where are you from!

[CadillacMatt 31]

Feh.

I hooked the speakers up today to work on the imaging... and the tweeter is going bye-bye from the door pod. Sounded like ish and it's blocked by passenger's leg. I even tried placing it down in the kick panel, but it just sounded like I had a pair of speakers on the floor

I kept the woofer in the door and moved the tweet up in the A-pillar... BIG difference! Looks like I have a little bit more work to do before everything's done.

Will keep you all updated.

[jonbearsmt 919]

weird... i think most everyone says to run the tweeter near the mid driver,

my CDT's came in today.. i have to go get them from ups....

the bass buster 6.5 subs came in aswell......

im not sure where to mount my tweeters this time.. intrested in how yours turns out,

Yeah that's the same advice I heard when doing research on them... but they sounded like crap anywhere below the dash. The other half of that assumption though is that every vehicle is different. If I had a truck the kickpanel thing would've been a for sure thing. And the way my doors are it's near impossible to create a line-of-sight between the tweets and the ear.

I will probably end up attenuating the tweeters -3dB to make up for the distance thing... that is until I can afford an active-capable HU and a 4 channel amp

I will let you know how it goes man I should have everything finished by the end of the week. And I'll drive up there (or vice versa) when I get it done...

So the CDTs are replacing the comps you have in there now? And you're going to put the 6.5"s in your door? What are you gonna do with those sexy 8's you have ?

[jonbearsmt 919]

well... i had two pairs or alpine comps...

but when you seen it.. i had no door pannels.... so i had those BA 6x9s on the back seat...

but i have a few lincolns.. and a wrecker.. im gonna use those e8's no doubt about that!!

[Tmax98 3]

sry for cluttering ur log with this bs i can get mike to delete some of it if u like

[CadillacMatt 31]

It's all good man...

Back with some progress here. I ground the baffles down to rings and got them properly imaged today, mounted them with dowels, wrapped them in fleece and proceeded to slather them with resin

They look great so far... tomorrow I will grind off the excess fleece at work and proceed to bodyworking these bad boys... I also still need to cut the hole in my door panel. So here's what I got so far...

The pods set up for wrapping... Looks a little strange now but stay tuned

All wrapped up

Wetted with resin

Don't look at the backside... needs a lot of bodywork

[jonbearsmt 919]

very nice how did you afix the dowels to the baffle>?

great work man, you should take my doors! play with them:D

[CadillacMatt 31]

CA glue (aka super glue )

I had my buddy hold the baffle where I wanted it and took some measurements, cut the dowels and glued them in place.

great work man, you should take my doors! play with them:D

I'm tellin' you man those 8's would probably fit in your doors with some custom mods

Being how heavy they are they would need 2/3 times the about of glass I'm using but it could work

[jonbearsmt 919]

i would just do multi 6.5's

[CadillacMatt 31]

Still truckin'

Got the pods sanded down, the holes trimmed to size, and started some bodywork (will have to finish on Monday @ work with a DA, because the Bondo's too thick to sand by hand )

I discovered that one of my woofers has a small crack on the dust cap when the tweeter fell on it a few days ago... it's pretty small and not opened up or anything so I don't know how that will affect anything.

[jonbearsmt 919]

lookin good of course!... i have used rtv or silicone to fix dust cap crack crap before.

Thanks man.

The crack is so small at first glance it looks like a hair on the dustcap. You think a thin coat of clear silicone caulking over the crack would be OK?
