Question

Ok, I have the Tripower 52mm center speaker gauge holder, but I have decided to go with 60mm gauges.

Everything I have read says to drumel out the plastic to make them fit, but I dont want to do that incase they don't fit in depth!

What are my other options? I dont care if its center chanel or A-Pilar, I just need 60mm holders.

Is there any 60mm center chanel or A-Pillar pods on the market?

I think you'll have to "make" them fit either way...

I wont be able too anyways. The lip on the pod is not enough to drumel it to 60mm(there is only like 3mm of extra lip).

Its a brand new gauge holder so id prefer not to wreck it, this way I can sell it to someone that may need it and i can get a 60mm.

why dont you just measure the depth to see if it will fit????



Worse case scenario is you make spacers from plastic or even some

thin black plexiglass so you can put them between the gauge and the pod so you can get the extra depth you need.

Even if they fit in depth, there is not enough lip on the pod to drumel/cut away.

I'd say there is about 3-4mm to play with, which wont be enough.

I think I'll just sell it and try to see if i can get a center speaker pod or an A-pillar in 60mm. Anyone have one?
