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?

both pics are ms paint the camera couldnt pick up the lines on the board the 2nd pic is the best place i could of put the 6th n 7th coaxs any other place they where in the way

not 100% sure what the plan is yet once i get a set of the speakers im gonna cut holes in the wood and door skin to make them sit in as far as pos without hitting the window then once there all in il mount them to a 2nd board to level them all off

well was planing on doing lots of work today but my goodies didnt turn up untill half 4 and its gone dark so will get a full days work tomorrow got the 8" coaxs and some tweeters in the post today they look massiv in person gonna look sweet once ive got all 5 in each door.
(1" tweeter my old 6.5" and the new mids)

also got this off a mate will be hooked up to my new headunit and my side and rear screens not sure where to put it tho i can put in above the number plate so i can use it for parking (not that i have trouble parking) i can aim it out of the boot so i can keep an eye on people looking at my boot while im in the car demoing or put it at the back of the tunnel so i got tunnel cam (not sure how long it would last in there tho) you lot got any ideas?

and Liam, you obviulsy have a problem parking with that camera, or you going to actually say its there and put it in the passenger foot well, for the upskirt edition, se if the ladies frequency is going to work

[liam_b]

well been out doing some work today manage to get 5 of the 30 holes cut its going allot easier and neater with my router jig but i had a little accident with it. been working with 18mm mdf all week and today forgot im using 12mm mdf so i set the router up for 18 and marked the work table a little lol didn't relies i was doing it until i had finished the 1st hole Oh well got speakers to fit in perfectly. i can now see where im going to have to cut the door cut to fit the mags.
(epic fail lol)

[Lippy]

Door builds look good so far bud !

Question... are you mounting the speakers directly to the mdf board in the pictures? or are you building off from that like some sort of pods?
Only reason I ask is that behind the inner door skin there isnt that much room for speakers before you hit the glass iirc, also if you go through the inner skin what are you going to use to stop water dripping on the back of the speakers and nackering them out?
Im intreagued as I had loads of water on the back of my door speakers without waterproofing and there wasnt much room in there to work with.

I love the stuff you do sometimes, always makes me think 'how is he gonna overcome that bit/problem'

keepup the good work! hopefully see it again soon!

thanks mate thos problems already been thought of gonna get angle grinder out tomorrow going to make 3 cuts then fold the skin back the mags only go a cm so the skin i fold back will only go back a little and this will protect the speakers from water.

wanted to fit the speakers deeper into the door plenty of space from the inner skin and the window but where the top one is the rod for the door handle goes so cant push that speaker back as far as the rest so have to being the bottom ones out to match. they are going to come out about 2" from the 1st mdf board this will give me a nice little arm rest and give me place to put a door handle

hopefuly have one maybe both in and working by sw meet. ur gonna like another idea ive got dual headunits

haha not liking my new headunit but as its a £1700 unit that i didnt pay any where near that for i shall keep it and put my old headunit in too so then i can use that for booming and driving and i can use the dvd unit for movies and game console

big enough letters lol think i might try tip some resin in there as its doing my head in keep getting stuff stuck in there lol

[liam_b]

well got 2 in and working have cut the door skin to give me room for the mags and can go deaper than i 1st thought so gonna so somint fancy with perspex and lighting cutting the skin didnt go to bad untill i got to the last 2 holes where i rememberd there is a weight in the door to help it close so i had to cut thru that lol well going out now to have a listen will be intresting to see the differance between 2 sets of speakers worth £70 and the old set that was worth £800 . pic time

[Jim-Bob]

Looking good liam!

Wouldn't worry about losing the weight that helps the door close though....

thanks mate yeah think ive added enough weight to get rid of the factory weight lol

had a listen last night and there isnt much differance between the jbl's n jl's the jbls are just as load as the jl's and there only getting 70rms each wen the jl where getting 140 each. the jbl's have brought the sound stage down a little but once ive got my jbl tweeters in that will bring it back up. SQ wise the jbls aint bad there very clear they dont have the warmness the jl's have but that could be down to not having the tweeters in

very exited to see what it sounds like once all ten are in hopefully getting the other 4 sets next week

[Tontsy]

fuck man, thats looking great!
very interested to see how these play against the JLs!

what type of clearence is there from them and your seats?

thanks mate same the jl's are 10X the price but are they 10X the better lol

clearence between the seat and and speaker is about 5mm. clearence between the mags and door rod is about 15mm give or take so the speakers will be going into the doors a little more. going to try get both doors to the level the drivers is so then i can start making them look fancy got a few ideas need to find some 10mm frosted perspex 1st tho but u will love what im doing

[saxtreme]

omfg you are actually mad lol

fucking awsome install
money well spent geeze

keep us posted
