Lets try it this way instead.

I post them in the gallery on here and it makes it easier also, dont know if you tried that yet. Ya, unfortunately Ive tried that already. Even had Denim check it out on his end and it looked fine I guess. I dont know whats up but its never worked for me.

Your welcome! Just go to your photobucket account and copy the [ IMG ] code under the pic and paste into the post. Ohh really...Let me try that next time. Thanks again.

Thanks Old School 08 for posting the pics on here for me. For some lame ass reason I cant upload pics to the gallery. Thanks guys for the compliments. I now own seven Sundown Audio amps. I love them all!!!

Im sure there is a lot. Do you have another question in mind?

I am done building these pods!!! I cant believe its true! I never would have thought I would be able to make these. Its a whole new world now with all the possibilities! The last step is attaching them to the door panel. Before I go ahead and try out the velcro strips, does anyone have any ideas on how I could attach them? I want to be able to take them off if need be, so a super adhesive is probably out. They arent that heavy. Id say no more than ten pounds. pods are done!

Came home from work today and installed the speakers in the one pod that is carpeted. Its not as heavy as I anticipated. Im hoping to be able to attach it to the panel with velcro strips. Who knows. I figure it out when the other pod is finished. Any ideas guys? mli65 link

I got to carpeting one of the pods tonight and cut out the holes as well. I only had a couple of pieces of carpet to work with so wrapping them the way I wanted to was out. I had to form two seams in the carpet which came out well. It might be hard to see in the pics though but one is angled down the tweeter and the other is angled on the top. I think it came out good but Id really like to have it seamless if possible. Is it? Hopefully the other one will match well. After the other pod is carpeted, the speakers can be mounted in the pods. Then comes how I will attach these pods to my door panel. I dont want to use an adhesive because Id like to be able to remove them fairly easily. Then I can change pods in the future if need be. Ive put by far, the most time in this project, out of any car audio project Ive ever done. So far the friends Ive shown it to around the house seem to think it looks decent...What do you dudes think so far? mli65 link

Welcome dude.

Welcome dude.

Welcome dude.

3.3ft3 is a little large for fi specs. You only need 2.6ft3 and that amp should be fine for two of those.

I got the second pod trimmed and sanded up around the edges. I decided to try the aforementioned method and it seemed to have worked ok. I poured it over the chopped glass and wire, then stabbed it with a toothpick to ensure the resin settled all the way down. It dried well enough but still wasnt airtight like I was looking for. There was tiny spots between and around the wire that would allow air to escape. I decided to add some silicone on top of the fg to make sure there is a good seal. I used the silicone on the back of the panel also. There isnt any fg on the back because I wanted to keep the same form without getting thicker. Really needed to have maximum flexibility not knowing how the wire will be folded if at all. While at the same time keeping the enclosure airtight. Now on to the carpet. Stay tuned...mli65 link

Nice body work dude. Thats a tedious process there. This is how you deaden a vehicle! Strip that bitch and slap it on everywhere! Cant wait to see the sludge.

I like the new look. Im always a fan of black.

Try dc power, mechman, ohio, and iraggi to name a few reputable dealers.

I hope you are joking cause this is the backasswards way of doing it. Anyhoo, you should measure the max dimensions of your blazer and come back with that. Then you can start planning an enclosure size and all that.

These are turning out really nice. A little elbow grease goes a long way. Hand sanding? You are a brave dude. Are you planning to paint or vinyl these? Just wondering with all the bondo.

I added a couple of layers of mat today and trimmed out one of the pods. The top is not nearly as thick as the bottom is. Im sure its thick enough to produce a good sound though. I got a dremmel tool with all the accessories tonight and its a breeze to trim these up now. I love this thing. After the other pod is trimmed and sanded, they both will have a fixed run of speaker wire out of the back. I havent decided how to seal the hole back up though. I was thinking of chopping and shredding some mat into tiny pieces and filling it in the hole with resin from both sides. Just like you might do with sawdust and glue in the joints of an enclosure. Just a thought but not sure if it will work. Any methods or suggestions you guys would like to share? Im going to skip the bondo step and just carpet the pods when they are finished. Tack the carpet down with hot glue then affix it with the 3M 77 super adhesive. Or something like that. Hopefully I'll be able to blend the seams of the carpet. Havent had too much practice with detailed carpet applications. We'll see how that goes...mli65 link

The RMS is 1k watts. A couple hundred over will not matter. Stick with 1k-1500. Im assuming this is for music and not burping or anything, right?

Welcome dude. Nice collection you have there.

You can email Mark directly at [email protected]. The site is under construction so its the only way to get them.

Are you sure its not the crossover settings? Maybe you can switch the pair and see what happens?

Very quality work going on there. This build is excellent. I always love to see a blowthrough in a big truck. Youre doing it really well. Keep up the good work and more pics.

So I was at my local shop last weekend picking up some ring terminals for the big 3. I start tellin the owner what my new setup is going to be and wouldnt you know...hes talkin shit!!! Its not like I never bought stuff from him before. Hell the subs in my truck now are from him. So its like...Btl? Whats this? It looks like a spaceship. See look at those baskets. Thats an old style. People dont use those anymore...Sundown? Ya I think a guy came in here with that crap. 4500 watts? No, never man. Maybe 1875 at most...Yadda, yadda, yadda. I kept my cool and just let him run his mouth. I'll just let my system do the talkin for me. Cant wait to go back and blow that hairpiece right off his dome!
