[QUOTE="req, post: 1793661, member: 555713"] for doorpods. i used very thin extremly stretchy material such as pantyhose. what i did with mine, was i cut a piece of 1\2" wood to a little smaller than the size of the hole for the stock speaker and made a bracket that sat back far enough just not to hit the window. then i took aluminum foil and pushed it way doen in this hole and up to the level of the door panel and taped it all down. then i took some FLEECE (spell it right people) and i put it over the hole, and pushed it in with my piece of wood, and bolted the wood to my little bracket i made out of aluminum stock. then i stretched the fleece up to the level of the door and hot-glued it down and resin'd the crap out of it. i put ~2 layers of matte on there and that is my rear mould. i cut that to the shape i wanted then i make my flushed speaker ring and aimed that. i used the pantyhose material to get my shape because if you use something thick like fleece it will screw up your rear shape when you stretch it over the rear mould because its too thick. then i resind that and put 2~3 layers of matte on and i carpeted it. it was easy, i did each pod in about four hours (not including dry time) heres a graphic i made a while back to show how i did it; [IMG]http://i4.tinypic.com/10ollk2.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i4.tinypic.com/10oln9g.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i4.tinypic.com/10olkbo.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
