OKAY SO, I removed my Door Panel



And to my amazedment I found mud all over my speaker, which gave me more reason not to go mudding anymore; but thats not here nor there, lets continue on the other pic.



So, after thinking of where to install the speaker I realize it wouldn't have a screen. But I figured that some how crazy would get the best part of me and I would have to just perforate a bunch of holes to create my own screen. But from the corner of my eye I spotted the leftover screen from my radiator grill I just created, refer to thread: https://www.f150online.com/forums/ge...ard-right.html
I cut a piece of it:



And as I was cutting it my brain kept on working, I guess you'd call it thinking and once again from the corner of my eye I saw this ABS clean out fitting:



At the same time I also spotted a can of hilti foam insulation



I then took all three and prepare them together



Then smashed the wire inside the fitting with the hilti can



I removed the can and look what I got



A speaker screen





Even though I still ended up fabricating my own screen, crazy still got the best part of me and I made the million't hole on my truck.





Then I finally installed the CB Radio Speaker







Tomorrow or some other time I'll be repeating the same steps for this side.

That use to be my camera set up at one point in time but I dropped one which I used for recoding my suspension and I think it caused a short on my hard drive so I don't use it anymore. I switched to this system. https://www.f150online.com/forums/ge...era-mount.html

You can get gray ones at an electrical supply house- they use them in commercial buildings. Same color as the gray pvc pipe or boxes.

Really Cool stuff
The outlets are not white, they are grey



The same grey as the air conditioning vents, see it is even smiling for you, "I am grey just like my cousin the receptacle. "



"Yeah Me too "



"Look at how we match we are the same color "
