Any tips on door pods?

Ill probably end up drilling some 2-3 inch holes in the back through the pod and door panel to vent them into the doors as the pods have very little internal volume as they sit.

You should have cut alittle dip inbetween those circles on the top and bottom to give it a little more contour or placed them a little clouser together.Coming along though.

Yeah about making two rings per door, but this was easier to mount. Also the reason for spacing was that the mounting supports are 2x2 so its nice and sturdy.

I finished them up structurally on Jan. 7th. Ill get some pictures up tomorrow in the daylight. I just need to bondo and paint/cover them. It will probably be a while though since Im back in school 3 hours away from my tools.

Yes, I am aware there are some bubbles and that it needs sanding and finish work, but they are structurally sound and that is all I need right now.

A little sanding and bondo and they'll look nice imo. Good job. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

How did you attach it to the door?I seen it screwed eariler...

 

[squeak12 10+ year member]

I had T Nuts, but I just used 3/4" screws from the pod into the door for most of it. On the side near the back of the car, I used 1/2" screws from the door into the pod. I had to use shorter ones there so it wouldn't protrude from the pod.

So you screwed through the holes in the front and from the backside towards the rear area?

 

[squeak12 10+ year member]

Yeah, I went through the speaker holes where I could and from the doorpanel into the pod where I couldn't fasten it from the front. Also there are 3" holes in the doorpanel and pods directly behind the speakers for venting.

Sweet!You gonna paint or cover it in fabric?

 

[squeak12 10+ year member]

Im thinking about painting it either black or a metallic silver/grey. I might end up doing vinyl/leather to match the door. I haven't decided on anything that far yet...

 

[audioarsonal 10+ year member]

Silver/grey would be tight.But some tweed would also go.

nice work so far.Keep us posted.
