What tool to use to cut Plastic
 
specifically, the back of the speaker basket in my 95 civic.

also, it seems that my car uses 6.5" for the front , would i be able to fit a 5.25??

a box cutter swiss army knife leatherman? and you u made a bracket it will fit.

tiger_handheld 08-24-2009 07:28 PM
really a knife? i was thinking maybe a dremel tool or something...

a bracket? i was gonna bolt it down by 1 or two screws... :| - bad idea?

murd0c 08-24-2009 07:39 PM
glue it down? that would work, and if you have a sawzall that would prob work the best actually

Get a Dremel Multimax. Instead of a needle tool, it uses a fan-type blade that oscillates really quickly and cuts through thick plastic quick. Home Depot sells them.

Band saw.......... takes seconds.

Metal blade (obviously made of steel, but the one used for sawing metal, not wood) from Home Depot.

Or................................ a hacksaw.

only you! can punch a "whole" through it, im not strong enough ;)



Plan A - the stupid speaker fits without any mods
Plan B - rent a dremel tool n try a DIY
Plan C - take it over to soundgood n call it a day ..

grab a knife heat it up. it'll cut right through that basket like butter. i've done this way for all the civics i've worked on.
