$50 would make it worth my time.
it must be a empi product with how big of a pain it was

is it cut right now for the 5.25" and you want to go to 6x9" or were you talking of a different panel?
there are some really good deals on speakers right now and i was able to get some great sound (kenwood of course) for pretty cheap on this build
and out of respect and to keep things organized, please find my stereo instal thread in "for sale" section to continue this conversation.

(just make sure to quote it so i know what we are talking about)
