Miles Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 I got some money saved up from building a few boxes, so i finally broke down and decided i needed louder mids and highs. What came out of the door (and is not going back in) was some Infinity Reference series 6x9's. They sounded great off of about 40 watts, but this will be better. Plan is doing a Soundstream SME-804 and an Audioque Bullet Tweeter in each door. Will be receiving 100 watts per side. Just started on this last night. Right now i'm letting the second pod firm up, then will be putting a couple of layers of glass on them, then milkshake for the smoothness. Tell me what you guys think so far. Btw, this is only the 3rd fiberglass project i've ever done so i'm open for criticism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTL15 Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Looks good so far keep it up. Hopefully I can upgrade my electrical soon so I can get an amp for my mids and highs.

Miles Posted March 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Thank you. It is well worth upgrading to a mids and highs amp. I thought my setup was loud from the 25 watts a channel my headunit was giving my until i stepped up to 50 per channel. Now i'll be giving 100 per channel, so it should be very loud and clear. Pro Audio is the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miles Posted March 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 I'm connecting them with 6 wood screws through the back of the panel into the speaker pod. Very secure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h23a3lude Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Got ya.. i like that ideal of connecting it like that because then you can take it off if wanted and you've only got screw holes.. looks good so far man.

Miles Posted March 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Milkshake applied and sanded down. Next step is fill in any valleys with spot putty, and paint them. I'm going to do a Fleck Stone paint to match my kick panels i did a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miles Posted March 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 They are done! In the truck the pods are actually angled slightly up, so that's a plus. With just the component set and the AQ tweets in, it is very loud, and crystal clear. I can hear little aspects of music i've only barely been able to hear before (fingers sliding across guitar strings). I'm amazed at how good they sound, and also by how well the pods turned out. It's a perfect fit with about 1/2" clear from the kick panels and the floor. Still waiting on a reply back to see if my 8's shipped out or not.
