[email protected] Posted June 10, 2011 Report Posted June 10, 2011 SPRAY FOAM UP THE ASSHOLE LOL jk looks great how much you got wrapped up into this thing so far? i plan on doing realatively the same thing but having a set of component 6.5 and a 10 in EACH door and a set of component 6.5 in the a pillars nothing kick panel wise dont like the risk of them being kicked or getting snow or mud on/in them

That is for everything including the 30 extra stops I have made to lowes. I may be switching to a dash setup too. I can put a 6 1/2" and a 4" in the "a" pillars and use my tweets as my center. I have never kicked my speakers but they are really big and a pain in the ass sometimes. I may move the 10"s to the back and have the amps in between. Anything below 250hz is more or less omni-directional. With them in the back I can goto more of a stock look in the doors. They sound amazing on sixty watts. Don't know whether to put them in sealed or ported boxes though 2005 Ford Focus zx4 AMT's and Planars 18" Infinite baffle
Lbox88 Posted June 10, 2011 Report Posted June 10, 2011 If you throw them in the back, my vote would be in a sealed box between the seat and the amps on the floor pointing upward. I feel a ported box would give it a boomy-ness that would clash with the infinite baffle and the kicks. Just my 2 cents. UBL | Build Log
C-Fizzy Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 Wow. Let me start out by saying, your work is very impressive. I've only seen an incredibly small amount of builds on this site with this much attention to detail. I love your door pods. Or should I say, fully custom doors. Lol. I'm so excited to see what you come up with for the HU/EQ trim ring. I had a flip out in my car at one time, but because my A/C vents stuck out right above my H/U bezel, which left me stuck in the same situation as you. Now I'm tuned in for updates. Can't wait to see the finished build under construction I hate People with crappy primered cars rolling on hubcaps that are louder then me. u hate c-fizzy?

Anything below 250hz is more or less omni-directional. With them in the back I can goto more of a stock look in the doors. They sound amazing on sixty watts. Don't know whether to put them in sealed or ported boxes though 2300 is not that bad when you really get to thinking about all the fiberglass and foam you gots into it is that 2300 includding speakers and all equipment the only thing other than the kick panels in a small car like yours is the weight of your baffle to mea it seems like your shocks will go out on you soon with that much weight in there. but thats my thought who knows how your car will really take it, being that it is made by gm i would say it will take it like a man. i like the idea you have to get rid of those kick panels to prevent someone who is not used to them being there kicking them and ruining your speakers, to put them into your a pillars and your dash is a good idea too bad you bought 2 way components not 3 way if you had bought 3 ways it would protect your small tweets alot better than if you just wire them in but live and learn that is my phelosify(prob spelt that wrong oh well lol)i have never personally had "kick panels" per say but in my last car instead of tearing the door panels off i built a modded box on the tunnel in my interior of my old 1990 buick lesabre with two 6.5 3 way sonys. i had an old 10" woofer box sittin around so i chopped the fuck outta it lol to stuff two 6.5s in it facing the seat in it. so i know the chances of kicking it but i never did my self

Once I get them in boxes they can live up to their full potential. Even if it's only 60 watts. 2005 Ford Focus zx4 AMT's and Planars 18" Infinite baffle

Can't wait to see the finished build I thought I was overbuilding it. lol All the extra work has helped. The car sounds really good now without any eq'ing. The doors are a pain though. Even at 60 watts those tens are beating the crap out of the doors. I can hear the channel the window sits in rattling. I also need to add a layer of ensolite or jut to the back of the door panel. At high volume the panel resonates slightly. It's those little things at critical listening levels that create fatigue. Today is a perfect example. I was trying to listen to some portishead and I could hear the panel resonating. It was enough for me to change the song. It was all I could do not to pull over on the highway and stuff my t-shirt in between. hahaha I think tomorrow I am going to start to build the amprack and enclosure for the 10"s. I have an extra sheet of mdf and plenty of fiberglass so why not. Should sound better this way. If I don't like it the doors are already done. I can always keep them in there and fill them with concrete or something. lol 2005 Ford Focus zx4 AMT's and Planars 18" Infinite baffle
C-Fizzy Posted June 12, 2011 Report Posted June 12, 2011 I think you have a set of bionic ears. Go forth, and do work. I shall just sit back and watch lol under construction I hate People with crappy primered cars rolling on hubcaps that are louder then me. u hate c-fizzy?
