[QUOTE="ghart999, post: 5035087, member: 569211"] Now on to the kicks for now. I built speaker rings to hold the tweeters. The tweets are very large and deep . I used a round over bit on the outer ring. First time with the router, EVER. [IMG]http://www.thehartfamily.info/GTP/Install/diy10.jpeg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.thehartfamily.info/GTP/Install/diy15.jpeg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.thehartfamily.info/GTP/Install/diy17.jpeg[/IMG] Next, I taped off the area for the kicks. I could not utilize the stock kick panel since it is very small. So the kick pod and the stock kick panel will not be connected in anyway. [IMG]http://www.thehartfamily.info/GTP/Install/diy12.jpeg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.thehartfamily.info/GTP/Install/diy13.jpeg[/IMG] After the base dried, I cut out the desire piece with a diamond cuting bit for my dremel. I then held the baffle to the base with plumber strapping. I used a laser to aim the pods to hit the window exactly 5 inches in front of my ear and 1.5 inches below it. [IMG]http://www.thehartfamily.info/GTP/Install/diy24.jpeg[/IMG] After I found the right angle, I used wooden dowel to hold the baffle to the base. Used hot glue. [IMG]http://www.thehartfamily.info/GTP/Install/diy25.jpeg[/IMG] Once this dried, I covered the base in cloth. First time doing this, so I ended up with the some wrinkles as seen in the pic. Hopefully body filler will help hide them. [IMG]http://www.thehartfamily.info/GTP/Install/diy26.jpeg[/IMG] Then I painted to pods in resin and 3 ounces of chop mat. Just finished this part two hours ago. I will post more pics and I progress throughout the week. Also I will be covering the kick pods and door pods in a light grey vinyl that matches the light grey in my car's interior. Vinyl is new for me too, so hopefully it will look good.
