Where to buy 8" cans on the cheap?
 
Need two 8 inch cans but not looking to pay much over 100 dollars. Anyone have any I can buy or know a website. Im fine with modifying 6.5" cans to 8"

Bought mine from BoardersMall.com. I don't see them on their site anymore though. You might give them a call. I will say that mine did not show up in the best of shape. Also they did not come with all the hardware. I contacted them but, never heard anything back. Had to go to the hardware store to get the bolts. They were under $100.

I also got mine from boarders mall - mine came with all the hardware and were in fine condition. I just had to trim them to fit my speakers.

i went looking around and didn't find any real good deals... i guess you will have to shove them in an 8" PVC pipe... haha... its been done before...

Target sells stainless wastepaper baskets for 19.95 that make perfect 8" speaker cans. All you gotta do is glue in an MDF ring to teh inside, and then figure out how to mount them. We drilled and bolted them through the tower, using thick rubber hose and washers as isolators to keep the vibrations from ratteling things loose. Two seasons and theyre still great. Heres a couple of crappy pictures. Please pardon the appearance as the boat is a work in progress...

I'm mostly impressed with the fact that they have the built in indentation for the subsequent
installation of halogen lamps in the front of the 'cans'.
