September 27, 201014 yr Don't worry, Rich got a little SPL breaking in this past weekend from 16 Blues 10's powered by 2 LP 4.1's. Pod's turned out great. I can't wait to see the shots of the box being built. That thing is insane.

Better watch out or we will be seeing her build on here.Thanks Rich.

Looks like your gonna be loud and sound good doing it, I cant wait till you get it installed and give your feed back.She's getting there man. I put some T-nuts on the pods and the speaker wire showed up today. Hopefully things work out where I can break away from work at some point this week and get a little done on installing them. You know you will be the first one to know. These may be the only mids you havent tried. lol
September 28, 201014 yr Author Looking really good. Thanks buddy. I will hit you up tonight so we can go ahead with that bracket and alt.Been dragging my feet getting down your way.
September 28, 201014 yr Ha Ha, you got a good one there buddy. Better watch out or we will be seeing her build on here.Thanks Rich.I don't imagine that will take much longer. TJ's did a high 148. Not bad considering it is not paneled off, just a big azz box sitting in the bed and no sound deadening. It is super tight sounding, very impactive, like a baseball bat to the chest.John

I told him I would have to sabotage it just to be on the safe side. LOLThats a good score, I hear you guys were pretty much installing it in the lanes.

October 1, 201014 yr Author O chit cant wait to hear the pods friday!!!If this rain is gone you will !!Hey, wait a damn minute............you better be ready to cut and glue.
October 4, 201014 yr Author Time for an update! Finally got the pods on the doors. I know the vinyl is not the greatest and I am 100% sure I will do them again one day, but no time soon. I got a box to build. Also, I tried to get too creative and wrapped the door pulls and power window covers in vinyl. Not a good idea. I will take my set from the other doors and have someone do them professionally with a stitch on the inside. I went with a darker brown (it looks much darker in the pics) because I am going to add some black vinyl to the doors above where the door locks are above the pods and also where the circular part of the door is around the pods. Reason i am going with this, is I have my eye on some black and tan seat covers and when I can see one in person I am going to get them. If I dont like them, I will have the seats redone black and tan professionally. WAY out of my skill set there. I will paint the rest of the interior as needed to match the black and tan theme here, but all that is for another day! Here are some pics of the front doors. This was easy as I did this on my last build. lolQuick pic of the Clarion. Poor thing is so ugly, but damn it's a great HU for the money.Used what I had left from my last install to deaden and seal the rear doors. I ordered some more ensolite and will put that over the entire door when it gets here. I only had a little bit left but did use that for now.Big Ass Hole hereDidnt have a good way to bolt the pod to the door, so had to improvise. Cut some steel and bolted it to the door with lock nuts.Sealed it up the best I could for now. The front pods are bolted directly to the door and vent through the factory speaker opening. I used 6 bolts per side, they aint going no where. Got to dig my old kick panel covers out the attic as I dont need the Q forms anymore. Anyone with a Yukon/Tahoe need some, hit me up.On to the rearMy first impression of this set up --------- I Love It !!!!!The super tweeters and B&C mids are DAMN loud and clear as hell. I have lots of tuning to do, but this is exactly what I hoped it would be and will make a great ground pounder set up.Crisp, clear vocals and highs and loud and punchy mid bass. I am VERY surprised and the midbass I get with these. Way more then I was expecting. Very happy about that.I did a 126.34 drive by with the Dynaudio and current subs, cant wait to see what this one will do when I get the other subs and amp in here. lol Opinions and suggestions are always welcome.
October 4, 201014 yr Im jealous bro, looks sick and loud. Hopefully one day I can hear this bish, I spy a Crunch Ground Pounder 3000
October 4, 201014 yr Damn buddy those came out so good. seeing you do your pods make me feel comfortable enough to wrap my a-b-c-pillars in the work truck. thanks Bro!
