thanks for sharing.
can you describe how you mounted the front speakers and if you measured the available depth? did you make a mount? did you reuse factory? i recommend weatherstripping foam seals around the front of the speaker so it seals against the front door panel. door panel/grill needs to have an airtight seal to the speaker so you get midbass response and minimal phase cancellation. |

glad you're happy with your efforts.
looks good. you can spend some more time with wire routing to try to get most of it secured every 6-8" or so. you can use zip tie mounts. make sure you get some L-brackets in there to rigidly secure the box in place. while it may seem secure with friction, you want it difficult to steal and secured such that fast turns or an accident doesn't cause the box to move and stress the connections at the amp. |
