[QUOTE="yacob.naif, post: 1903581, member: 565696"] #2) turn lemons into lemonade, and go balls to the walls: [IMG]http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/5825/23id.jpg[/IMG] I decided (obviously ^^) to remove the factory speaker grille, as well as the storage compartment in the doors, and do a ported cabinet, a la cabinet speakers.... mounted into the doors. The above pic is just a test fit of the baffles i made, they already look 100% better than that hackjob i had before, so i'm gettin' motivated. So i get my baffles ready, i decided to use the factory speaker location, so i cut my holes, and started designing the walls of the enclosure around the speaker location: [IMG]http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/2610/38ri1.jpg[/IMG] got the walls completed, next was to screw them together, and level the top and bottom of the enclosure walls, to make a nice seal: [IMG]http://img416.imageshack.us/img416/4029/43ux.jpg[/IMG] The bottom piece is going to suffer the most direct vibration, so it was cut from 1/2" plywood rather than the 3/8 i used for the other sides, and also dampened with dynamat: [IMG]http://img416.imageshack.us/img416/186/57lf.jpg[/IMG] gorilla glued all the walls together, and then the bottom piece to the walls with gorilla glue for a nice air-tight fit, and compressed with lead: [IMG]http://img416.imageshack.us/img416/4942/63cn.jpg[/IMG] designing the initial enclosure was the hard part, so i popped the other side out before the glue was even tacky: [IMG]http://img416.imageshack.us/img416/1596/77dp.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
