Great start looks good. Thx man. I agree, gta love the process n take pride in your work. But, if I had nothing else to do, I'd probably spend way too much time on this stuff lol On 6/20/2019 at 10:04 PM, Wishuponasub said: Great start bud. Welcome to the forum.

Epic Posted July 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 A bit of progress to date: First layer of Fiberglass and checking the overall layout and flow of the door panel. Getting it roughed in n almost ready for the duraglass. I decided since I'm already working on this, to go on n mold the seams, fill in the door light hole and remove some of the vents in the bottom of door... I'm going to mount some blue LED's behind the 3 remaining slots to come on when door is opened. Got it pretty close to how I want it, just cleaning up the edges and need to trim the foam inside the speaker holes a bit... And I believe I may be ready for a coat of Rage. Getting closer.

Not sure if I know what you mean by "open up the door"? ...But (aside from the trim panel above armrest and one that I'm making to balance out the middle of door) they will be painted black w silver pearl to match the outside whenever I get the rest of truck ready for paint. And I'm thinking of a 1" charcoal grey (possibly marbled w silver) stripe following the upper body line that I will continue into door jams and onto the door panel when you open it up.

Epic Posted July 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 Yea there was one, but I couldn't cut a hole for the second speaker because of the window assembly, so I decided to add a raised baffle so the magnets could clear the inner door instead. I considered only using one set in the factory location and use the kick if I needed more, but somehow I convinced myself that redesigning my door panel was the better option lol ...but also I felt like both mounted side by side would look better and fit the plans i have for the truck, so why not.

White Lightning Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 Please make sure that your baffles are secure to the doors directly and not depend on the door panel itself. It is rattles waiting to happen. Just ask me how I know ... lol Kenwood / HELIX / Linear Power (For The Love Of Music) / Brutal Sounds / OverKill Electric Co Questions About Sound Quality ??
