Speaker mounting adapters

Is there a good place to pick up speaker mounting adapters for a 08 toyota tacoma? I have heard that it uses a odd size speaker from the factory and an adapter will be needed to mount 6.5 speakers.

I've never used these adapters nor do I know the reputation of this company but here you go... Tacoma Adapters

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.

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

Those white chucks of plastic... were they cutting boards?

Sure were..

High Density Polysomething E-whatnot plastic

used 2 3/8" boards per side to get a 3/4" adapter. Used some epoxy to hold em together and bolted em tight to the sheet metal on the inner door.

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.
