaker. The material will hold screws better than wood so you can use self-tapping screws for mounting or drill through for the a clip or nut on the back side.

These plates fit all C6 and C5 models - coupe, convertible and yes, Z06!

Pricing:
Standard 6.5" 2-way configuration: $50.00

C5
Now the C5 can have the same quality speaker mounting plates that the C6 guys have named the best mounts available. The plates are made from very rigid 1/4" canvas phenolic high pressure laminate, often referred to as just Phenolic, or Ryertex or Garolite. The expense of the material and the hi-tech machining would exceed twice the price if you had to have these built. The material is sanded on both sides, which makes it easy to paint them trim black so they are practically invisible through the grill.

The plates are setup for a 6.5" 2-way component set with a 143mm
(5.625") hole for the midbass driver and a 46mm (1.8") hole for
mounting a tweeter. For those that mount the tweeter elsewhere, the
space above the midbass can be used for the crossover instead.

Holes are pre-dilled to match the mounting pattern of the door, so all
you have to do is drill the pattern for whatever speakers you're
installing(pilot drilling STRONGLY recommended!).

Some of you guys probably know me from other forums but I'm new 'round these parts. I've been making these plates for a couple of years now and use them myself. I'm happy to answer any questions either here in the thread or drop me a PM.

That would have been nice to have, when my speakers were replaced they had to make them on the spot.
