ya, the cutting boards were $2.50 or less each at target.

Had to double them up to get the thickness I wanted, but 3/4" HDPE at tap plastics would have been a shit ton more expensive.

Something else to consider, I sanded them a bunch to get rid of the texture.

Nice. I've thought about using those type of cutting boards. As they're not a ridiculously hard plastic, though they are. They don't flex but they don't crack either, so they're perfect for cutting and drilling. The exact plastic you'd want for speaker adapters.

Make your own out of plastic, that way the water doesn't kill it.

Its also stiffer than MDF. (a good thing)

Don't forget to seal the door, and add some non hardening modeling clay

I made my own for my Tundra. It wasn't hard at all as long as you get the pattern down. They don't have to be pretty either.
