The way you stretched your material is wierd to me. I know your gonna do it a different way next time. I just have never seen anybody go about it that way with the clamps and such //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I liked the jumper cables, lolz.

Looks pretty sweet man! Why didn't you go infinite baffle? Why did you use kind of a sealed enclosure?

X2 is it better to go sealed? What cu.ft. would those pods be? Do they need to be any certain size or does it not really matter with comps?

it's more for looks, but since it is sealed you can always add polyfill

Fudge that's allot of work. I started a small fg enclosure for my 12" & have gained a new respect for people that do this for a living. it's some messy sh*t.

Looking good though. Can't wait to see it covered in vynil.

Thanks for kicking my brain into gear. I'd been pondering how to redo my doors and get it all firmly mounted and hide the seam with the door. I should be getting to work on my new system interation here shortly. This time there will be more pics.

Just tape the panel then, and make the back mold on top of the door...

Got pics of your door panel?

If you don't make them too heavy... you could use silicone... but that takes 24hours to cure.

Best way is to do what he OP did... remove the door panel, sneak some large piece of wood into the inner skin (make sure your window can still come all the way down), and anchor to that - screwing/bolting the back of your pod to that anchor will sandwich the door panel in there, so it won't rattle/etc. I've always still used some little self-tapping screws to screw the pod onto the outer door panel/skin anyway, just so everything stays put.

It is completely possible to do it without cutting the door panel though, but not advisable because you can't get the depth you need for a 6.5" speaker without sticking waaaaaay out or pointing straight into the ****** tunnel.
