Description
There are two adapters: one for the boxes in the doors, and another for the speakers in the dash.
Boxes: Installation is relatively straightforward. Disassemble the boxes, then cut the wires to the old speaker and knock it out with a hammer. Mount new speaker to plate to box. Solder wires to the new speaker, reassemble and you're good to go.
Dash: This is a bit more annoying. You'll have to gut the original speakers and keep the plastic ring that makes up the basket. Glue the print in somehow (I used superglue), then screw the speakers into the bracket. I cut off the old connector and attached terminals to the wires, then connected those to the speakers. Once that's in, the replacements should just click in place of the old ones.
Rear: You don't need any adapters for these. Regular 4x6 drivers should fit in just fine.
Installed on a 1992 Volkswagen Passat GL wagon. Note: the print in the photos had the holes spaced incorrectly. This has been fixed.

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.
