Currently messing with the tweeter pods untill I get some necessary tools/money/supplies.

Using wood filler/glue molded the tweeter on the old factory sails.

Test fit:

Stretched fleece/a dress sock over the sail, used paper clips to pull the fleece in the hole.

Applied resin:

After more sanding primer coats, and some carving so the tweeter can fit:

Pretty much all that is left with those is primer sand the other one, and a few more coats on each till the holes are filled, then paint and wetsand smooth.

Next up I will be smoothing out the back side sloping up to the sub ring then I will carpet the box.

I will be turning the port into an amp rack and sealing the enclosure:

install coming along very nicely, congrats

sick system too

my suggestions:

1st tweeter still needs some filling and smooting out

glazzing puddy for that works the best for me

 

[Rawr-DQ 10+ year member]

Yeah they both need work, I just got my car back from the repair shop, and they stole my money, so I'll be a lil while before I can get the rest of the equipment.

I don't think I mentioned I'm also switching from passive to active crossovers. And in the future considering another set of components.

Glazing putty is the way to go.You'll be forever trying to get the primer to fill all those holes.It drys pretty quick and can be sanded and primed in about 20 min.Then I use a primer sealer just to be safe.Lookin good though.

Looks like a crazy install so far man, keep it up.

Those tweeter pods look amazing.

 

[Rawr-DQ 10+ year member]

Needs some 2000 grit sanding and maybe a few more coats.

[Rawr-DQ 10+ year member]

I decided to call this one done, just did 1 more coat on it and stuck the tweet in.
