Loooove my Festool track saw, never been easier to cut out a hole in the middle of a sheet. Just mark up the cutout, place the track on the line, and saw away smile.png Wanted rounded corners, so I stopped a bit short, and cut the radius with a jigsaw. Easy peasy smile.png

Guts already posted I see :) These amps were only made between 1999 and 2000, only a hundred or so was made according to a Sony rep back then. I have two of them. Could not fit both in the car though :D

This is how the midbass driver is mounted, seen from the front of it. Originally the door speaker is mounted on the plastic map pocked that is screwed to the cardboard door card. And this is held on by plastic clips to the door itself. So what I've done is made a baffle and spacers from MDF, bolted to the metal door skin itself. These are bolted flat to the door skin. But the OEM speaker placement/door pocket is angled towards the pedals a bit, this becomes very apparent when viewed from another angle:

And even more so when viewed from my view when sitting in the car:

This tunneling effect will affect sound waves somewhat, and I've also gotten feedback from pretty much every judge and seasoned competitor that have listened to the car that door-mounted midbasses playing directly towards each other often will cause some phasing issues (which is present here, Joakim has kind of worked around it with different crossover points and slopes for each midbass driver to make the best of the current situatuon). I think that modifying this mounting position so it mimics more of the stock one with speakers more in line with the speaker grille maybe would solve these issues. This is a trial and error build afterall, not just a blueprint copy of something that works in another car.


It's easier now to make adjustments to a finished product, than when starting from scratch like I did this spring with the doors. Just wondering what solution and material I'm going to go for.
