Cinquecento/Seicento Custom Rear Speaker Build for Cinquecento

Its time to prepare the boards for the speakers....
Next take the speaker/s you intend to fit and either using the template that comes with them, or the speaker itself draw the position you want them on the cut out. Bear in mind, that you need to leave an edge around the board to fit it back in the car, and that the speaker must clear the metalwork around the fuel filler on the drivers side of the car. Once you are happy with the position, you can then cut the speaker mounting hole. The easiest way is to drill ahole in the middle of the area and using a jigg saw cut out towards the diameter and then carefully cut the circle out. Or drill holes all around the diameter of the circle and then use a hacksaw to "join" the dots together untill the centre falls out. Next, using the rasp file and sand paper, prepare the hole for the speaker.
If you want to fit a tweeter also, use the same technique, or use a hole cutter, but to almost the same size as the tweeter, so it will be a tight push-fit.

This is the point where if you wish, you can give the boards a good coat of varnish. I recommend it as it will stop the wood from swelling in damp conditions, or where the rear windows leak!
