Additional compartment behind speaker grill

Post by SweRT »

Have finished my old mini-project started earlier in another thread
1 No speakers, empty space
[attachimg=2]
2 Two modified plastic boxes + homemade brackets
[attachimg=3]
3 Bolted in the same holes as the speaker
[attachimg=4]
4 Speaker grill opened
[attachimg=5]
5 Speaker grill closed
[attachimg=6]
Result, additional extra storage compartments for various stuff

Let me be the first in line to buy a pair, I've been hoping a genius would step forward and produce a much wanted modification
Thank you in advance

Great work, does the speaker grill just pop off for access to the cavity?

richardbd;
1. Thanks for your credits 2. “things to keep in there…” hmm..for my part I think the need arose before the idea ;-)
Jim;
Sorry, this prototype was for me just another stimulating DIY project and I have no ambition to start any production.
Function OK for me but who knows, maybe you will someday find this modification in a more professional design from some other source with better production possibilities and more eager to do business and profit
Badger;
The grill is held in the grove of the frame by the two remaining tabs and the lock/switch
The two bent tabs works as hooks and the opposite side is held by a modified channel selector Switch with click function which means fixed positions for the lock plate between upright and 90° to the right

I have the speakers (which I never use, prefer speakers in helmet) ... this makes me wish I didn't ... excellent idea and solution !
