Make your own Scion door speaker mounts

If you want to replace the door speakers in your second generation Scion xB (and most likely xD and tC) you have a few options. You can either buy a plastic mount and wiring harness. You can make your own mount out of new material such as plywood and just solder the wires. Or you can do what I did which is gut the old speakers and use them.

I have a full walk through of my speaker upgrade on my personal site but this instructable only covers how I converted the stock speakers into mounts. I just didn't think I should spend another $30 bucks on adapters when I can use the existing speakers that otherwise had no real value or use.

Step 1: Unsolder the copper leads

This part is really easy. Just flip the speakers over and use your soldering gun to disconnect the copper leads from the wiring harness in the speaker body.
