I have a Template made up. Now i need some MDF, i was thinking 3/8" or 1/2" max. The thinner i make it the faster i can transition into the A-Pillar.

Not 100% sold on this but with the right shaping it could look good.

Ya its going to have to. I am limited to shape, 3.5" would have fit better but i wanted the 4" and now i will have to make it look good. Still loving your system?

Tuned it up the other day and I'm loving it more.. going to try and throw some polyfill in there to get some more lows as they are lacking just a tad... but the enclosure is on the small side... but for the most part I can play damn near anything (considering I dont listen to slowed music), I just want more authority on the low end for when I play songs like "Future- Real Sisters"

Making some progress on the A-Pillars.

Turned out ok, now i just have to figure out mounting.

I like the looks of this better. Not sure what a difference it makes having the tweeters at the bottom. Further away from your ears. I will have to hook them up and see what the difference is.

This way is probably more correct. It just make it so big and more filler time to make it all look good.

Any thoughts ????

Really like that 4"!! tuned in for more !

Thanks man, Focal lists it as a 80mm driver. 3.25" is the cone and from surround edges 3.5" and the basket is 4". Gonna take awhile to get it mounted and ready for fleecing. Trying to get Lancer up and running over spring break.

Nice set of comps let's get on it.

Thanks, it will be a slow process. Need to get Lancer system up and running over spring break. Then i will return to the A-Pillars.
