i have began thinking about the set up im installing in the front. just positions etc. im not rushing in with a jigsaw and fibreglass in this one.

the tweeter will sit in the original position but in a small pod to aim them at the driver.

the woofer....well i wanted to make pods but this wont give the best sound as the grill base will just resonate with the door card. once i get the door car off and see what i have to play with i will decide. i just want to hide these speakers away behind ugly speaker grills is all

tweeter position

ugly grills

potential pod. good size

comparison

Not my thing filling a car with speakers etc but looks like you've made a really good job of the speaker pods. Do you make installs for living? Or just something you enjoy making?

yeh not everyone thing i suppose. its just something i thought id have a go at after reading up alot. learn by doing i guess.

the setup might be changing in the doors now after speaking to a local audio specialist. going over there tomorrow to get some ideas of what i SHOULD do.

they said as is it will look nice but not sound as good as it could. fair play ill listen to them

Looks sweet!

cheers!
