kmalinich Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 i'd make the 1\4 ring out of a metal or plastic if you could, but that's a lot harder to do than wood.. and i'd deaden the whole pod inside, and have the lip of the deadening come to the edge... might have to drill through it to mount the speakers.. thats fine... just make sure everything is super secure... and as far as tweets.. a pillar is the best IMO.. next to sail... i like the look of sail better however, especially with swivel tweets.. point em right at ya. good luck bro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktm300 Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 To get the handle on your tacoma off, there are 2 little trim covers for the screws. Pry those off and there will either be a 10mm bolt or a large phillips screw. Take those 2 out and the handle should come right off. I mounted my tweeters on that black little mirror cover above the trim panel, but it depends on which style mirrors you have. As for mounting the midbass driver, there isn't much room. Most will hit the window or the trim panel, so it will take trial and error. I fit a set of 6 3/4 JL C5-650 components using the stock bracket but I had to modify it. Just make sure you use plenty of deadener and seal up all the big holes in the door too. Here are some pics of how I have mine set up, in a 99 Tacoma Extra Cab http://picasaweb.google.com/ktm300/Subs# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
