Any chance you have a link ? I clicked on your screen name and went to your posts , 6 pages but I didn't see the one about speakers . Maybe I missed it . For whatever reason I just don't like the idea of using epoxy to hold the speakers in . I guess I need to tear into it and go from there . Thanks

BRAN the pictures are very helpful thanks. So you were able to bend/crimp the speaker mounting tabs so they are tight and don't vibrate ? Looks very clean .

Now that I am looking at the pics on my computer vs. my phone I can see that BRAN did not crimp the speaker tabs he trimmed them to match the diameter of the speaker frame . Clever use of foam to isolate from vibration . Thanks guys
