[QUOTE="mat3833, post: 8787454, member: 587645"] It will never be done man, you know that! The pillars I just made are a temporarily permanent thing. I want to fiberglass them, so this is the "template" to glass over, but before it gets glassed I want to make some changes to the pod shape that will require a fair bit more work. [ATTACH]37583[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]37584[/ATTACH] The aiming is slightly off on the passenger tweeter, and about 10 degrees off on the driver's midrange, so I'll probably dig out the dremel and cut the cups free and re-epoxy them. I got excited and test-fit them before they were fully cured I guess, and they sagged a bit unfortunately. The doors are going to need alot of work. I have a spare passenger door panel so it got chopped up to test fit the hexagon I decided to **** around with at work this week... Miters and a bit of a round on the edges. [ATTACH]37586[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]37587[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]37585[/ATTACH] They stick out a little far for my liking, so they might get cut down an inch at an angle firing into the footwell to give some extra protection to the speaker. These will only be playing from about 400hz down so being on axis isn't a huge deal. Wiring is in progress. Need to get the protection caps soldered in-line on the 4-16 wires in the dash, and then I get to work on the pigtails for the amp and run the DRC wire and modify the mount to fit in my dash. If all goes well, I could have a working stereo by next weekend. It would be a single 18 in the baffle, the dash would be together, the door panels wouldn't be finished, and I would still need the amp rack finished, but it would be 80 percent done. Final wiring/amp rack can't be finished until the box is finished, and that's going to take a bit... Matt [/QUOTE]
