Charles Phillips Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Hey, I just installed some SoundQubed pro audio tweeters, but the problem is there is a little gap behind them since a flush mount was impossible in this configuration. What can I use to fill this space and keep everything looking stock? (or as stock as a 3" titanium horn can look) I thought I could build a tiny skeleton out of wood and use fiberglass in there, but I have no idea. Any suggestions welcome. - 2009 Toyota Matrix Base - - iPad 64GB - - miniDSP 2x4 HD - - PPI Art a200.2 - - SoundQubed SQ-2200.2 x 2 - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolarbilz Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Smh.. Well for one should made a fiberglass overlay where you wanted tweeter, then glue a wood ring (the same dia of tweeter)to the overlay.wrapped it with some sort cloth material,glass that then bondo sand smooth then paint it..then attach overlay to panel.t hen mount tweeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s5300 Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 If I were you, the first thing I'd do is to countersink those screw holes + find new screws to sit flush. After that, some sort of body filler maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk if it looks like it in the pictures, but it's not wimpy. I can see now that I was wrong, but oh well, learning experience. If I were you, the first thing I'd do is to countersink those screw holes + find new screws to sit flush. After that, some sort of body filler maybe? The screws were just temporary. Body filler is a solid idea. I've heard it's a pain to sand down, but I guess it's worth it at this point. - 2009 Toyota Matrix Base - - iPad 64GB - - miniDSP 2x4 HD - - PPI Art a200.2 - - SoundQubed SQ-2200.2 x 2 - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasteland_Audio Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Take black pvc pipe the same diameter of the speaker and cut out some half circles to fill in the gaps. At least the screws will be covered then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Phillips Posted December 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 I appreciate your responses! I decided it's not too late to make some fiberglass tweeter pods so I can keep my build A+. If I remember I'll post a picture when I'm done so I can get some opinions. - 2009 Toyota Matrix Base - - iPad 64GB - - miniDSP 2x4 HD - - PPI Art a200.2 - - SoundQubed SQ-2200.2 x 2 - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolarbilz Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 It will be more than strong enough if done correctly..I already see how I would get it done and quick to..such a easy job.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3vil Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 I'd just make some small MDF ring spacers, then hand sand them to match the contour of the pillar. Prime and then paint or wrap accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it would be easier for you considering this is my first time using fiberglass. I'd just make some small MDF ring spacers, then hand sand them to match the contour of the pillar. Prime and then paint or wrap accordingly. I probably should have gone this way, but I'm sure fiberglass experience can't hurt me. If I mess it up, I'll just practice until I can make fully new doors. So here's the progress. Waiting for the glue to cure, and then using fleece to wrap it and resin to make it stronger. - 2009 Toyota Matrix Base - - iPad 64GB - - miniDSP 2x4 HD - - PPI Art a200.2 - - SoundQubed SQ-2200.2 x 2 - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
