RTV X1100 new speakers

[Nevadablue]

I'll be watching too. Sounds interesting. I needs shelves / storage space worse than anything, even speakers. LOL

Me too. The roof is so HIGH, I think that the speaker cabinet could easily become an 'overhead bin' too.

I'm working on an idea for a 'center console' too. My little dawg likes to get as close to the windshield as she can, for better seeing... So, I stood an old metal milk crate, the wire kind, in the middle of the floor and put her blanket on it. Works great, but takes up too much floor space and gives zero extra storage. I am thinking of a small cabinet that will sit in there and serve two purposes and not get in the way.

One of my Winter shop projects is going to be to build a storage bin under the hood. Lot of unused space there with an older 900 model. I can buy a storage bin thru Kubota but it's stupid expensive. I'll build something instead. I'll post a thread when I get around to it.

Another update, I received my material back from being CNC water jet cut and I am ready to start forming and assembling. I hope to do some of them this weekend. Thanks for everyone's input.

I'm getting anxious!!! Can't hardly wait!!!

 

[1HOTDJ]

I know it's the Christmas & New Year but is there any progress or news on the speaker housing?

 

[Toolman77]

They are ready, I am waiting on the mirrors so I can assemble them, they should be here tomorrow. I am also waiting on some boxes so I can ship them in. I will send a pm and let everyone that had interest know how much and get the info for shipping. I am not sure if the postal service or ups will be least costly option.

 

[Toolman77]

Here is a photo of the mirrors. I should have these tomorrow and then I just need to assemble. I will ship these in the same box for those that want the mirrors also.

Sweet looking!!! Great looking mirrors!!!
Are those holes for 6 1/2" speakers?

 

[Toolman77]

Yes the holes are for 6 1/2" speakers, I used Polk DB 651 speakers but I think any 6 1/2" speaker will work. If the mounting hole pattern is different on the speakers you choose you can drill new holes if needed.

 

[1HOTDJ]

Thank You. I'm going to get my speakers ready for install!!!

 

[ZZZ2D1]

They both look excellent. Im in for both from the start.

 

[ovrszd]

Very nice work!!!

 

[DwRam]

Don't need speakers. But I sure like the mirrors. I'm still in for a pair.
Let me know what you need.
Happy New Year to all.

Will the mirror brackets fit a 2012 1100 ? If so I'm interested thank you

 

[Toolman77]

Stacy,
The mirror brackets will only fit the RTV X1100 not the older model.
Thanks for your interest, Tim

Here is a picture of my 2012 RTV1100. They look pretty close.
Any chance you could make a modification? Or I'll buy one bracket and see if I
can make it work?

 

[ZZZ2D1]

Glad that came up, mine is a 2011 RTV1100 same as in the pics above (Hinge)
That means that probably neither of these great project's will work on the older 1100's.
Has anyone validated the fact that the mirrors will not work, the Bolt span/pattern look very close.

Turned out Great. Sound Great too.



Bought this little holder at WalMart. It's got suction cups to hold it to the glass.
