RyanRosier Posted March 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 The best thing to do would be to have the speakers first so you can wire them up to low power and play with positioning. I see. Well I was planning to start this build by next week and have these all glassed up and finished and get me PPI's order twards then of march.. 2003 Chevy Silverado Reg Cab.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 That would be a bad idea, how would you even know that the pods were the proper dimensions without the speakers available for test fitting? You gotta slow down man, this takes time to get right. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

Like if it lists the dimensions of the speaker cutout, depth, and trim ring size and depth and just all that stuff? 2003 Chevy Silverado Reg Cab.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Dimensions are not always exactly as listed. Even if they were you can't get the same feel for it without having the speakers in hand to play around with.

bcbrassard Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 I just got these yesterday. Side project for wife's Malibu. Almost have a cardboard template finished, but this is close to the location i was thinking. These are Focal 4" Component set. Kind of big, with a mounting depth of 2" +. This could be tricky. Those look really nice. Thank you sir, you have taught me alot over the years. Been trying to apply it to the Malibu for a more SQ setup. Every time i do an upgrade the wifes loves the system more and more. I hope these will sound good. Running them passive off a P200-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3vil Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Go to YouTube and search for "caraudiofabrication" Mark is really good at explaining steps in layman's terms, and he's also pretty talented too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
