		<description>&lt;p&gt;Should the forum thread I started be down, the post reads:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;I wanted to use my existing speakers rather than spend money on news ones. After thinking about how I could get them in, I decided to head down to Home Depot and pick up a sheet of galvanized sheet metal for roofing. I cut out four strips approximately .75&quot; x 2.75&quot;. In each end I drilled a small hole, and bent the strips twice, .75&quot; from each end. I then snipped off a little extra length from the outside edge of each hole.

When I was done, I had four &quot;brackets&quot;. One end of these I attached to the old speaker mounts using the old hardware. I then took 1/4 screws and put them in the other end of each bracket, and secured the new speakers using these longer screws.

The install went smooth enough, and didn&#039;t require me to cut the dash, screw into the fiberglass, or otherwise modify anything already in the car. The top edge of the tweeters in the speakers I used sit close to the dash, and though the speakers aren&#039;t flush, the sound quality is still good, and much better than the old stock speakers.

The only tools I used were a drill, a socket wrench for the nuts, a pair of scissors with which to cut the sheet metal, and a pair of pliers to bend the metal. Total cost: less than a dollar. Much better than spending another 30-60 dollars on new speakers.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
