Default Speaker Pods: Used?

Where do people find used door speaker pods? I need to buy them but the price for new ones is more than the components I'm buying, feels silly.

made my own. about $30 in materials and a day or 2 worth of sanding. could do them in a day if you use vinyl.

It can take you a while to find a good used one. And if you give up searching and decide to make your own you would come to realize the price you call
"silly" is actually cheap.

Oh no, I don't mean it's a silly price, I'm saying in comparison to the price of the speakers I'm purchasing. However, I've decided to get better speakers now.

Good. I would strongly advise that when you are able, get some door pods. You would be so glad you did and you get the best out of your speakers investment. Some would argue against it because they have not had the chance to try them. I am not saying they are absolutely needed. They make a huge difference. I did not like the price so I set out to make my own. Glad I did but if I had to do it again I would rather pay the 300.00 price. Too much work if you want to do it right

First you should be able to remove the door panels. Read here. (03-05 models are similar)

Then a few pics here to give you an idea:
