Humm, yep, this is true! Anyways, it looks real good with all the matching carpet now! I may have missed it, but whats going on with your front stage?

 

[SourDeez 10+ year member]

Yeah I thought about it, but I mostly ride with it down unless I have people in the car, and when the seat is up im scared to play it loud because the cone might hit the back of the seat.


Yeah I flash the cyanogenmod android gingerbread rom and just a regular tablet now. I wanted a double din but the nice ones cost to much & also I wanted a ipad but they cost to much too and require more work.

Can you please give me more info on how you did this (not the dash fabricating) but harnessing it and what not.

Also, a video of it in action? I literally might order one tonight depending on how functional it really is.

Right now is 2 kenwoods 6.5" and 2 lanzars 5.25" in the front doors i had to take the rear speakers out so the box can fit, some cheap q power tweeters. Later I want to replace all that with crescendo mids and tweeters.

Ever notice the cancellation of the factory spot for the 6.5s due to the horrible design of the door panel?? I took the grill off and made a fiberglass copy of it, now Im buying a pair of 4"s to go onto the fiberglass covers. I also have a pair of q-logics with Clarion 5 1/4s and some no name tweeters Im not going to hook up, but rather just use them to fill the hole up so it looks good. I also plan to take a pair of hifonics tweeters my buddy didnt use and flush mount a few inches forward of the door handles, in that curve (Im sure you know where I mean, if you can picture it right now)

Are you running all of yours from the headunit? Thats what I plan to do for now, and I can always upgrade later on. Im going to run the 4s and the tweeters on the front channel of my h/u and the 5 1/4s on the rear and call it a day. Should work out ok for what it is Id think.

no cancellation that i know of and I run everything off my amp, and I want to add some tweeter to the spot in front of the door handle too, I actually bought some super tweets thinking they would there bought I didn't realize how big they were until i got them. Do you have some pics of those fiberglass covers?

Humm, well, maybe cancellation wasnt the best word for what I ment...more like, not as "in your face" as they could be handles it a little better. And yes, I do. They are still bare glass in the pics. I took them the day I done it. After I get my speakers, then Ill cut the holes and fabric them in the same asI used for the top portion of my panels, console lid and my pillars so itll match. I dont want to jack your thread with my pics, so where you want me to send/post them?

You should post some pics just for reference/ideas for me and other guys. I know Iv searched the hell out of google and didnt find much, so thats why I got creative and glassed.

I think when it comes time to mount the tweeters, im going to take a sharpie and trace around where I want them, then heat my hole saw up with a little torch and brand the fabric so it will melt it and the fabric wont fray out or anything, then cut the holes //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

Ah, no jack intended, but there they are. Kepp in mind, This is my first glass job ever, and I do plan to add more resin to the backs, but Im waiting to get speakers and see where theyll go so I dont waste a bunch where Ill be cutting out. And to mount, I traced the funny shaped hole where the factory grills set in sharpie. Im going to mount some small bolts to these "grills" and drill a hole in the panel, lay some weather stripping on it, and just thread a nut on. Here ya go:

Still on the table, letting the resin dry.

First one done. Compaired to the factory grill

Both done and dry. Now to wait on speakers then to wrap them.

Fits perfect after a good bit of trimming.

Iv never saw this done, so I figured Id give it a try. I dont see any reason why it wouldnt work out good? I wish I would buy/make rings that were cut so one side would be like 3/4 tall, and go to nothing, so I could angle them upwards, without having to do a full glass job with the dowels and all. In other words, take a 3/4" ring what go up it 3/8" and cut back to eather corner edge of the ring, if you get what Im saying?

Edit: sorry about the bad quality. But you get the point

 

[basshead7890 10+ year member]

I saw somewhere were they took the grill used it as the base then glued the dowel rods and ring to it and glass the whole thing together, i might do something like that or like yours later.

 

[basshead7890 10+ year member]

made me a battery holder but i had to assemble it inside the trunk, I wish i thought to do it before I put my box in

i was able to get my rear speakers to fit too

 

[basshead7890 10+ year member]

2 more pics with a better camera, also im going to put another coat of paint in the port

 

[LDW3RD 10+ year member]

Good work, it looks good.

 

[fannin88 10+ year member]

Hey when you built the 3/4 pieces that you covered the trunk braces with, did you just drill them and rebolt in the factory places or what?

 

[basshead7890 10+ year member]

I screwed them to the box, they just sit on top of the metal braces.

 

[basshead7890 10+ year member]

the vertical brace came loose again and started to rattle really bad so i just took it out, until I come up with a better way to brace.

I went to a local car show today at The Speakerbox and they had a DB contest. They had 2 class, less than 3000 watts and over 3000 watts, I came in third in the less than 3000 watts.

this was my highest and it was on music playing dj monsta bass dropwith driver's door open. the mic was meca style at the headrest.

 

[basshead7890 10+ year member]
