haha i do try least the bottom of the doors wont flex any more lol

gonna be powering them off 3x genesis p4's so 12x 70rms for the front end if i choose to go for 7 sets then the 7th will be powerd off the new headunit ive just put in

gonna mark up tomorrow to see how meny i can fit and hopfuly the window mec ect dont get in the way if it does i might have to bring the mdf out to 3" lol

M10 / M8 bolt though the door and jsut space the MDF off the actually door a bit for clearance, then fill the gap with insulation! might look weird though.

whats the new HU you got going in?
and what you doing with the P600?

good idea but how ive pland it in my head the only parts on the door are going to be 2.5" thick the rest should go down too 12mm. plus being solid 2.5mdf will give the doors some decent strengh.

new headunit is a pioneer avh p6500dvd dvd flip out touch screen job you can add on boxes onto it so it can have sat nav. usb/ipod, bluetooth, dab, tv it will be running my rear screens too

the p6000 i wanted to mount in the boot but due to being skint ive sold it to a friend

got the 12mm sheet bolted to the door just need to make the mdf rings now and get it all glued into place hopfuly be buying the speakers next week so gonna make some 6.5" plates so i can bolt my jls in untill i get the jbl's next week

You going from comps or coax liam?

James

this is getting better and better mate

yep have decided 6/7x 8" coax the car is never gonna be an sq car lol hopfully with my new headunit and the p4 amps i should be able to set them up to sound ok if not i already have back up plan of braking a few tweeters to make it a little less bright if its to much lol

midbass should be awsome will have the cone area of 6 12's in my doors :D

thanks mate

Sounds good liam!

Would of been epic to see 6 or 7 tweeters in pods going up the 'A' pillar, but i suppose the cost, the extra wiring and extra fibreglassing sort of killed it off unfortunately?

James

told you months ago to go for mdf doors lol. looks good dude.

the doors look awesome man! and the SQ, you may not think it will be anything superb, but its still going to sound fucking awesome! and is going to keep up very well! :y:

what kind of wait do you think we are going to have, untill you have them in and trimmed up?
...how are you trimming them?!

Updates are looking good since the last time I saw it, keep up the good work :y:

looking gd liam carnt wait to hear it are u going to car audio direct at the end of jan if so i will see u there i will be bringing my saxo out lol but gd work mate

would off been but the cars getting to the point where i shouldnt be spending any money on it as im only gonna have it for the next year then its onto van :D

i might have a mate who wants a big install soon so il try do it on that lol

thanks mate noing my luck it will make my db drag score go down lol

thanks mate true it will be prob only me notice the lack of sq most people who sit in my car think 6x9's are the best SQ drivers in the world lol im mostly doing this setup for the midbass witch is on the music i mostly listen to (rock) plus the open door loudness for when im at shows ect

cant do any more work untill tomorrow next tuesday/wednesday cos i need a set of the 837's to make sure i put the rings in the right places ect plus ive read the external dia is 9.5" witch im hoping is a typo as is gonna make fitting alot more tighter. hoping to get most of the work done by end of the month depends on money

thanks mate

thanks mate yeah hoping to be there just waiting for the date to be confirmed as ive got loads of meets ect coming up. think i might go Galleons Reach Meet on the 29th if the weather aint to bad.

hows the kia?

well been out seeing how much space ive got and ive get enough to fit all 7 sets but to me it looks abit crowded and looks like ive stuck speakers where ever i could so im gonna cut down to 5 sets this is gonna save me £160, doors not be as heavy, less work, looks better and il have an arm rest still lol

what you lot think?


better than

id wanan reinforce the doors with all that weight mate lol
they aint that good as they are ....

you are bonkers
such a mad build and the money spent idread to think.
the audio is worth more than the car lol

you might get your dream now james just thought of an idea witch i will be needing 5 tweeters in my A pilers so will get the 8's in the doors and if it doesnt sound right the A piller tweeter builds will go ahead

doors should be fine with the weight the speakers dont weight much ive hung off my doors and they seemed ok but if the builds end up heavery than i 1st thought i will put abit of extra weld on the doors

thanks mate the audio is worth a hell lot more than the car lol

door ideas look good bloke!

but you well know you want to throw some 6x9 in there, just to make it obviously better than anyone else :zainy:

and going for the 5 sets rather than the 7 looks awesome! that one top left, will look strange! unless you were to trim the plastic the same as the rest! then i can only imagine them getting in the way though, will be close to the Dash and for me thats very near knee height!, atleast you wont have the ones being powered off the HU!

:D hope i do get my way :P

James

all that weight over time isnt going to do those doors any good :). Id guess 6 months of shutting doors and you will find they wont shut without scraping at the bottom.

1st piccy looks good, 2nd piccy looks like the circles ahve been drawn on microsoft paint, out of line etc etc...?

Should be good when its done! are you planning on building up fibregalss from the wood and cutting holes in the wood for magnets to sit through?
