mmmm cake.

[Bigpete123 1]

Sweet. So I take you plan on using FG for the front of the woofer as well? I assume so since you're making speaker rings like that.

kind of, but not quite

the FG will be used to make a cover panel for my rear deck which will cover those rings

[Bigpete123 1]

nice, dude.

I cut the same sort of hole in my rear deck. It's very tough to make them pretty- it's not like putting a circle jig on a router.

Looking forward to more progress pics.

Where did you get those tweeters from?

[///M5 2,833]

Pacparts. XT19 knockoff cheap, same way they had the D2904's a while back. Bang for the buck, I really dig mine and they should work out stellar in Tom's car.

last updates before the SD meet

test fitting the boxes:

boxes complete:

being sprayed with truck bed liner:

wires:

[Acidburn 10]

the sub boxes are complete

peaking through the rear deck:

with the factory padding in place:

from the trunk:

and the new tweeters installed:

[///M5 2,833]

I love the subs peeking through, if my M weren't what it is I'd probably go that route albeit perhaps without the enclosure.

*clears throat*

YELLS: "Deaden your doors"

[Acidburn 10]

they are deadened... i've got about 25 sq feet in each...

well, it might be closer to 20 each now that a lot of the eDead has fallen off

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

Looks great tom, you do good work.
