JNells Posted August 7, 2014 Author Report Posted August 7, 2014 Dont do it! LOL Make dash pods for mids, kick panels, redo front door.... anything but rear door speakers! trust me. Not worth the money or time sitting in the front listen position. Now if you got $ to blow for looks then do it but it wont add to the system where it counts. Car looks ready for the show. And yes I'm putting them in the front doors, and the XXX in kick pods.. I think I can pull it off without having to move the Parking brake. I'll probably just have to sacrifice some foot room Malibu Build Log
JNells Posted August 9, 2014 Author Report Posted August 9, 2014 (I just set the baffles on the pods for the pic... They aren't in position or secured) Malibu Build Log
JNells Posted August 9, 2014 Author Report Posted August 9, 2014 And since I was just told the owner of my house is selling and I have to move.. So trying to do this somewhat quick and use up my supplies so I don't have to move it... I thought about detaching the bottom half of the OEM panel and glassing the entire bottom portion, but due to time constraints and budget cuts, I decided to go with this temporary setup using my existing pods. I am also going to try and salvage the flush mount ring for the XXXs for kick panels. Reduce, reuse, recycle, is the name of the game here lol. So yea, they probably won't be as "pretty" as I would've liked and I won't be able to add all the design elements I want, but hey it's function over form for now... Malibu Build Log
bcbrassard Posted August 10, 2014 Report Posted August 10, 2014 Sweet start! I am sure it will turn out great. And you'll be done before me. Lol
JNells Posted August 10, 2014 Author Report Posted August 10, 2014 Speaker baffle sanded and mounted.. Still need to clean them up a bit, but then fabric wrap and glass Malibu Build Log
JNells Posted August 10, 2014 Author Report Posted August 10, 2014 Sweet start! I am sure it will turn out great. And you'll be done before me. Lol Thanks, it was painful making that first cut into my pods... We had a moment... I had to explain "it's ok, you're going to a better place" lol! For real tho, it was hard. But so far so good I think, given the circumstances... It's gonna be a rush job.. Malibu Build Log
