Looks REALLY good. Can you do the gauge trim ring in cf? Would be incredible.

1cleanZ · 01-27-2013, 08:37 PM

very nice! Looks OEM!

Any updates when you're gonna do the right side's A pillar?

Just need someone to order one

Sweet. Waiting to see pic of it installed. I may be your first customer for left and right sides.
Would love to see what kind of stereo imaging I could get out of these with some Small midranges in there, or some lower frequency tweeters.
Really nice work on it....

m3chhawk · 02-02-2013, 07:23 PM

Do you think there is enough room to do a triple?

I had a setup similar to what your describing when I was competing SQ in IASCA (different car). I also had some crazy time delay circuit going on as well.

RonRizz · 02-02-2013, 07:32 PM

Roger that. I run my system active as it is now, so I can change freq. crossovers, and time alignments for all speakers. precisely why i'm interested in these.

Can it be done. Yes... Barely. I would advise against it. Anything above the single pod interferes with vision. I will have pictures of a double pod soon and you'll see the space that requires. It looks good but does affect outward vision.

Looking good Gale. When are the install pics coming?

Mine is laying across my dash so I can test fit the ones I'm working on. I'll try to find some time tomorrow to install it and snap some pictures for you.

Felix 808 · 02-02-2013, 09:54 PM

Look forward to it Gale

Just curious, how much trouble is it to swap out the A pillar? General mechanics I'm fine, but when it comes down to detailed fit and finish

I would hate for it to look cobbled in after the great finish job you do on these.
