just a few pics so you guys know im stayin busy......there is 11 speakers in each door and i wanted to make the door panels easily detachable if they need to be removed. Pulling each and every speaker out and taking the wire off each one would be a pain in the ass so i decided to get some 9 and 12 pin molex plugs to make the wires detachable. They are all crimped and soldered...its gonna take FOREVER and what i am about to show you, i have to double that tomorrow because thats only half the job...

some nice Rockford Speaker wire...damn near endless roll

MORE molex pics. There is 11 speakers per door, 2 per a pillar. Each door needs 22 individual wires but using a plug there is a male and female "pin" for each side. That makes 44 pins per door. The A pillars have 4 wires but total 8 pins per side (for the plugs). Thats 16. So yes, i sat here and crimped, then soldered 104 of these suckers. Took forever and it was straight WORK so i will post em even if its kinda boring pics

i think theres gonna be a LOT of wiring in my future......this is just two doors and 2 A pillars

These are the A pillar plugs. I have 9 slots open but i only need 4 on each one.....

Heres the 12 pin door plugs next to the 9 (4) pin A pillar plugs

OK A Pillars are in and they look SICK!! Pics do them no justice. First the wire-pull pics.......i ran everything from the door into the cabin now i just need to get my xover network built (this week and weekend) and ill have a place to run the wires too.

MAJOR PAIN IN THE ASS........i managed to save the stock rubber grommets at least.

Now for the A PIllars........ok the black is very hard to capture on the camera so i had to adjust the exposure on them after they were on the computer. They may look a little grainy taking a dark black pic and adding light but you get the point anyway

Oh also, i dropped the door panels off today. Im HOPING they will be done this week!

.....just spending time laying stuff out and scratching my head

design subject to change without notice im still moving stuff around. Im going to make it look as good as i can but it will mostly be covered by the Nitrogen tank. Those things sitting on top are the brackets that hold the tank...

everything will be framed in and covered in leather trim. the 2x3's you see here are just so i can get an idea what its going to look like.

couple sneak peaks at one of the door panels.

Ok here is the deal, in order to use the leather it would need a GANG of stitching. Almost too much due to the shape of this thing. He told me it was going to be very "busy" and might look tacky. My other option was to use some GOOD vinyl, some german shit that they put in Mercedes and BMW...some shit that is AS expensive as the leather, so its not generic or anything. After looking at the material and what it was going to take i decided to go with the stuff that would be easiest to form and one piece too. We are still using graphite grey inserts and handles dyed to match so it will be sick as hell. Also, the seats and everywhere else possible it will still be the dope leather shit.

anyway here is what the one looks like so far......
