sweet then!

its the same idea. you might want to try some kind of larger 8mm or 10mm selftapping screw tho, small ones like that tend to wiggle out.

MAKE SURE you put the screws in a place where you can get them out thru the speaker hole tho LOL.

ALSO! when making the speaker ring, make a flushmount one, and TRY to get the face of the ring flush with the door panel. aim it up and over JUST A BIT, but try and keep it as flush as possible but make sure its further out than the door panel by like 1\2" or it wont stretch right., and make the "lip" from that red fleece that goes over the door panel like 1\2"

it will make it look nice and smooth.

*nother tip

put some plastic between under the door pod and the door jamb and into the floor of the car. that way you wont spill tons of resin all over the ground and the car like icetee did eehhe //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

there isn't as much room as it appears so i have to come out about an inch to make sure i got plenty of clearance for the speaker. i don't know how to make flush mount mdf rings.

also that screw was used just to hold the wood so i could stretch the fleece

heres where id recommend cutting (green outline)

a flushmount circle is this, cut TWO circles with the OVERALL diamater is 1\2" larger that the overall diamater of the speaker. so in your case, the speaker is 6.5" (measure it first) - you would make two rings that are 7".

in the first ring, you cut out the overall diamater of the speaker, so the first ring would be 7" on the outside, and 6.5" on the inside.

the second ring, instead of the overall diamater of the speaker cut out, you cut the mounting diamater out. so the second ring would be 7" outside and 5-5/8 on the inside.

then you glue them together, so the speaker sits "down inside" the two rings. i like to use some good plywood as screws bite to it better and absolute strength is not as nessicary in a doorpod as a 1000w sub box. and you can buy 1\2 plywood in 2'x4' sheets.

then you mount this inside your pod as shown;

ok i took the mold out and i can see where i need more resin. i also took a lot of tape and foil with me.

so i'll do a coat of resin front and back and a layer of mat and call it a night
