DIY Custom fiberglass door pod install

[AustinKP 10+ year member]

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum but it seems to be pretty knowledgeable, so I'll hopefully be sticking around to see what I can learn. Saturday I just finished fiberglassing my mids in my doors for a school final project. Check it out here and let me know what you think.

Looking forward to getting to know you guys. Hope I can contribute something useful. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

lookin good man.

heres a good shot if people dont wanna wait for all them pictures to load;

the only thing that bothers me about that, is the little scrapes on the door round the edges where the enclosure meets the door...

basically im doin the same install with a pair of Koda 8" midbasses and a crapload of deadener... did you seal the back? or are they IB? may wanna look into sealing the rear side of that midbass- might get more punch.

Yeah, I should have warned you guys that it's not very dialup-friendly. The scrapes are much more pronounced in the picture because they're still full of fiberglass dust. Now that I've properly vacuumed and applied armor-all to it, they are hardly noticable. The passenger side is much better since I learned from doing the driver's door first.

Now, they are IB. I was told not to seal them since the speakers were intended to be IB. But I'm getting ready to deaden the crap out of those doors. I just finished the rest of 1 gallon of SS Spectrum on my trunk this morning.
