[QUOTE="just call me KeV, post: 8818936, member: 656095"] 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. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_0001.JPG"]44603[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_0002.JPG"]44604[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_0015.JPG"]44606[/ATTACH] That's right baby. I trashed them. Basuuurrrrraaa. I had a few issues with them. One of the most significant reasons is due to the size. Each one was an absolute unit. And despite the layout I had some loss of sight of the passenger side. It was only the view of the side of the car but I didn't like the idea of that all. So it was back to the drawing board again.... 3 times I built these things. So I tried a few other configurations. The baffle for the AMT's is way too big. (That's what she said....boom) I also thought about adding a 5" like those in the kicks. In the end I chose that less is more. You can see in the second pic that I have cut a 3/4" baffle for the planar tweeters and modified (cut hole) in the A pillar. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_0018.JPG"]44607[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_0023.JPG"]44608[/ATTACH] After building up a few layers of body filler and knocking them back I came up with a shape that wasn't horrible. Still cannot cut a square hole to save my life but it's all good in the hood.
