I really like the way those look. Do you have any more pictures?

Nice work. You started on the other one yet? Good luck.

Why do you ask if I ate paint chips when I was younger?

ok i got a fresh update of the door panels.. it would have been alot sooner but i had a huge computer problem and had to reformat it and all that good stuff..

the panels r in primer.. i decieded to modify the speaker grilles and use them to cover the edges around the speakers.. instead of making my own.. although i still might.. let me know what u think... door panels will should be in the truck within a week i hope as long as the weather stays half ass nice here in nebraska.... i think i might hold off on painting them to match till next spring as the weather is alil too cold to paint but im not sure... i have tons more pics if you guys wanna see any just let me know..

very very nice. and clean to everthing gust flows like water. two quistions though how did you get them to be exactly the same on both sides, did you mesure or make a mold or something. they look exactly the same. and do you like the type r's over the x's or have you not heard them both cuse im thinking about geting a pare or two for my car. or did you go with the cheaper ones so you had the money to get two. they are very nice anyway and i bet the two 6.5 put togeather on each side are very clear. adding 2 6.5'' components to doors - Page 2 -- posted image.

thanx youngone.. well to get them the same i just measured and eye balled them.. i cut the spacers for the 6.5's at the same time so i made them the exact same.. so the height was the same and placement was just a guess by looking at them... i figured since there not on the same side that if they weren't exact no one would notice.. well i like the type r's cause i got them for like 189 set which is hella cheap... i was thinking about type x's or jl xr's to start.. but im a college kid on a budget... and i only have a baby alpine amp on mine( mrp-240 40watts X 4) but they sound great.. im still playing with the cross over set points.. if u can afford the type x's i woud go with those as the r supposed to sound great.. never heard them myself but know people who have...

but i used two sets.. just because i have never seen anyone do what i did.. and i figured may as well do it big when u do it.. u know.. im happy with them for my first fiberglass job, i can't complain to much.. i learned alot and now im looking for a new project

i think you should have gone with the jl's man. i've owned the type r's (and i'm an alpine and jl dealer) and they lack midbass response. the type x's sound a little muddy, too much midbass. at the shop i work at we dont even carry the type r speakers, just the subs. after putting together a few jl systems, i personally like the JL VR series better than the more expensive XR's (though we have had the 6.5" XR's playing down to 60hz without distortion.

for your money the 6" VR components are a better choice

well thanx for the info suicidecustom.. but there already made so im kinda stuck with them and im happy with them.. and since im a college kid and i don't work at an audio store i have to pay normal price and a set of xr's or vr's is alil out of my price range... and thats great that u had a set of xr's playing at 60hz but i got subs underneath that back seat to play that low.. so im happy with my type r's although i wish i had alil more power to put on them but that will come once i save some more money... i luv jl stuff just as much as alpine just couldn't justify the price
