Default 6x9 Rushmore lid choices?

Ok, one of my JL speakers has blown, and the amazon person says it's only 90d warranty through him, JL won't honor warranty because amazon isn't authorized dealer,, SOOOOOO I can do my 6.9's now! I forget who has the adapter for the 14 ^ lids and what very affordable Pioneer speakers everyone was so excited about for the price,, I'll run those for a while if they give out maybe go to something else. My JL 5x7 is silent, unless I reach in from underneath and touch the cone with a little pressure, then it tries to play.

The adapters are from Vtwin Audio. Many are now running Pioneer TS6900's

Hi Jim, I just got and did the 6x9 brackets from Vtwin. They work great a nd look quite nice. When I ordered them I didn't realize I needed to cut the existing basket out of the lids with a dremel and 12-14 plastic cutting wheels. It's messy and it takes some time but it's well worth it upon completion. Good luck

I have part of my basket cut out already for my 5x7's I ran, (BT then the JL's,, both much bigger magnets than the HD 5x7's.. so it's just a matter of taking them the rest of the way out! LOL...

Once you get the basket looking like this picture, you just have to get things flush for the V-Twin adaptors. Run a small bead of silicone for a water tight finish.

Crutchfield has them for the same price, and very good reviews. Will be looking forward to the video.

Yea, I think that's where I found them to begin with, then I googled. These have the two 12x12" Rock Mat, not sure where the application will go on these,, but either way it's something extra for them. LOL....

I see. The Rock Mat is probably intended for installing the 6x9's on the rear deck in a car.
