Platinum Member Username: The_image_dynamicSan Diego, California Post Number: 3686 Registered: Dec-06 | I have built similar pods on doors using high stiffness injection molded plastic. My friend owned a molding shop so I could make them for just the cost of the powder. See the way it is lifted off of the door all the way along to the right of the speaker mount? This adds air space, and using this technique it is possible to get .20 cubes or more which drastically increases mid-bass output. You should add dacron filler for even more apparent volume and resonance reduction. |

Platinum Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 4348 Registered: Jan-06 | Hey Chad I noticed why you really didn't like the kicks especially with your clutch pedal being there, had to suck. I will get to glassing after this weekend. The 6's will be on the floor and the 5's will be in the doors, they will all seem to be almost next to each other. I pulled the old sub box out also, foam @ss gasket formed nicely just have to resin/glass certain key areas and it will be ready for the Fisher box, can't wait... Polo.   |

So you just using one mid? what about the tweet? on the sail, pillar? Looks like a good idea. It will bring the stage up higher too. Are you gonna angle them slightly? So what you get done today? Post a pic? j/k. |
