Where to put them?

Kick well's are too shallow.

What do the speakers sound like under the dash, anyone put some nice speakers in there? Sounds good or shit?

Dont want to fit my focal setup in the dash if its going to sound shit.

Rear parcel shelf supports is not an option.

Cheers

Ryan

c9sse

got mine in the dash they are jbl gt only running off the head unit and dont sound to bad.

Are Focal speakers good then Ryan? I have a load of them in the garage and i thought they were cheap shit
I thought your car was based on a touring car so why the stereo stuff? Just ripped all mine out as well as the entire interior and anything else not essential

Ryan

jules, yes, Focal are shit, sell me them cheap.



Seriosuly there awesome speakers.

Only having headunit and front components, want a bit of music now and then



If i was going stripped out touring car, it would be caged by now

going semi stripped

i have a set of mtx 4" ones in the front and they are excellent

Ryan

as in the original places behind the dash?

B11GNS

yep, as they are 4" they are a straight swap

Ryan

cool, mine arent unforuntaly so i'll make up some custom brackets as there is no way im wasting these puppies.

B11GNS

Ryan

Make some builds for the kick panels like i did for rob and me as the original placement is shit.Will bet some pic's for you if you like or pop over at next show for a looky.

Ryan

yeah that would be cool, did look at the kick panels but they looked very shallow so the builds would be quite deep but ideally thats what i want to do.

No pics then stretch?

Rob popped down for his loom earlier.

Here you go mate.

Matt

very tidy stretch

i have no stereo in mine too paranoid about funny noises

Ryan

perfect stretch.

i was just concerned about pedal clearance as i cant tell due to mine having no pedal box.

MDF and fibreglass was it?

Cheers

Ryan

Pedal clearance is obviously a bit closer but it's not a problem as i still manage with my size 12's and actually comes in handy on long journey's as i rest my foot on grill

Yes mate mdf and cloth with glass fibre resin.

Ryan

cool cheers stretch, any photo's of the build work?

Will start them today as im bored.

Wahoooo

Sorry mate i havent got any pics.

Just cut ring same size as speaker.Then space out from original kickpanel with other mdf scraps to desired location direction then hot glue in place.Stretch cloth over all this and soak in resin.Basic shape is now there.Just needs strengthening with fibreglass etc.And hole cut out for speaker.

Any problems pm me.

That look nice m8, does it sound ok though with the tweeter being so low down in the car.

Ryan

will start in a moment.

will be almost the same as the ones i did in my old RST

3drstretch

iTrader: (1)

The sound IMO is excellent mate i tried different locations with tweeter as it sounded the best here as the sound hits your ears at the same time.It is all in the direction Next time you at a show pop over for a demo.Will have my best 80's album ready.

You wouldn't have 1 as it would mean less room for your bufty trophies.

Ryan

stretch, stage 1 is complete.

Will get some pics up in about 10 mins

Look rather good if i do say so myself

I would recommend what 3drstretch has done. Assuming you are going for 2-way components, I would have an angled kick panel build for the mid bass. However, for SQ, I would mount the tweeter higher.

Ryan

Here's some pictures, only at stg 1 at the moment, lots of filling and sanding to do, and also need to install the tweaters but you get the idea.

Rather impressed myself

Ryan

stg 2 is now complete.

Filler is now drying.

The sand that down and install the tweaters.

Job Done.

Just need to find some nice grey accoustic carpet.

looking good will have to have a sample to see if its worth the hassle

Ryan

deffo be worth the hassle, not letting Ł200+ speakers go to waste.

Will only take 2 days of work from start to finish for the pods, and lot of that time is waiting for things to dry, i.e fibreglass, foam, glue, filler etc etc.

Will look proper cool when installed

3drstretch

iTrader: (1)

Not bad.

Ryan

or did you use it all up on your dash

3drstretch

iTrader: (1)

As a matter of fact yes i do have some left.But as your being cheeky.FOOK OFF.

Ryan

doh


anyone got some.


Lift grey if possible
