[QUOTE="SkizeR, post: 8725937, member: 633600"] Once the amplifiers and wiring got straightened out, and the door sound deadening was removed, and ResoNix Squares and CCF7 were installed into the doors and rear deck, we moved on to fabricating the A-Pillars to house the Hertz Mille midranges. An acrylic baffle was fabricated and fiberglassed into the OEM pillar with a slight angle and design, and a laser-cut grill to match it was designed and made. The pillar was then primed to help identify any areas that still need sanding to achieve a perfect finish [img]https://i.imgur.com/ATVvRSG.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/nDCQOF6.jpg[/img] Once ready for upholstery, the A-Pillars were wrapped in an OEM matching vinyl, the drivers were installed with stainless machine screws, grill installed, and tweeters installed into the OEM sail panels.
