JaM Customs aka mprete Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 they are far form what you guys generally do with fiberglass and stuff but i think they turned out really nice and the customer was super happy with them. what do you guys think? 5 inch hole saw for the holes we needed to use a 1 inch spacer foe the speakers to fit because they way the door was and the window motor was in the way. the speakers are alpine type Rs but he didnt like the grills that came with them and hes got a 10 yr old and didnt want him poking at the speakers so i had these infinity grilles laying around that i used instead we also did tweeters right above the 6 1/2s. didnt take pics of the 2 1/2in hole but im sure you all no what that would look like... so leave some comments, good, bad, or BS. i dont care. let me know what you think Quote 2001 dodge ram 2500 quad cab 5.9L V8 my build logs... dodge build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/94914-mpretes-2001-dodge-ram-2500-quad-cab-build-log/ trik build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/94447-trik-build/page__p__1298547__hl__trik__fromsearch__1entry1298547 box building thread- very cool designs (PICS!!!) http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/95713-2d-or-3d-box-pics/page__gopid__1318152entry1318152 i am a mechanic, pm me if you have questions or anything.

JaM Customs aka mprete Posted March 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 hey thanks a lot. it was only my second time ever actually cutting holes and adding speakers,its usually just replace them. but it was a good experience, i think in the summer i will get into some fiber glassing.

Ecco Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Personally, I wouldn't like it. It looks too.... "Placed". I like when all of the equipment flows in a design, whether they're in the doors, the trunk, or the roof, they look better when it looks semi-factory.

JaM Customs aka mprete Posted March 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 yea i no, i agree with that completely, i hate being able to see after market speakers haha, but its what the customer wanted, so i did it.

jconnway Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 i like it. of course a custom fiberglass panel looks cleaner but for what you were doing it looks as good as it could possibly. i say great job Quote Full Pioneer Build 4 Per Door - Front Door Build Up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sprkn_ranger Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Hey as long as the customer is happy, thats what counts! but I would have to agree that it does look just "placed" there. Im a big fan of flush mount speakers.

JaM Customs aka mprete Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 yea, this is just a side job that me and a friend run out of my garage. we do some really nice work for what we have and the experience we have. i personally dont really like how they look because they do look just placed there. but he wants to try to fiberglass them in so hopefully over the summer or when its warmer out i will have time to give it a shot. ive never done fiberglass before. but if anyone is in the chicago land area im in the west burbs and charge about half what anywhere else does. and you can see our facebook page with pictures of other cars we have done. our faxebook is Jam Customs. if you search that you will see a camaro with jam customs written in it and thats us. thanks for the comments guys i really appreciate it.

TeamHT Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 It doesn't look placed, it looks like it was just put there. And sadly, the recess doesn't give it good imaging and honestly just looks horrible there. It may be true the customer was happy with the outcome, they may even have asked for that specifically, but what I keep in mind every time I do work I remember everyone who looks at that is going to associate my name with it. Install is good but could use a bit more creativity? I could pm some ideas... Quote Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
