Welp. Been long week at work. Been even longer day in the shop today. Sometimes you need to take more apart then you put back together. This was one of those days.

Had to pull the real panels to run another set of speaker wires. Had no real plan to address these until we pulled them. Not sure what the plan is yet, but they can't go back in like this.

For those interested to know. these were wrapped in headliner material. under that was a glued to hell foam pad.

Pretty pimp.

Currently they are over in the corner of the shop. Something I can glance at till I figure out what will look nice.

Will wanted to try his hand at wrapping the kicks. Lets just say....... Kicks -1 Will - 0

Batteries came in. I picked the 925's because they were the ONLY ones that will fit behind the amps.

2 on each side.

Tight fit but they will work behind the amps

Once I had the batteries for the amp rack to rest up against, I could angle the feet for the rack.

Bolted the rack to the floor with rivet nuts.

One plus to a rebuild is having old work to template off of.

Router out for the trim panel.

Then another level for the amp guts.

Might work.

All that work to have the floor eat up the profile of the trim. Tomorrow i get to redo the trim.

Final mockup of how the door should look.

Transfer all my measurements and mounting point to the door.

Rivet nuts to hold it in place.

Got Will trying his hand on the scroll saw.

Was a long slow day. Even though it doesn't look like much was finished, A good amount of progress happened today.

Started out cutting up a perfectly good sub. Added 1 amp changed the coil requirements so recone time it was.

While Will worked on wiring. I worked on final fitment of the door panels. Word of the day was "sanding" I can tell you one inner door skin is longer then the other one. If you want to know which one, I gladly take cash to tell ya

Since the speakers are mounted to metal plates, I had to adjust my depth of the panel to match the flush mount of the speaker.

Started out by cutting out the metal mount location where it meets with the panel.

I then took some 1/4 and matched it up with the panel and the center point of the speaker.

The speakers are angled slightly towards the driver

Little ca glue to hold it in place.

Added on the top trim and feathered in the filler.

Couple thin coats and they are done.

Pow! ready to be covered.

One of the things that bug me is the uneven reveal along the side of the door. Most people wouldn't notice. But its something I do and I worked hard to help straighten out that line. Even thought the factory panel was my template for making these.
