Nothing real exciting here. I finally made some time to continue with my wiring, and to finally deaden the inner door skin. When people mentioned how long it took to sound deaden I thought they must be really slow. It literally took me from 10 this morning until 10:30 this evening. A lot of it was molding the plates to cover the giant holes Chevy left in the door.
All wires are soldered and shrink wrapped.
Grounding points are stripped of paint.
Here's a shot of how the JBL 660GTI setup will look. The woofer will attach to the door with the waveguide tweeter plate mounting the the door panel itself. Tight fit, but should just make it.
I picked up some cold rolled 22 gauge steel for covering the holes. Took a while before I was happy with how it fit against the door. I applied deadening to the back and front of the panel.
Like a glove. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif Well not quite but close enough.
This panel was a pain in the butt. Attach, remove, trim, repeat. The door handle and lock rod's didn't help any either.
I wanted the panel to be easily removed in case I needed to service the door. I'm still debating about shaving the handles so I didn't want to have to tear everything apart should I want back in. This panel was sound deadened back and front same as the others, but the front coating was only attached to this panel, not overlaid like the rest. The last pic should show what I mean.
