Nice write up. I have to admit I bought the Harvey PNP kit. Your approach looks like it would take more time and require a higher skill level. You also probably experienced a greater feeling of accomplishment.

I forget what I paid for my Harvey kit. (Harvey lives in my area and I didn't have to pay shipping or eBay fees.) I estimate that you using your approach would probably save someone around $100 over purchasing a kit. You would also be able to use the speakers you prefer. Harvey includes the Porsche grills in his kit and has a nice metal mounting plate. However, you really can't look at the speaker grills unless you make a special effort.

One question - Do you thing you could have found a 5.5 inch speaker that would fit in the box? Harvey's kit includes two 3.5 inch speakers on each side, but I wondered if somehow a 5.5 could be made to fit.
