crw092782 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Here is where I tried a few different ideas trying to get the best end result. Not bad, but something is missing... Yup, you guesed it. I forgot to make the step down rings so it sits flush to the door. Back to the cutting again. Losing daylight, time to move inside. After I came inside I started to mock up how I wanted the speakers to sit. The one thing I want to do is incorporate the grills from JBL. I think they look amazing. The problem is, they won't work with the rings that I cut last, so I ended up using the first set I made without the flush mounts. Like I said, this is a learning experience for me. This is how they sit right now, I am just adding the rest of the braces to finalize the set up. More pics to come. 2004 Pontiac Vibe Build Sony MEX-N5000BT JBL P660C x 2 Sundown Audio Zv4 18 Crescendo BC2000D Crescendo S800/4 Execution Audio 0 AWG Wire Sky High Car Audio RCA's Toolmaker Terminals XS Power D1200 DC Power 240HP Alternator Viper 5706 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crw092782 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 After I get back from lunch with my mom, I plan to get right back at it again with the door panels. I hope to have the fleece stretched and the first glass done by tonight. 2004 Pontiac Vibe Build Sony MEX-N5000BT JBL P660C x 2 Sundown Audio Zv4 18 Crescendo BC2000D Crescendo S800/4 Execution Audio 0 AWG Wire Sky High Car Audio RCA's Toolmaker Terminals XS Power D1200 DC Power 240HP Alternator Viper 5706 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crw092782 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 After messing around last night for a bit, I decided to not use the speaker grills (even though I like them) and use the flush mount rings I made. I was looking at pictures on a google image search and it looks a lot better to me when they aren't surface mounted. 2004 Pontiac Vibe Build Sony MEX-N5000BT JBL P660C x 2 Sundown Audio Zv4 18 Crescendo BC2000D Crescendo S800/4 Execution Audio 0 AWG Wire Sky High Car Audio RCA's Toolmaker Terminals XS Power D1200 DC Power 240HP Alternator Viper 5706 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crw092782 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Here is how it sits currently. I am thinking about where to mount the crossovers still. Been playing around with a couple of ideas. 2004 Pontiac Vibe Build Sony MEX-N5000BT JBL P660C x 2 Sundown Audio Zv4 18 Crescendo BC2000D Crescendo S800/4 Execution Audio 0 AWG Wire Sky High Car Audio RCA's Toolmaker Terminals XS Power D1200 DC Power 240HP Alternator Viper 5706 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crw092782 Posted May 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 It has has been raining here for 5 days. Today was the first day I was able to do any sort of work on it. When I was mocking up the speaker rings, I didn't like the setup. The rings were cut with a jigsaw and are not perfect. I am worried that this will show when I glass over them. I ordered a Jasper Jig today and went out and bought a plunge router. This should make me happy once they are perfectly round. 2004 Pontiac Vibe Build Sony MEX-N5000BT JBL P660C x 2 Sundown Audio Zv4 18 Crescendo BC2000D Crescendo S800/4 Execution Audio 0 AWG Wire Sky High Car Audio RCA's Toolmaker Terminals XS Power D1200 DC Power 240HP Alternator Viper 5706 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crw092782 Posted June 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 This has been a long few weeks. My father just finished his 6 weeks of radiation treatments and we are just waiting for his follow up MRI to find out if it worked or not. As far as the car is concerned, I have hit my second wind now that I know he is done with his stuff. I started working on the doors again yesterday. Here is what I have so far... Rings glued down, waiting for fleece. Fleece on After mat applied. (Yes I know there are bubbles. This was my first time doing this and I have learned a lot so far) I trimmed the edges away and did several test fits in the car and everything looks good for clearance. I am going to start the bondo work right now and hopefully finish them up this weekend. As for the crossovers, I decided to mount them to the back side of the door panel so they are tucked out of the way. 2004 Pontiac Vibe Build Sony MEX-N5000BT JBL P660C x 2 Sundown Audio Zv4 18 Crescendo BC2000D Crescendo S800/4 Execution Audio 0 AWG Wire Sky High Car Audio RCA's Toolmaker Terminals XS Power D1200 DC Power 240HP Alternator Viper 5706 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
