How many subs and what kind (i should know this already...sorry) omg....."look at tweaker's signature cbevis" duh.... cbevis 07-26-2006, 06:59 PM i'f i were you.....i would buy another 12" woofer (matching if you can) before i worry about custom anything. You'll just end up wanting to redo it anyway and no matter how you fabricate that box, one 12" isn't going to be enough to fill Guido's air space...close, but not quite. I'd be game for something like that though luckytweaker 07-26-2006, 06:59 PM lmao. can i smack you now dood? and im thinking about doing 2 10" woofers. which means i'll have to gte a bigger amp. oh well. and i think we should start a new thread for this? cbevis 07-26-2006, 07:02 PM word....like in the sterio section down stairs....you start it and i'll reply luckytweaker 07-26-2006, 07:04 PM nah...too lazy...lol cbevis 07-26-2006, 07:06 PM oi...then I"LL start a new one....tomorrow...i gota go pick up me wifle.... cbevis 07-26-2006, 07:08 PM oi...then I"LL start a new one....tomorrow...i gota go pick up me wifle.... luckytweaker 07-26-2006, 07:10 PM a wifle ball or a wifle bat?? tech 07-26-2006, 09:19 PM Damb I guess I am on my Own I wanted a Nice custom door panel lined with Speakers. luckytweaker 07-26-2006, 09:32 PM yes you are tech....lol cbevis 07-27-2006, 12:08 PM Damb I guess I am on my Own I wanted a Nice custom door panel lined with Speakers.

Sorry broham....just duct tape some speakers to the car door......it'll be fine, you car is mostly silver anyway. Thanks alot!!! cbevis 07-28-2006, 11:59 AM I wanted a Nice custom door panel lined with Speakers where are the speakers located exactly and what kind of speakers did you want to replace them with? tech 07-28-2006, 10:45 PM Originally it had none but the hole was there. I installed a Set of pioneers. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v624/mustang8719/pics007.jpg Kind of hard to see but look for the grill in the door panel. I think they are 5 inch behind there. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v624/mustang8719/pics012.jpg my box http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v624/mustang8719/pics006.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v624/mustang8719/pics005.jpg Amps http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v624/mustang8719/pics004.jpg Radio and EQ cbevis 07-31-2006, 11:32 AM ...well, you could do what i did and throw a set of 6x9s in the doors instead. I just cut the plastic bigger and mounted them on the out side with a speaker cover hiding all the mucked up plastic. They were originally 4x6s...bad engineering on GMs part...4x6s are crap. Your speaker enclosure looks like it's low enough to accomidate for the window so it should still work. However, you may need to cut the metal behind the plastic to fit the magnet....if you were to to something like this, it looks like you'd have to move the speakers over a bit. Otherwise....a new fiberglass door panel would look pretty sweet...it'd be a little easier than that damn dash piece i did since there's room to move it around. If i had a fox body door up here someone would be willing to to let me play with (and a separate workshop....my garage still smells like 'glass) it might be a fun project! tech 07-31-2006, 08:54 PM I know it would be sweet I have seen a couple done like that. I would love a setup like that but Me I wouldn't even know where to start. cbevis 08-01-2006, 02:08 PM but Me I wouldn't even know where to start. with an idea, pencile and a dremel tool. tech 08-02-2006, 09:42 PM But I guess I would have to make a Wooden Part first then put the fiberglass over it? Thats where I am Lost. It would be nice to have something from back to front at the bottom of the door panel. Will be buying new panels soon as well. So if I had something made I could just transfer. cbevis 08-03-2006, 11:32 AM You wouldn't need to make a wooden mold for something like this. the way i'd do it would be to take your door panel off and wrap it in selphane (sp?) +/- a little duct tape to make all the pockets. Then...because you've got such a large area to cover, i'd use the liquid resin stuff as opposed to the jelly i used. That enables you to soak the fiberglass sheets in a tub of the stuff and then lay it on the mold. it'll be messier but it'll make a better form and it'll get stiffer. It wouldn't be a bad idea to put some chicken wire behind it either....fiberglass it really flexable (or just put a bunch of layers of 'glass on it). If you're going to get some new door panels anyway, putting some screws or staples in your panels to keep the chicken wire in place may not be a bad idea. You could just grind em off from the other side when the fiberglass set. That's how i'd do it anyway. I ran into a problem with the chicken wire poking through the fiberglass because of how much i was sanding off. I should have put more 'glass on it i guess. anyhoo....i've gone on long enough. tech 08-03-2006, 11:22 PM Thanks one Day I wil give it a try. |
