    I posted my previous build there but havent been on it a few years. I don't use FB so I either post here or IG. Diyma is still pretty busy but ist's pretty sq centric and only a few people color out side the lines. edit: tons of great info over there though.

    2005 Ford Focus ZX4. Door Update 1/10

    I'll need to swap out the hardware and I need to wire the door speakers up but this should give a pretty good example of what I'm after. I made a rough cut on the rear deck. There is an oval shaped recess and this is what I will build out too using bamboo, modeling clay and reinforced...

    What annoys the ***** outta you/pisses you off...

    I was at the Dollar Tree today and opened the door for a woman and she tried to walk out the other door instead using the one I held open and banged her head against the glass since it wouldn't open. Chivalry is dead I guess. "Smash the pathriarchy!", More like smash you're skull. I'm not tryin'...

    Cont... Here a few more photos of the passenger door and a few of the brackets and hinges That I will use to mount the AMT's from the pillar. The paint is a BEHR paint and primer combo. I am working on a few things at once. So when fiberglass is curing I paint. When I am painting and letting it...

    It's been a minute since I have made an update. Other things have been getting in the way. I have gotten a bit done today and I wanted to share a few pics of what I have been up to. I took the passenger door panel off first and got to modifying. This is the door in it's present state. I am...

    What annoys the ***** outta you/pisses you off...

    ...and why are their hands so dirty.. .like "I just dropped the trans out of a city bus; let's go grocery shopping." Shit drives me crazy. I could put a lighter to your hand and it would catch fire...ass Wash your filthy hands yo!

    I would also decouple the metal and fiberglass/wood enclosure with foam and or mlv and bolt it with rivnuts and bolts or screws.

    Speakers outside the car? Good/ Bad? Ideas?

    I wanted to get a little conversation going in regards to speakers outside the vehicle. For a daily or trailer queen. What are you using and how are you securely mounting them. Locations? Anyone have any photos to share.

    What annoys the ***** outta you/pisses you off...

    I got sent a random package in the mail a couple days ago. Just opened it now. 80 polymer hooks..? So naturally I think someone is commiting fraud with one of cards or paypal accounts. I look up the part number and see the company sells them for 35 dollars a piece. Now I am really freaking out...

    Amps and flying

    I fly all the time for work and they just don't care. ..And there is a lot of theft. I'm getting to the point where I should just buy a large pelican case. Anything electronic or valuable goes with me in my back pack.

    Hyundai Cilantro.. I mean Elantra!

    You could build a new baffle for the door speakers out of Sintra or hdpe. Waterproof and comes in a few different thickness'. It cuts and shapes easy. Throw some butyl rope or rope caulk between the baffle and the metal of the door and another between the baffle and the speaker. Decouple all of...

    2005 Ford Focus ZX4. Door Update 1/10

    Well here it is the next weekend. I haven't gotten much done on the car. I'm doing some odds and ends. I did start the front doors but sadly all I have is a few teaser photos. I bounced back and forth on what I wanted to do about the front doors. I finally settled on an 8" B&C 8NDL51 and two of...

    Please Post Your System Winky?

    Can we please stop this..? It's not benefitting anyone. ..and I'm sure he is a full grown adult. If he had a hand built artisan system with hand-layed exposed carbon fiber that metered 180 db with 100k in components would that validate everything he said? Would it not? Let's have the hobby...

    GCON 18" SSA (Infinite Baffle?)

    You might want a driver with a bit more xmax but it would most likely work.

    GCON 18" SSA (Infinite Baffle?)

    Looks like a good candidate. Keep your power under 500 watts. Just a heads up. I have used subs with a qts of .47 with success.

    New school subwoofer question?

    Fs is important to be sure. But there are other things at play. Sensitivivity, xmax, motor force, sheer cone area. I like them since it feels more natural sounding to the ear. If I were to do an enclosure again I would definitely go bandpass. 4th. I heard one with two 18's and it sounded great...

    New school subwoofer question?

    A well built IB setup with the right drivers will get you a 140. There's cats out here doing 65's on music. Which is..you know...absolutely bananas. I cant wait to see how the hobby evolves in the next 10-20 years.

    SO.. returning to the A pillars. Funny story, I was attempting to wrap the pillars but there were so many compound angles that the suede was not having it. After about 45 minutes of struggling I decided to go to joann fabrics and see if I could find something that matched the suede but was of...

    SO it's been a minute since I have posted any updates. Life just went sideways for a while. But I am getting everything squared away. I have a few updates on what I have been up to. Let's focus on the "A" pillars first. That's right baby. I trashed them. Basuuurrrrraaa. I had a few issues with...

    I really think I'm losing my mind. I am cramming as many speakers as I can into this little thing. I wish my fab skills were better or that I had a glowforge but we are making due with what we have. My 15" midbass speakers have come from Newark.com. Why would you put a 15" midbass in a car...
