Silverado DDZ build

Did some Illuminati shit that I learned in geometry class to find the center of the circle

Mid fit

I used a hole saw to cut the tweeter mounting hole. Mistake to leave the mid mounted in the baffle. The edge of the blade bit wrong and skipped onto the cone of the mid. Tore through the dust cap and part of the cone //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Now I got a stencil for future reference..

Here's everything mounted in the door. Probably going to bondo the edge of the plywood layers and then wrap with fabric

Must have been your first time using a hole saw lmao!!! Start it in reverse to get it started then go forward for smoothness and it shouldn't jump and tear up your neo pros! That's a bummer dude

Not my first time, but it's been a while. Last time I used it, I was cutting holes in my car's firewall

It was a stupid mistake

I don't have a router. If I do, I can't find it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

It's great that you felt the need to share your indecision

Bondo'd the edges and I'll probably get to sanding it tomorrow.

Now I'm thinking about just painting them instead of wrapping.

Everyone with a blown sub needs to do this!

Hang the magnet in your garage and stick your tools to it. It's an easy way to store your tools in an accessible location, you can see everything, and there's the bonus of magnetizing everything!

Got this banner last week for $22

Hopefully some day I can afford to buy more XS batteries and maybe get sponsored for a discounted price rate

Why did you make such a thick baffle for the 8s?

 

[adulbrich 5,000+ posts]

I had to space them out from the existing speaker holes. I think stock was 5 1/4. Otherwise, it wouldn't fit

You're welcome.

See part of me appreciates the hand built sub, the selection of raw drivers run active, the huge box in that truck. But when does it get pretty? Gonna be any surprises like vinyl wrapping or fiberglass and paint? Stain and poly?

I like the magnet tool organizer btw.

When I decide what to cover it with

I'm more of a function over form kinda person. If it's loud and sounds good, I could care less what it looks like

Thanks, works like a charm

Yeah, I may try that later on. For now, these are temporarily mounted and I don't have to worry about messing them up.
I was planning on making my door baffles today, but it's raining all day.

Same here bro, I have a storm coming here to fl, traffic is going to be terrible...

Share some of that rain.... We need all the storms we can get over here.

Good work so far. bummer about the mid though.
