Ideas, On Split Door Pods?

[kezza]

Has anyone made pods to fit a set of 6.5 RF splits???

At the moment i have them mounted into the origanal spot were the old super sound speakers were.. but it seems to me they need to be out more and not so hidden away!

any help would be great

To have pods on the 32 doors you would more than likely have to be fairly handy with the glass. If you or someone you know is handy with fibreglass grab a spare set of door trims from the wreckers and be creative!

If you don't want to go to that extent and are really only after better sound, some decent sound deadener on the doors, focusing around the speaker area will greatly improve sound. You could also try making up a bit of MDF to mount the speaker on to get rid of some resonance as well. In the end its just another case of the more time and effort you put in the better the end result!

I have made a set out of fibreglass and they looked quite nice. But also we make them at my work. Do you just need ideas or someone to make them?

see thats where im different when i bought new speakers my main concern was to keep them in the stock location nice and hidden away so nothing looks out of place

thats just the way i wanted it which is cool considering i dont have to worry about the same stuff you do

i have to agree, i hate the dip in the middle of the 32 doors..

but not nearly as much as i hate the r32 dash.

well, the instrument cluster surround anyway..

i have a spare set of door cards, and dash, so when i get the 32 back i'll be making full custom doors and dash.

and getting the whole interior re-done and cleaned up

this thing's gonna look like a aston martin when i'm done with it!

but seriously, if your any good at diy,

get a spare set of door cards, do some research on fibreglassing and try it out, you'll enjoy it...

cool sounds like fun.. I dont mind the R32 dash, lots of options for making that look better such as CF surround and some white faces..

But i do have a hatred feeling for the door cards.I consider my self very handy with car mods but just wanted to know if anyone has done it b4.. LMAO speaking of spare parts, i have a set of stock front guards im going to mod with FG and make some trippy vents. Should be good.

Any one know of a site that deals in FG add on vents?

I have read thet you can fit up to 6x9's in there, 6.5" will fit nicely - If you check the mounting depth, I didnt and ended up having to make angled pods with MDF and a lot of glue, sticky tape and chewing gum cost my sanity dearly. Check out the sticky for the bracket template.
