06RTCharger Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Started sketching up and trying to make a template out of cardboard for my door speakers. After i have the adapter perfect ill be transfering the templates to abs plastic. Had to clear the metal door speaker area so i could have a flat surface. These lil P.O.S. tabs (stock bracket mounts w/screws thru these 4 tabs) were a bitch to get out, i ended up yanking them out forcefully with a metal clip removal tool. I tried to get them out correctly by compressing the inner protion on the inner side of the sheet metal but it wouldnt compress enough. Not fun working in the dark with a flickering flash light being held in my mouth to see lol need a head lamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06RTCharger Posted April 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 I mounted the stock bracket back on with tape for comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

06RTCharger Posted April 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Here it is with the door closed, checking the clearance it has from the bottom of my dash. Im trying to aim the upward toward me as much as possible to be a lil more on axis. Lots of leg room too. Shot from driver eye/ear level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06RTCharger Posted April 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Here it is with the door panel back on. I had to cut the door panel a lil and i had already cut out the stock grill. Also had to adjust the top two layers (out of 3 layers) of the adapter to clear the door panel easier, just by sliding those two layers down 3/4 inch. going to be doing some glassing work on these panels to have less of the door panels blocking the sound path. Just going to extend the circle to the left, making a more oval/tear drop shape. That will be further down the road. After these adapters are done ill be working on some dash pods for a 4and tweet.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 I probably would have turned that door panel piece intoa speaker pod instead of the way you're doing it, also the angle that its at with part of the door panel blocking part of the speaker is less than ideal. Nice work either way though. And i agree wirh kyle, instead of making a ton of different threads juat start a build log so its all in one place. 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.

I considered that but i wanted the speaker mounted to the metal instead of the plastic panel. Ill be clearing that portion of the door panel out thats blocking the speaker. Planning on more of a oval/teardrop shaped grill to account for that angle im using. Think im gonna use grill cloth. Maybe big holed mesh with grill cloth over it to keep it hidden. Thanks ill start up a BL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
