Looking good man. In for updated pics-whacha going to cover them with?

 

Thanks... I'm going to cover them in suede, I mite do one tonight if I don't get lazy tonight... I need to finish this part up by Friday I still have a lot more to do.

Hey cdoxp800....Not trying to jack you tread just trying to give a little info to who ever it'll help...

 

Done!!!
Covered and installed them Saturday….not perfect, but the flaws are not visible. Now on to the next phase.
Im sure the experts do it different , but this worked for me
Quick break down of what I did.
Took to tweeter with me to Home Depot(For fitment) got some pcv plumbing.
Brought a circular saw drill bit (Diameter of the pcv vavle)
Drilled out the hole on the A-pillar plastic for the pcv. (you may have to drimel a little, but tight fit is good)
I put a little glue on pcv back inside to keep it stable while you put a little bondo around the pcv.
The bondo around the pcv serve as a fill in for the next step it should be a smooth transition from the A-pillar leading up to the pcv like a ramp. (don’t forget to sand, I used 150)
Get a T-Shirt that’s stretchable and stretch(Stretch it tight!) it over the pod area and staple it in the back.
Put 2-3 coats of resin over it
After resin is dry go over it with bondo , let dry, and sand it smooth.
Cover the A-pillar with whatever you’re going to cover it with vinyl or suede(use the 3M adhesive in the green can)

 

^^ Nice work! Thanks for posting the details/instructions.

Thanks Spike, still running wires and got to get the head unit,but it's coming along

 

Pillars look great! Nice job. How do you have the tweets firing? Are they on axis or aimed directly at each other?

 

Firing at each other..... Question of the day.... What is "on axis"?

 

I had the same question. vh5150 will hopefully tell us what he meant when he said: “Are they on axis or aimed directly at each other?”

On-axis and off-axis refer to sound direction. Off-axis is sound coming from the side of the speaker, and on-axis is sound coming mainly from the front of the speaker (there is always sound leaking from the sdes).

I suspect that vh5150 means aiming the speaker at the listener (instead of across the front of the car, and directly at each other) when he refers to “on-axis.”

Usually the type of tweeter will dictate if it should be on or off axis. I have my focal tweets off axis. In the process of replacing them with Hertz, will more likely be on axis, need to verify

 

Thank you Spike. You are correct.

 

I have the CDT ES-620 Gold system. What do you guys suggest? A-pillars or kicks?

 

I run this set up and the Imaging is great, and I havent hooked up the sound processor yet.

 

What tool did you use to open up the door pods so your Focals would fit? The holes in mine are tiny!

 

I didn't use any tools in just took the stock grills off.
