ptcary Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Nothing wrong with walmart fleece, I had bought some too. Once you get your speaker platforms glued and screwed to the pillar, sit with the pillar in your lap and stretch the fleece over it to see how it goes before you start attaching it. That is the point I got to and decided that the fleece was too difficult for me to work with and went to my closet for an old t-shirt instead. Fleece is thicker and will soak up more resin, so be prepared to mix up a bigger batch of resin. Here is my post, might help you with ideas. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...mp;hl=a-pillars PTCary 2003 SMD PT Cruiser 2011 Honda CBR 250R 2010 Mazda 3i Sport MY BUILD LOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: can i use particle board for them?? i got some birch from work but i didnt like the way it looked inside the speaker rings, and was wanting a more of a MDF look even though they wont be seen its still something i would rather do. 2006 F-150 4 DC XL M2 18's Walled Daily Driver XS Power 4 DC 3.5kw Team DC Team S.P.L.

dwright27 Posted November 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 this is what i cut freehand with my trim router ( made for veneer ) at work. they wasnt perfect but it was okay cause i was just testing out the "flush mount" tutorial idea that steve did. it didnt come out to bad but i didnt like them. If anyone wants i can get a picture of the 6.5's in there so you can get a idea of how much they arent perfect. And this is kinda like the placement im looking for. also picked up one of these that will go on in a week or so when the windows are tinted. 2006 F-150 4 DC XL M2 18's Walled Daily Driver XS Power 4 DC 3.5kw Team DC Team S.P.L.

If you decided to use a 6.5" or two per pillar, I would definitely make them out of MDF for the pure strength of it.
