As you may have already noticed, I’ve posted nothing last months. About the doors I was making,there has been a drastic change.

After that I put the doors on a strict diet, they were still going to too heavy for me. I’ve put a really big amount of work in them the last couple of months, but hey…the world didn’t end.

The only thing I know is that again, I learned a lot about milling.

I am now working on making something totally different. In terms of weight, this is much easier because I do not go play in a closed casket..

The design will be totally different!

This is the part where the Focal subs will get in.

It contains 3 layers of MDF.
The upper part is the part where the speakers will be mounted.
In the middle is an outer ring. These 2 are nicely rounded and will be glued togehter later on.
Underneath there's a little sloth of 4mm of MDF which will be placed between the outer ring and the spakers.
Later more about this...

Because I'm not a partisan of tightening speakers in mdf, so I milled some Volkern (trespa) rings on the back.
I glued these on the mdf. So I can mount the speakers firmly without worrying the screw will loosen.

This plate of 8mm thick is a mold I've milled. Later more about this.

You can see that this sloth will be at the back.

In the meanwhile I've already finished some things on the 2 doors, so updates will follow shortly

These are about all the parts I have ready for the doors. This is from the left, and fort he right, everything else is also ready.

Because the part of the speaker will “float” against the doorpanel, I milled a 8mm thick plexiglass

P1030397_resize_zpsnjsfd4ik.jpg

On the inside of the plexi I’m going to paste a orange led strip
Once the interior lighting is on, everything will glow up nicely through the plexi

P1030399_resize_zpsx1xf1tcf.jpg

This will beo ne entire part, mounted against the original door.

Here you can see the plexi

P1030401_resize_zpsz0ticqyi.jpg

The MDF around the spakers, will be covered in a layer of carbon fiber. But this shape needs to have some roundings before I start.

Here you can also see I made a little bin.

P1030406_resize_zpseipqxle2.jpg

Then I made a piece of polyester to give it a nice finsih.

P1030409_resize_zpsakpxpeib.jpg

I remounted the basereflex. It won’t be functional anymore, but I thought I put a bit too much work into it to throw it in the bin.


Al these things will be screwed and glued on to the door until it’s one entire part.
Once this is dry, all the holes from the crews will be covered up. And then filler will come over.
I’ve already done this with the right door, and it looks pretty good I must say.
