Can't say this enough...use double-sided sticky tape and find out what the best placement for the tweeter is. Different cars, different tweeters, different preferences, too many variables to say what's best for you.

now i took the mold and mounted it back in the door

now i traced an outline of where i wanted to cut it

now this shit is hard to cut out with a jigsaw. missed the line especially at the top.

did a test fit and at the top where i missed the line i got to trim it down just a hair so my power window/lock switch will fit back in

trimmed it down and it fits perfectly

now i sanded it down. didn't worry too much about the inside since it won't be seen. you can see the bump where i made the relief cut. if i wanted to i could bondo that in, but you won't see it so i'm not gonna bother.

now i'm gonna try to make my baffle

Hehe I couldn't imagine trying to cut that with a jigsaw. Angle dye grinder or airsaw ftw //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

why aren't those speaker wires in the boot //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

in some of the pics it doesn't look flush but that is because it isn't screwed down.

Easiest way i've found to go thru them is with a zip tie.... just tape the wire to the end and feed it thru. Works alot better than a coat hanger.

But they're lookin good man, keep it up!

well this is the very first ring i have ever made. just decided to do it freehand with the jigsaw.

speaker opening was a little small so i trimmed it and now the speaker fits perfectly

use a coat hanger or fish tape to run wires through the boot. and the mids look nice cant wait to see this done so i can try it.

maybe:scared:

so I have a quick question on positioning....if you do BOTH door pods AND kicks, and your using components...would it sound alright to put all 4 tweets on the dash? If not,...where would you reccomend placing them?
