Heres a picture, just want to make sure before i go head first into this project, first time fiberglassing if its not obvious lol

The angle will be tweaked a little as i get more into it, but thats the general idea

I wish i had made 2 pieces instead of one piece, because the pillars slant so much, but i cant go back and make another piece so im stuck with this

I don't see any issues....you will have some reflection with all of the sharp vehicle geometry and glass, but that's something everyone has when doing speakers in vehicle pillars. I think it should sound great....not sure if you're running active but if not you will most likely want to attenuate the level of the tweets for a balanced sound.

Edit.....are you planning on bridging the gap between the dash and pillar with fiberglass? Not impossible but that could be tricky to blend smoothly.

hell no to the bridging lol im running active. Thanks for the advice tho!

Should i be drilling holes behind my speakers in the pillars, or should i not drill any holes and leave the space between the fiberglass and the pillar and the "sealed box" for the tweeter/midrange? Or do they not really need to be contained in any sealed surrounding?

Honestly I've never done fiberglass, only seen it on here. I'm not sure the answer to the holes question however you do want a sealed enclosure....it will more or less work as infinite baffle but separating thus from your car will reduce any strange noises, moisture, and reflections which may come from the inside of the pillar if left open.

I appreciate all the links/pictures guys, that gives me a good idea of what ill need to do. But as far as having a sealed barrier goes, what do i use? Baffles like this? Kicker KST20 3/4" KS-Series Silk Dome Tweeter Package with Acoustic Baffle Pair - HPCA-Kicker-78
