Jimmie's 96 GMC2500 - Epic 1st "BUILD"

I told my wife today looked like a good day to chop up a perfectly fine door panel. She laughed... Did she think I was kidding? Lol

Playing around w positioning. I'd like to have the mids up a lil higher, but I want it to look like it was designed this way, so I may leave it... but I do like how the FT1 fits in that corner.

I'm keeping the door pocket functional and the baffle as flush as possible with the door panel. The mids may need a speaker ring to help the magnets clear the door though. We will see.

Ive got 2 PWX 6.5s and an Ft1 in each door... and I kinda like my Polk tweeters, so i will probably use them in the pillar... but I'm kinda diggn the pod how it is. Kinda basic, but a bit more tape n it's a wrap :D

Well the Polks dont keep up w all 4 mids, but when I only use the FT1 tweeters its loud n crisp, but by itself doesnt sound "natural" enough for my taste... I actually considered looking at other (Matching) tweeter options, but got too much money going out at the moment.

For now I'm only using 1 mid, 1 tweeter per door. Sounds good, I'd just like a bit more so I'm not putting too much strain on em. I'm actually seriously considering using a single 8" mid in each door instead of the 2 6.5's, but nothing is set in stone yet... got any suggestions?
