SlamminBeats Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Ok so its almost that time (finally) to rip up my doors and add in some speakers. Let me start by saying i will be using a spare set of panels so i can rip them up how i want. Also, i do not want to move and mechanisms or switches. I have never done this before so im a bit of a noob but i know how to fleese and glass and fill etc so thats not my question. My question is more about getting the wood rings in the right place/ placement. My goal is to get at least 2 speakers in each door and then 1-2 bullet tweets possible domes if i run out of room. Take a look at the pics i have posted and let me know if my lay out will work. In the 3 pic where i drew my lay out, i wanna some how follow the red lines with wood and cut that all out so its a hollow space. The green stuff is an alreayd existing hollow space that i would have to some how bond my fleese with.. Is my lay out good?

razuuk004 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 WELL FIRST YOU WILL HAVE TO MAKE THE RINGS FOR THE SPEAKERS AND BILLET TWEETS, THEN YOU CAN SEE HOW TO LOCATE THEM ONTO THE DOOR WITH OR WITHOUT ANGLES. AND YOU NEED TO SEE IF IT WILL INTRUDE WITH ANY MECHANISM BEHIND THE DOOR PANEL. WILL SUCK IF YOU CUT A HOLE AND THEN SEE THAT THERE IS SOMETHING IN THE BACK THAT WONT LET THE SPEAKER SIT RIGHT.

SlamminBeats Posted June 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 i wonder if it would be better to cut separate rings or cut holes in one wood piece?? Now im sure its panel dependent but just by looking at my pics can you make a guess? i plan on just cutting out everything below the red line and leaving just a thin piece all around to wrap fleece around still and keep the outline shape of the door.

NO. CUTTING EVERYTHING BUT A THIN PIECE WILL WEAKEN THE DOOR. I WOULD TAPE UP THE WHOLE AREA UP WITH BLUE TAPE. PUT WAX RELEASE AND MAKE A MOLD OF THAT AREA AND POP IT OUT. MAKE THE SPEAKER PLACEMENTS ON THAT MOLD AND FLEECE IT UP. THEN YOU CAN ATTACH THE MOLD TO THE DOOR AND TRIM WHERE YOU HAVE TO My Build Logs: Door Panels: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/177508-door-panels-starting-new-02-civic/page-20 Speaker Box: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/160740-need-help-designing-a-box/ Carbon Fiber: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167381-carbon-fiber-use-this-forum-to-show-off-your-custom-parts/ Headliner: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/174476-headliner-re-invented-for-02-civic/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AS LONG AS THERE IS NOTHING OBSTRUCTING THE SPEAKER MAGNET. AND IF THERE IS. YOU CAN CUT OUT SOME METAL SO THAT THE SPEAKER SINKS IN AS MUCH AS YOU HAVE TO SO THAT IT WONT HIT THE SEAT.
