Description
This adapter will mount a 165mm speaker in all 1st Gen Mini Coopers.
I decided to create this model after spending endless time searching the internet for a similar item. Many speaker adapters exist on this site and elsewhere but none seem to be designed for a Mini Cooper.
The model was created such that the shape matches the original as closely as possible and the result fits perfectly in my car.
The speakers that I mounted are JBL GX600C.
Make sure you use foam sealing gaskets on both ends of the adapter to ensure a perfect seal between door and speaker. For the gasket between the door and my adapter I re-used the factory gasket that was behind my Harman Kardon speakers I replaced. For the gasket between adapter and new speakers I used the one that came with my JBL GX600C.
A gasket with inner diameter 144mm and outer diameter 166mm would work perfectly on both ends.

Print price estimates
Planning prices for one print, not a final quote. Defaults use a size allowance inferred from the part name, not a measured or sliced model. Filament suitability must be confirmed.
| Filament | USD / print | Application notes |
|---|---|---|
| PLA | $28.50 | Indoor prototypes; not a default material for hot vehicle interiors. |
| PETG | $29.00 | General-purpose candidate; heat and creep need review. |
| ASA | $32.50 | Candidate for UV exposure; verify temperature and geometry. |
| ABS | $31.50 | Enclosed printing; review application and dimensions. |
| TPU | $37.50 | Flexible designs only; not a substitute for rigid materials. |
| Nylon | $37.50 | Moisture, tolerances and application require review. |
| PA-CF | $42.50 | Filled nylon; abrasive filament and fit need review. |
Pricing assumptions and exclusions
USD: ($6 setup + $3 finishing + filament weight × assumed spool cost × 1.25 waste allowance + print hours × $2.50 × material time factor) ÷ 0.65. Rounded up to the next $0.50.
Assumed spool costs per kg: PLA $25, PETG $30, ASA $40, ABS $30, TPU $45, Nylon $65, PA-CF $95. Time factors: PLA/PETG 1.0, ASA/ABS 1.2, TPU 1.6, Nylon 1.4, PA-CF 1.5. These are proposed shop rates, not measured production costs.
Design work, test fitting, hardware, shipping and tax are additional where needed. Multi-file sets may need several prints. Use actual sliced weight and time when available. Final pricing is confirmed in writing.
