How do the aqs sound im thiniing bout getting those and the supertweets

To be honest i have no clue and wont find out till my doors are done because i would rather wire everything once than take out seats and carpet each time i wanna run some wires for speakers. But once i get them playing im sure i have a lot of tuning to do.

Thank you everyone for the comments there will be more but mostly i do the work during the week as i try to spend time with the family on weekends

I also got started on the doors. A little bit at a time.

I have the ring cut out and it is wrapped with fleece just waiting to get glassed up

If you compare to the before pic you will see what i am going to be relocating the pocket area to the rear part of the door.

So i started to strip out everything all old wires remove the old speakers and start cleaning everything up so i could start putting deadener in.

My giant mess of wires that i have to take out. everything is zip tied and wrapped with electrical tape. Also all wires were soldered and shrink wrapped.

After i got the wires cleaned up and taken out i started to get test fitting the doors just to make sure they will fit still with the new speakers in. As you can see i needed to do some modified work here to make some clearance for the 6.5 and some more clearance for the pocket i relocated.

The Pocket area.

This is before I cut the area to fit the pocket. I forgot to get the after shot of the cut for the pocket. I could get a shot of it later but there is now deadener on it.
