Two reasons:

1. I was discussing mold making with munckee on this thread and it got me itching to make something:
http://forums.s2ki.com/forums/showthread.p...threadid=173804
I figured it would be interesting to mold the part.

2. I didn't want wood in my door that lives outside.

I don't present this as a good idea, just an idea.

Way too much un-nessesary work for speaker spacers.......


However,

You had a good time, learned a few things, and did something yourself rather than pay for it. I give you my full respect and credit for that....DIY rules!

I applaud your efforts and thank you for the documentation.
