So are you gonna be glassing the door panels or just going with a flat panel?

The others have been dealt with as well...

Kelly Girl, Xbook and all the others that have continued to drag this over from Nuts also need to stop. If y'all can't add anything constructive don't add anything. Strikes have been issued.

I hate doing this, all y'all's are over 12 years old. Stop acting like a bunch of children please.

Great update pimp!

Just ignore the xbook and Kelly Girl, I want to see this finished and see you on here for a while...not get banned...

I thought this was all in good fun and then it went down hill....

So is the wall pretty much done now other than covering it?

When its all done your car is going to be nothing but speakers

I had forgotten all about the door panels...

the doors will be black vinyl like the back of the wall. covering the whole dash with black vinyl too, with suede accents.

the steering wheel is gonna be the worst thing as far as getting covered goes...doing black vinyl, and the airbag cover will be suede.

seats are going all black suede.

carpet is going black

everything else is prettty much covered, except the console, etc, which will be suede or vinyl, i might make a new console.



basically, everything in the car will be black.

This build is crazy...any thought on reinforcing the windows/windshield? Will the windows be safe even rolled down into the doors with all those mids? There are going to be some unhappy bypassers and get used to the sound of car alarms

Finish this ish by summer, I want sound bytes n a dB meter

A list of 'Heavy Hitters'
-Little Jon - Throw It Up (I set off car alarms w/ a 10")
-DMX - Lord Give me a Sign
-Trick Daddy - Bet That

Bumpin' any of these, with that power will surely cause havoc

i'm fairly sure that, with all those tweeters, you will have no eardrums left
that's a lot of speakers. you might need to start working out to be able to open your doors with all that weight

i really like how this is coming out, especially since this is the first attempt at making panels. we will see how it comes out when i glass it!



the lower circle, in the blue pen, is around where the stock door handle would pop out.

the blue permanent marker circle is where it WILL be.



pretty damn straight and lined up, some of the tweets are off by like a 16th or less of an inch, but to the eye it all looks centered. i cant complain, becuase the top and bottom of the door panel arent perfectly perpendicular.

I knew it had a wall, but did not know if you considered that more of a daily...
I would definitely get something that has good mileage
