Tom's door build (for now)

[tomypg]

Hey guys, finally got round to putting in some decent mids and highs in my car, a 1988 Honda City E. I have had some 100w 6.5 components in there, but need some more kick and some more mid-bass. This got me thinking of getting some cheap 8inch woofers and stick them in. But then found this shop closing down with 10inch subs for $10 buks!Thats like 6.80 for you guys! So I bought three, Blew up one and then putting the other two in my doors!

I allways end up rushing things and this is no exception! Haha

Anyways some pictures are uploading now, 150mb of them. So hang on tight. Only got one door done tonight, got a chem exam tomorrow, but afterwards the other will be done, sealed, doors foamed etc.

Hang on fellaz

Some more:

First hole, god it's whorey:

For the 6.5 mid:

It's out!:

After a clean up of the wholes I test fitted:

And then ran out to the car, tested it with my mounting system wich is basically some holes drilled with bolts. haha. And the wiper didn't fir over it... So I grabbed my wood file and started at it! Took soooo long..:

Then it got dark! Lol:

Cutting out the second one after tracing it:

Then shifted of to my mates house, his dad is a builder so I had all the tools I need and an extra set of hands!:

I have allways wanted to look pro with just the basket for testing :

Real one in:

Wiring it up, god it's a bloody mess!:

Batteries:

Sub amp Haha 2500.1:

All done at the moment:

Sounds great for having spent a total of $40 in speakers on just one door.

Comment away.

Good start, keep it up!

[Boon]

You're a kiwi right?

Where are you? I'm in Welly...

Another one on here, haha

[tomypg]

Thanks loganberry, this is my first kinda proper door build... Going to hopefully get into glassing stuff soon

Hey Boon, Kiwi for life mate! Haha, I'm up in Auckland but go down to Welly to play gigs sometimes. I wonder how many kiwi's there are... Me, you, bassl0va, who else! Once this gets down though I might road trip it to Welly for a car show or dB drag or somthing, got alot of work to do though. Lol.

Well got the other door done, had it in for about 2 hours, then had band practice at school. Parked in the school, with a mates car beside, someone broke my window, and literally ripped my amp out. My fusion NV AM2500.1d. God fucking dammit, they broke my rear left window. I had my wqallet on the bash and the front amp under the seat, they left those but took my amp and ran, didn't see or hear with band practice on....

So Donations anyone? Hahaha, I will pay shipping! This may take me out of the game... Doors sound great though!

[Boon]

That sucks man. I'm ultra-paranoid about security... was the amp screwed down? I generally make damn sure it's gonna take some idiot more than a little while to geta my gear. Long ass square head screws in awkward locations is a good way to start.

No insurance I'm guessing?

[tomypg]

It was parked in the school, checking the cameras today, nope no insurance. I did have it bolted

down but from working on it I just had it sitting there, and riiiiip!!! All gone... Left my other amp though, wats really

annoying is the window...
