Hello guys, I'm Yannick from France, I'd like to share a bit about my current build.

 

Here is the setup, which was made for 2020 (never seen a show to this date due to CoViD restrictions here).

 

The car is a Dacia Sandero (French/Romanian small car), small engine (4 cyl 1.5 Liters 68Hp lol).

 

I have it since 2013, and it has seen couple of builds (started with single 8", then single 12", single 15, 8x12", 4x15") and it's currently on the second and probably last 4x15" setup.

 

So, for the speakers :

- 4 x 15" BassFace (English budget friendly brand) XPL15.1SPL series subwoofers -- 5000wrms - 4" Flat aluminium coils - D0.7 - 93 pounds

- 14 x 8" Audio Premium Selection (Spanish brand) M88HS series midbass -- 225rms - single 8 ohms (7 per door)

- 6 x 3" Audio Premium Sleection T68 series tweeter -- 200rms single 8 ohms (3 per door)

 

For the Amplifiers :

- 8 x Stetsom Vulcan series 5000wrms -- 1 per subwoofer coil wired to 0.7 ohms

- 2 x Stetsom Vulcan series 5000wrms -- 1 for mids per door wired to 1.14 ohms

- 1 x Stetsom HL1200.4 series -- 4 channels bridged (2x600wrms) wired to 2.67 ohms for the tweeters

 

Miscellaneous :

- Pioneer DEH 80 PRS head unit

- BassFace 6IN/8OUT DSP

- 600Ah of Winston LiFePo4 + custom copper bars + brass screws

- Mechman Elite 370A under the hood

- Stetsom Infinite 200A - 200 amps supply if needed

- Everything has 100% OFC wire (Power / subs / mids / tweets....)

 

 

The car is fully running, I'll throw pictures following the order I made the build, as long as with the test scores :)

Videos will follow also as we're not locked at home anymore in France :)

 

Thanks for reading me guys (and girls) !

I always made my door panels with the stock panel, some wood and fiberglass, but for this build I wanted to do something stronger.

 

By reading and watching what you guys do in the US, I went with a simple design.

2 wood boards, one at the back of the panel agains the metal frame of the door, and one holding the mids and highs.

 

First I made a thin board matching the form I wanted to give to the, then copied it to a thicker board, I put M8 (5/16" I think) bolts through the original holes in the metal made for plastic clips to hold the OEM plastic panel.

These bolts would later hold the final pannel without making more modification to the OEM door.

With that first done, I copied my "test" board to thicker boards (1" MdF), I used some wood pieces screwed and glued to hold the assembly together.

 

Then I glued the panel and wrapped a blanket before going wiht the resin / fiber glass process.

How did you mount them door pods to that metal door skin?

 

As I said (maybe I wasn't clear lol), I put M8 bolts where originaly the plastic OEM pannel is clipsed.

Then I just made holes in the wood to be able to put the wooden pannel against the metal frame, through the bolts, and secured with locking nuts.

I'll try to find a photo of this.

 

You can already see the bolts here when I made my test board.

I'm not sure to have more photos of the bolts.

Of course as you can see in the picture above, there are not many bolts and they are short. This was a test fit.

 

On the finished door I have longer bolts, 10xM8 + 2xM6, I had to do with as many because the wood + speakers only weight about 80 pounds.
