audiofanaticz Posted December 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 So I got some bnib loaner gear that has been sitting at my house now for maybe a year and a half for a friends car, but I just cant justify cutting up expensive door panels so its been on hold until some show up at a junk yard. In the mean time I have zero front stage. Unless you count the selenium 6 and the advent out door speaker which is blown but has a working tweeter, both being powered off the headunit with a scrap piece of wire running out the dash. Yes, very ghetto! So I figure I might as well build a temp rear fill that will run along the bottom of the wall behind the front seats. It cant be any worse than what I had, and will most likely sound way better than the old front stage due to the rf 3SIXTY.2 I got 6 of these neopros sitting here, but 4 should do alright. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audiofanaticz Posted December 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 same problem on the same window?? shit. did you put in a brand new window track last time? I guess its not so bad since I imagine the doors are coming off for the neos Yes same window, but no the doors are not coming off for the neos. Im not going to fiberglass my doors one speaker when I will be most likely using different ones when I decide. looking foward to the next part of your build mate Hah me too! But with the weather Im not doing anything major or permanent at this point until next spring Will upload some pics in a few what I was building last night. Need to then get back out and finish it, didnt feel like using the router last night and getting covered in sawdust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiofanaticz Posted December 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Ruff cut on the wood for a mid/tweeter enclosure A little build up for over the transmission hump in the floor Now Im just test fitting the front back and side panels to get an idea in my head for an angled top Looked to be a decent angle for the top Now to find out what degree that angle is for the side cuts and the front and back piece Now to take that found angle to the table saw Perfect Both front and back panels cut, now for the sides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiofanaticz Posted December 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Here is where it gets fun, and you may learn something about cutting odd angled side pieces like these on a table saw This is the angle i need to cut at 16.4 degrees, I need 2 of these for the sides, sure you could free hand them with the table saw and hopefully dont get any kickback or use a jigsaw or circular saw but how smooth the cut ends up could vary significantly So first up I had to duplicate the same angle on my other side piece Notice the gap in between the wood pieces and the saw fence, no way to use a fence for a straight cut like that unless..... Grab yourself some double sided tape, Im using 3M because its readily available at a store, but you can order much cheaper and thinner template tape as well Pealed off the top of the tape and stuck one side piece to a square piece of scrap wood (it must be a straight piece of scrap) I lined up my drawn on line with the edge of the wood Next I stuck the second side piece on to the scrap piece of wood What this will do is give me a straight edge to ride along the fence to cut the angles nice straight and true Now both side pieces are cut at the same time Pry the cut panels off the scrap wood and of coarse check to make sure both are cut evenly from side to side Now its time to start assembling the side pieces to the bottom that I already assembled Now I can go and attach the front angled piece I always spread my glue evenly with my finger after applying it to the wood this way I dont have to rely on pressure to spread it 100% Turn the enclosure over and now its time to do the back panel Now all sides and bottom are assembledI will use a flush trim router bit to cut out the middle hump on both sides of the panel once the glue has dried which I didnt feel like doing last night Just cutting out the speaker holes and putting the top panel on 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audiofanaticz Posted December 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 All thats left is find some scrap wire laying around for speaker wire, hopefully I have enough! Top panel cut Marking lines for the mids and tweets Speaker holes cut Top panel glued and nailed onKeeping things square really makes those seams look nice Rounded over most the exterior edges Transmission hump routered out Had to notch out the top tweeter holes a little due to the angle on the top Also had to do a little itty bit on the bottom tweeter holes Finally time to test fit the speakers I guess it looks alright and should work for now 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
