codi Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 whats up again guys, tonight i got a little creative on paint.net (well tried) and came up with an idea i kinda wanna do with my rear speakers (since i got speakers bigger then the factory ones) i wanna kinda have them potruding out of the factory piece and kinda of facing more towards the front of the car here is the picture i came up with. let me know if any of you have other good ideas that might work. also when doin that should i make a little fiberglass box for it too or just have it free air?

codi Posted January 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 sorry there has been no progress im trying my hardest but with weather like what i have been having its not happening much. how ever i did primer my bumper today which is awsome. and ill get a picture soon of what that big crack looks like now. also not painting it yet, just gonna do the whole car later with a new color thats kicking around the shop, or any suggestions on what would look good and after i fix my car so i can drive it again im gonna have it in the autobody shop getting ill fixed up and might be able to build some pods for the front components i want to get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namosh Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 As long as you're glassing those kick panels, you might as well enclose it and get a little better midbass out of them. And paint it black! Quote My Ram Quad Cab Blow-through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

codi Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 also so every one knows i just stumbled apon a new job:D alot better then the one i have now. so instead of only like 7 hours a week making like 8.25 an hour (minimum) im making 12 an hour and 15 hours a week (and possible extra time very often) , only problem is its a 45 min drive for 3 days to work and back but not bad with my little car which is still pretty much all torn apart lol but after a month or so im buying a new car to get back and forth to work on those days so i can actually get progress on my car, and also with this job im really gonna upgrade on every thing:D. so dont you all start worrying about my work soon it will be starting up again and pics will be floating your way kuz every one loves pictures:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Bassick - Kimo Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Do you have open the rear covers to fit those speakers? Looks like they'll drop right in. As for the front speakers aren't they 5x7's as well? If they are just make a plate out of 1/4's mdf the same as a speaker and mount some components on it. If not a matching 5x7 would be good enough for the front. Kick Panels are great but, I assume you are on a tight budget and minimum amount of resources.

codi Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 (edited) ya the rears you take out those plastic cover things and the speakers fit to the bottom and then drop that whole piece back in, and i thought the ones i got were the right size but no of course not why would they be. so now i need to do a little custom work to them and as for front speakers im pretty sure they are 5 1/4" in the doors and im not 100% sure whats happening there yet though, im still in a planning out zone kuz right now money is tight but right away with this new job i should be getting more money. and then it wont be as bad and as for material i know a guy who can get me every thing i need and can help me build it all pretty much. ill take a quick picture of how the rears are supposer to be and what they are now with the new speakers Edited January 26, 2008 by codi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
