Mini Cooper front speaker adapter 165mm

thingiverse

Front door speaker adapters designed specifically for Mini Cooper R50, R52, and R54 models are now available. This adapter allows you to mount a 165mm speaker in all first-generation Mini Coopers, providing a seamless fit that enhances the overall audio experience. After conducting an exhaustive search online, I realized that a similar product was nowhere to be found. Many existing adapters on this site and elsewhere were not designed with the Mini Cooper's unique specifications in mind. To create the perfect adapter, I carefully studied the original shape of the door and recreated it as closely as possible. The result is an adapter that fits flawlessly in my car, ensuring a smooth installation process. The JBL GX600C speakers I installed look and sound amazing when paired with this custom-made adapter. It's essential to use foam sealing gaskets on both ends of the adapter for a perfect seal between the door and speaker. The original factory gasket that came with my Harman Kardon speakers worked perfectly as the gasket between the door and adapter, while the one included with my JBL GX600C speakers was used between the adapter and new speakers. A high-quality gasket with an inner diameter of 144mm and an outer diameter of 166mm would provide a secure seal on both ends.
