oene thing that i just thought about is that little piece is hard to get out kinda you need to pull really hard do you worry about it cracking if you need to remove it again?

Its the plastic plate around the shifter thats a pain to remove but other then that the piece I fabricated was'nt all that bad to remove. Ive been working on the enclosure all day today. Opps...... I forgot to take pics...but I will get more in. I change up the design alittle.

nice job man. I'd like to see how you do the doors. I have to rebuild this demo car we have and I want to do speaker pods on the door. I dont know if I want to build the pod seperately and attach it to the door or just build on to the door.

Thanks, I will be runing a pair of Boston's 6.5" Components and a pair of Boston's 6.5" Coaxial's on the doors. I will be building on the door adding some shape to it.

Nice setup, I will be duing pretty much the same enclosure design on another customer with an eclipse. The door panels on the Civic I am currently working on will look almost the same but with a pair of 6.5" components and coaxial's installed with the whole panel wrapped.

[QUOTE=integratyper934]here is a pic of some door pods i did on this car....https://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q39/integratyper934/bousdoorpods2.jpg also a false floor pic 2 12w3v2d4 in a sealed box with a 500/1 lit up with a blue neon. shape is kinda wack but wat the customer wanted. https://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q39/integratyper934/bousfalsefloor.jpg https://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q39/integratyper934/bousdoorpods.jpg[/QUOTE] On these pods, how did you fab the base? I'm thinkin fiberglass mold of the door panel? That just occured to me now. I was planning on having to do the base out of mdf but I guess I could lay glass on the door and then cut out the shape I want and build onto it. Sound about right? Did you have any kind of gap issues between the pod and the door? Usually when I build something, I rabbet the edge to allow the finishing material to have a channel to lay into so that the panel sits flat against whatever it is mounted to, but you can't rabbet the glass.

I havent started on the civics doors yet but when I do pics will be posted. I prefer have unlimited access in designing to the door panels, so I will be molding the whole panel, and use the factory clips to hold the panel in place. But there's also other ways to do the job. It all depends on how custom you want it to be.

i taped the door up really nice and used the whole tape/aluminum foil trick. made the mold, and ring jigs glassed, then bondo matched the warped areas. when i vinyl wrapped it you dont really need room for the cloth as long as you wrap it nice and flat. the negative curve on the back was harder than imaginable to vinyl.
