Default 6 x 8 Speaker Adapters Advice

Need some opinions on a design project of mine that will be up for sale soon in the coming weeks. Should the Trans Am logo be outlined like the Firehawk is?

For anyone wondering, these will be used to mount a 6 x 8 speaker to the hatch speaker panels with no problems whatsoever. My website is BingersCreations.com if you'd like to follow along/learn more otherwise just let me know here if you are interested.

Also, I know this is the Camaro forum. I'm posting here because there will also be Chevy Camaro designs and just getting a consensus on what design looks better will help me with designing the SS, RS, Z28, SLP, and Bowtie variants in addition to the Pontiac ones.

Any other advice is welcome. Many colors will be available.

Thanks!

Default 6 x 8 Speaker Adapters Advice

Hey guys. I posted in the Camaro forum as well but I figured I should post here as well since I can get some good advice here too from us Pontiac bros. I am working on releasing a 6 x 8 adapter for our cars that causes no problems whatsoever. It'll mount in the hatch spot and increase your SPL as well as sound better than any 4" mid and 0.75" tweeter could. Way more cone area with a 6 x 8 than those two combined, especially including a coaxial tweeter in the 6 x 8. Anyways, I hope to get some opinions on which design I should roll forward with for the variants I am making now that the adapter and grill's designs are nailed down after the past month and a half slaving away (lol, literally!).

What do you think, should the Trans Am logo's outline be modeled the same way the Firehawk's outline is?

I included some of the other designs that will also be available since I know I'll get asked about 'em. For anyone interested, my site is BingersCreations.com if you'd like to learn more, otherwise let me know here if you are interested.

Thanks!

Make one, or show us the file with the Trans Am outlined.
6" x 8" leaves me confused tho, ..., I thought they should be 6" x 9".

I got you. Same with the Formulas, TAs, SSs, Z28s, SLPs, Phoenix, RSs, and WS6s too.

I am working on it still. Was having problems last night with the 'Am' in Trans Am. This is what I got so far. I'll get to finishing it after work today. The 'Trans Am' part is a separate part so what's shown is just the die cut.






I think 6 x 9s would be too large. A 6 x 8 is largest I can go. Yes, I know the 6 inch in 6 x 9 is the same as a 6 x 8 but the 6 x 9 I tried fitting into the spot was too large because of its integrated speaker bracket.

Blue is available, yeah. It's this color: https://a.co/d/0twW7ZI

Should resemble the NBM on these cars.

P.S. the product is 98% done.

If the price listed is for a pair, I am definitely interested. Good work.
