When I made the spacers for joerckt, my first set for the TSX, I used Home Depot particleboard... they shattered when I was screwing them in, and I had to make another set.
The photos in that thread show 1/2" birch plywood and 1/4" tempered Masonite from Home Depot - they sell 2x2 and 2x4 sheets. I drill pilot holes and countersinks. I also spray-paint them black to make sure they don't absorb moisture over time and swell up - and to make them look better and get black stuff all over my fingers...

most people wont take that much time, but that will be how to do them exactly right

Thanks! You know, I used the OEM speaker diameter and drew the outside circle with a compass I had, and the inside circle was the inside of the Alpine spacer grille ring... so it really didn't take long - 'cept the painting and maybe the drilling.
But after that ring came apart in my hands at like 10PM in joe's garage, I knew I didn't want THAT ever happening again. That sucked the blood alcohol out of me so bad I needed a beer to keep from being negatively sober.
I wish I had included some pics of the rear of the door panel in this thread - there are some in my TSX F door thread - so you can see the foam that these spacers snug up against from behind.

Thanks man. Yeah we do....we need a baseball or football team. They are gonna build a new NBA arena in downtown though...That will be tight!
Tixs are way too hard to get...I got some because of a friend of a friend of a season ticket holder. You can check Ebay for tix but of course you'll be paying more than face value.
