Saw this in Brisbane today.

Looks like a good homemade one or crap factory one.

Wolfie,

Car is registered to 6/05 in Qld. Thanks for your concern though lol.

The bit of paper is a Fraser 4WD permit. Been there since January. I might scrape it off one day. Looking at it just brings back so many good memories :-)

a couple of empty xxxx tinnies, tube of silicone, tube of liquid nails, bit of toily paper = ace home snorkel actually. You heard it here first - don't forget that.
(xxxx tinnies must be used as they consist of a superior aluminium).

"they consist of a superior aluminium"

They'd need to schevchenko since they don't have anything else "superior" in them! LOL

G'day Utemad,
It looks good to me. Looks pretty much factory.

Is it made of ABS plastic?

Also, Love the blu-tac look on ya tweeters mate. ;-)
Do you have the fastening brackets that fit onto the back of em and the plastic moulds that give them different angels etc?

I used Araldite to fasten a pair in one of the work ute the other day. It had been attached with double sided tape for years and the tape gave up the ghost.

Alex,

Didn't now you could get a factory one. It did have the Forester name on it but it just looked all rippled and dodgy. I wouldn't spend my money on it if it was a factory one. Not sure what it was made out of but it looked plasticy.

Those tweeters were put there with blue tac 3 years ago. It worked so well I never worried about fitting them properly. I can angle them anyway I want :-) It is actually Yellow Tac as the Blue Tac used to melt in the Brissie heat. Yellow stuff has never had a problem.
I do have plastic angle mounts that came with them but not the custom pods. Did in my last car but never bothered in the Rodeo.

Used to do car audio for a job. One of those things like a mechanic with a crappy car or builder with unfinished house.

See ya.
