3/16" Clear with 1/8" matte black over the top. The holes are for neo-magnets. Yup, neo magnet removable trim panels. Something that i came up with YEARS ago that lots of people do but nobody ever gives your boy credit. Oh well, if you know you know.

found my way in. 2 12ga skyhigh caraudio OFC for the 6.5’s and 2 16ga for the 3” mids and 1.5” tweeters. Each pod is made of 3 layers of 3/4” HDPE and bolted to the door. Ill get to hear them soon after i wire up the top layer (speakers already mounted). Getting close!

the doors are not wired up yet, i put the panel over the speaker pod to make sure there is no clearance issues. So far so good! I hope to have more done soon. Check back soon!😎
-
With the passenger side in i just need to run some wires and do some @Second Skinsound deadener before putting the panel back on. And it slips right over the top!
-
After checking for fitment, i took the top plate (1 of the 3) off of the pod and installed the speakers. I used small torx screws. Everything fits like a glove!
I also brought the pods out to the amp rack to make sure all my channels are working...and they are!

All that work to the passenger side...time to pull the driver side panel off and see if the stuff i did fits here too. I was worried there might be something in the way over here because the driver side usually has more going on (plugs, wires, modules etc). But it was all clear! Time to remove the factory 6x9.
the door pods fit great! 3 layers of 3/4" HDPE and bolted to the door. This is SOLID.

almost time to install them. I just need to mod (a few small changes) the actual door speaker pods (the 6.5's and 3's) down below and re-cut them. Then i can mount and wire them up. These panels slip right over the top

I think the top compliments the bottom pretty nicely and i love the placement! Now it is time to do the driver side and FINALLY think about running the wires!

I actually really like it just the way it is (black on black), but i think it needs a little brushed aluminum trim piece to break it up a little.

there used to be one factory tweeter in the sail panel. Now there is 2 B2 Tweeters in it. I used 2 pieces of 1/8" flat black acrylic offset to allow the tweeters to just barely poke through at the screens.
-
I think the aluminum looks much better as it matches the door handle. The suede matches the top piece that is also suede. It just looks like it belongs now IMO. Maybe not Y.O., but IMO it does. Next, i gotta finish the speaker pods that go behind the grills (see above pics) and pick a nice spot for the tweeters. Then i can run wires and call this project complete.
