i wanted more mids and highs

it will be flush with the door panel pretty much.

this is a layout of how its going to be glassed. the top speaker is just holding the door panel down for the pic, lol.

total of 12 6.5's and 12 bullet tweets

 

I wouldn't think there would be enough room in between the seat and door panel to actually make it sound good...

Won't a lot of the acoustics get sucked in and absorbed by the seat? I mean, I can tell a big difference in the sound of my speakers by placing my leg in front of the driverside speaker, and then removing it. Just my opinion, but I'm sure whether it sounds crisp or not, it's going to be loud as hell in there

 

i agree, the speakers are 20 bux each, theyre pretty loud, and theyre clear. its not gonna be a SQ car by any means, im just going for LOUD. the 2 back speakers by the seat you wont be able to hear, i agree, but its more or less just to make it look symetrical, and i dont want to mess with re installing the bottom trim piece that goes around the oval opening of the door panel, ya know?

id rather just make a complete pod along the whole door panel and leave that bottom trim piece off instead of fooling with it trying to get it to look flush or anything with the pod.

also just for at shows to, youll deff hear it when the doors are open

before i was just gonna do the 4 mids and tweets behind me in the wall, but i decided to do this

i gotta notch the inside of the door (the metal) to let the magnet go through a little. i didnt want to, but im going to notch is as little as possible.

 

Gotcha Look forward to the end result

 

going for something like this, but mine will not be all angled different ways like this:

 

Now that looks cool.

 

You may take criticism for the way you do things, and for the brands that you use, but I am glad that you keep taking on these projects. I cannot wait to see how this one turns out. Good luck and keep up the modding!

 

lol ya i know, its all good though. when i get older im sure ill get more into SQ and less into SPL, but who knows, i know people in their 40s still into straight up loud SPL

 

made some cuts. this is just for the speaker magnet to go through so i have enough clearance, so dont think it has to be perfectly even circles, etc.. because the pod will cover this, lol

 

i want to mount a tweet up here like this, i dont know if ill have the depth though, with the window and all.

ill see tomorow.

 

Well, there's no turning back now...

 

i know, im gonna make this one first, if it comes out bad, ill have to get another panel from a junkyard, but i think its going to come out good once i get the fiberglass pod made and mounted on the door (covering it in matching vinyl to match the interior most likely)

i have it all planned out how its going to look though, its just a matter of time, i need to get it made. i think you would look it when im done, i know right now the door looks like ***, but its just for the magnets to clear thru the door

 

Oh I'm sure it'll come out looking good. I was just commenting that you can't decide to not do it now.

 

I cannot wait to see how your pod is going to look. Yes, you are at the point of now return...unless you buy new door panels...

 

haha i know, i waited a few days before i actually hacked into the panel, and i thought it all out to make sure its going to fit. im going to get some router bits today and i should get started on it today!

 

Don't forget about the door pull for the top tweeter that you want to install. That still has to fit in the hole as well. Should all look pretty cool though in the end. Good Luck.

 

Holy God... are you trying to blast some hottie's panties off or something?

 

two thumbs up for the brave one!

Classic

 

^ Now, that is just great!

 

taped up ready to put down a layer of glass for the bottom mold of the pod.



look at the top right corner, should i shape the pod like the red line (rounded) or the blue line (pointed)

 

good luck....

 

Definitely go rounded! Keeps with the curves of the mini.
