Geoff has been a friend of mine for a few years now, as we both help run the Strictly Sound Quality group on facebook. He asked me if i wanted to work on his car while him and his wife went on a vacation together. He told me he wanted some pillars featuring the new Audible Physics RG100 full ranges and Dayton Audio ND16 tweeters, to modify his doors to house some Dayton RS225 midbass drivers, and to install his new Zapco Z150.6SP and Zapco Z8 IV dsp in the trunk. All to be done within a week. got it. For this car, since i was busy with another, i let my employee Matei take on most of the job. He did pretty much everything aside from some of the more complex glassing and body filler techniques, and wrapping the pieces. This also kinda explains the lack of "during" pics. Its hard to remember to take pics of every step when your in a groove and have never had to put a build log together before. Hats off to him.
Heres a quick little "before" pic on the pillars and doors. Geoff is apparently blind to dirt lol (just kidding. its a daily, so..)
side note, these doors are a total pita to clean. you will see my attempts in the after pics
RG100 trim ring and grill inside its baffle. I taught Matei some basic router techniques recently. He picks things up FAST.
Dayton ND16, Audible Physics RG100, and Dayton RS225 all wired up
Matei figured out how much he needed to enlarge the door speaker opening, then created a template shape that fits the car while covering the hole. After the baffles of the pod were made, it glassed them to match the doors contours. They were attached to the door panel from the rear. Trim rings that press fit were routed out of acrylic and have a small bevel out the outside. They were eventually wrapped in grill cloth.
Mounting for the false floor, as well as said false floor before being wrapped in matching carpet.
Zapco Z-150.6SP and Z8 IV installed along with some RSD Custom Cables. Check these guys out for all of your custom cable needs.
The stock false floor goes above this and this is where the subwoofer enclosure (not shown) sits
Door pods fully installed. You can still see some water on the panels from trying to clean them.
Pillars done and installed
Thanks for looking!
