[QUOTE="just call me KeV, post: 8800802, member: 656095"] Not to spam but I needed to start another post as I have a ton of photos to share. To begin I took some 1/2" baltic birch and made some light weight baffles with a few smaller pieces added to the rear for strength and add'l depth. The drivers I am using are 3 1/2" deep. They are the glass fiber Daytons that I showed in one of the previous pages. I am a huge fan of Dayton Audio and I suggest you check them out. In the first phot you can see the holes I made in the door panel to accomadate the drivers. I will need to enlarge these slightly as I learned when reinstalling the drivers on the installed door panel. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20220725_163458.jpg"]40600[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="20220725_163628.jpg"]40601[/ATTACH] Some further shaping of the panels will be required but I will address that a bit later. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20220725_163736.jpg"]40602[/ATTACH] No idea why this is upside down. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20220725_163747.jpg"]40603[/ATTACH] You can see doing some hasty measurements That I have the depth but when I attatched all the door hardware I noticed the upper driver is making contact with the sheetmetal at the factory speaker location but its nothing that a jigsaw and a metal blade cannot fix. Fortunately for me there is only a small section of the motor of the driver making contact with the door. like maybe 7 sq. in. :) [ATTACH type="full" alt="20220725_163925.jpg"]40604[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="20220725_163934.jpg"]40605[/ATTACH] You see I am on the fence about further shaping the panel but I believe I will sleep on it since there is still a good deal of work that I will need to finish the panel. About the yellow hardware. A few points. It is only for mock up. The panel; once complete, will be mounted to the door card from the rear and I will fill these holes [ATTACH type="full" alt="20220725_165552.jpg"]40606[/ATTACH] Notice the tape on the door frame?
