Pod Advice Needed

[reinke]

i just bought a set of crunh 5.25" component's. gts5.2c to be exact. i want to make pods for them. here is my plan. i want the speakers to be set i a V formation with the crossovers in the middle. how do i know how big to make the actuall air space for the woofers? i will try to upload a drawing of what i want. any help would be nice

Well yea a pic would help in this case (pending you can draw better than explain)

What you said would require 2 sets of comps on each side to make a "V" with the midwoofers.

If your not going to open your pods to the open space in the doors, then I would think the air space you create in the pod will do. If it sounds a little shallow then you could always add some polyfill

I doubt those woofers are made to be sealed... more than likely are designed for an infiniate baffle in a door, so I wouldn't worry about airspace and probably just cut the bottom out.

As for how to do it... this is how I would.

Start out with a base of 3/4" or 1/2" mdf the shape you want the whole piece to be. Next cut out rings for both your tweeters and midbass, use popcycle sticks or wooden dowels(cut them to the length you want to angle each of your components.

In the middle I would make one raised up piece for your crossovers about an inch or two. Stretch some fleece the whole piece, I would personally put another piece of 3/4" mdf over your middle crossover mount with a beveled edge right now... then glass it(but i do shit weird, and suck at explaining stuff on the internet).

So spread your resin... do a few coats, wait for it to dry then cut out the spots where your woofers and tweeters will go. Try to get as much resin on the inside also so it soaks all the way thru the material.

I hope that helps you some. I'm not a fiberglass master by far, but I've done a few projects.
