well since the first sub beauty panel wouldn't work when the sub was in and my frustration going over me to a point where i damaged the panel up pretty bad i ended up setting myself back to having to restart the beauty panel again. this time i had to di it from a different approach. the first one was made so that the sub would "pinch" the panel in place but in reality if didn't want to.
so in hopes to get the panel to sit in place i cut the flat trim that was supposed to be sandwiched in place and attempted to slip it over the sub. after a good hour and a half of trying to get in it place i took my rage out on it.
so i took a break and set the build aside as i needed to think of a way that i can reate a beauty panel that will slip over he sub that isn't permanent. the reason why i can't perma mount the beauty panel is if i ever need to access my coilovers i would be able to with a removable panel.
so what i came up with was to make a sub ring that was set as the size of the outer edge of the speaker. then i'll temp mount the ring onto the box, then fleece it, then remove it. with a ring set, i could then slip that over the sub when mounted.
overall that is what was done this week. i had work this whole week so it pretty much took me all week.
i'll explain as i go.
taped surround so i can mark the placement of the speaker on the enclosure
clearance that may be an issue for the new ring
marked
sub removed
damage to the enclosure from mounting the sub the first time.
exact outer diameter of the sub surround.
jiggy wit it
