August 6, 201213 yr Author I must have missed it but what drivers are they?The mids are Dayton Audio RS-100T, tweeters are Scan Speak D2904-60000 and midbass are JL Audio ZR800.BTW those JL's are amazing midbass! Narrow bandwidth but for strictly midbass frequencies they are awesome.
August 13, 201213 yr Author Well I decide that the midrange pods are too big. They just dont look right, sound great though. I have two sets of mids on the way to my house, one large diameter (well large for an a-pillar) and one small diameter set. Both have definite advantages. I will post picks of the midrange re-build when it starts!Onto the highs!Started with a lower a-pillar on axis design.Ehh I think I can improve on stage width by going off axis. After some more tuning higher up the a-pillar they go!As you can see the a-pillars are not finished (need more bondo and smoothing then flocking). I am waiting to try out the new mids and I will finish the a-pillars then Edited August 13, 201213 yr by edouble101
August 14, 201213 yr Author Thanks fellas! Hopefully my first time at flocking goes well. Any advice?
August 20, 201213 yr Author After hours of testing with three different sets of mids I finally found a set I am in love with And the winner is...... Tang Band W4-1337SDI wanted to mount the mid and tweeter in the a-pillar. I did not like the look of the dash pods. I was contemplating not using the Tang Band W4-1337SD due to it's size but it was the only driver that gave me the stage width I was searching for. The ability of these drivers to image the way they do is hard to explain. And here I thought my horizontal array imaged good, lol that is nothing compared to the Tang Band W4-1337SD setup!As of right now the pods are drying from flockingThe tweeter is will be mounted in the pods as well.
August 20, 201213 yr Author I eliminated a-pillar pods due to the size of the TB's they are 4 15/16" OD. Back to dash pods I go, these are smaller though in width (from left to right).
August 20, 201213 yr Author The notches in the midrange mounting rings are for the connection terminals to fit through easily.
August 20, 201213 yr Pods look great. Glad you found a setup that sounds good. I'm actually planning on using those TBs in some arrays for my room pretty soon, so it's good to hear another person liking them.

August 21, 201213 yr Author The pods are complete. The flocked pods are much lighter than what the fibers are in the bag. I should have used a darker base coat. Next up for the front stage is tuning Driver's side:Passenger side:I finished my carpet job in the car, I am stoked
August 21, 201213 yr Author Trunk is cleared. Z.3 18" and M3a have been sold a moth ago Only D3400 remainsUp next. VFL-450.1 (2) Z.3 15" and (2) D3100 to go along with my D3400Z.3 goodnessIt will fit
August 21, 201213 yr Author I have been using an Ohio Generator 275a alternator for about a month now. I cant wait to see how it acts on my stock PCM with +4500wrmsI had to machine bushings to make it fit.With my idler pulleyInstalled
August 21, 201213 yr Wow, every time I look at this log I'm impressed with your work quality. That photo of your dash looks so damn sick. Well done.

August 22, 201213 yr Author With my pods and kicks looked that good, lolThank you! The more time you put into it the more you get in return.
August 22, 201213 yr Author That dash idea is sick.. Must sound phenominalWithout any tuning the midrange is very strong. I am anxious to tune by ear then put an RTA on it.
August 22, 201213 yr I am never disappointed with your attention to detail! I really wish that I had your patience. The stealth factor is gone though haha!
August 22, 201213 yr Author I am never disappointed with your attention to detail! I really wish that I had your patience. The stealth factor is gone though haha!Thanks Rick.Yeah it definitely inst stealth any more, the pods are pretty obvious. Now I need to get my windows tinted.

Sadly tinting sometimes draws attention. The only reason that I haven't put new wheels on my car is the fear of theft. Can't wait to leave the top ten vehicle theft city of Tucson.Anyway there are very few people with build logs with better work, I will definitely view this a few times and attempt to use some of your methods. Your glass work is improving immensely.
August 22, 201213 yr Sorry if I missed it but how are the pods attached to the dash? That is badass, has me contemplating if I still want to do HLCD under dash horns or try this approach. Carpet jobs looks nice too
