Default Speaker baffles/brackets L/R

Is the left speakers bracket/baffle (in the doors), the same as the right?

I'll be making custom mounts, and need to know if I can just pull the pass door and use that as a template for both..

Thanks!

No you will need to use two templates.
Use the left for the left template and use the right for the right template.
They are marked with a 'L' and an 'R' if I remember correctly

So much for trying to save a step.

I'm going to use 1/4" MDF or plywood for the bracket. I want to mount the speaker from the bottom (or inside of the door). That should give some extra clearance between the grill and the woofer.

Oh sorry, yeah you are right I just went to the garage and checked they are mirror. They are marked right and left. Butt if you are making templets doesn't matter. If you order stock ones there is a right and left.

all i can say is i used the passenger side as a template to make both my flat mdf baffles and they both fit fine. (although i guess i should explain i screwed the driver one on from the reverse side of the passenger.)

Very nice!

Is that 1/4" or 1/2" mdf?

You using nuts and bolts to hold it in place or just speed clips with sheet metal screws?

Got a pic of one with the speaker installed?

Thanks
