    Well.. I just got an update.. and the doors are basically done. They just got their last layer of paint..

    Here are pics of them in the "dark."

    Do you see the OEM-like texture? Mmm..





    Now, heres how they change to a dark bronze color once some light hits them..



    Now, keep in mind that the paint is still wet, and that pics make almost everything looks worse.

    Now with that being said.. If they look this great in pics.. just imagine the result in person

    Ohh... Where to start? Meh, lets start with subs..

    So, I was driving into work on Thurs morning. I was playing like half volume.. and heard a ticking. So, I turned down the setup a tad.

    After 5 mins, the ticking was apparent at that volume too.

    Play lower, and same thing happened.

    Whatever.

    After work, I unscrew the sub in the work parking lot.

    Coil was still wound a copper in color, cone wasnt "bent", surround looked fine, spiders wasnt teared, tinsels were still connected. Everything LOOKED fine. With the car off, I pushed down on the cone. No coil rub.

    I checked impedance, checked out fine.

    I figure that Ill have to recone anyway.. so I just burp it.

    I find this in my backseat..



    I was so relieved.

    So I turned off the 3500, picked up glue, and drove home like this..



    Ate up a good bit of the cone too..



    So, I reattached the dustcap and let it dry overnight. Im going on 57 miles of driving, with no issues.

    :good:

    I also did some talking with Dre and Robin Butler. Robin and I spent some time chatting a few nights ago.. and he was able to come up with this.



    I got this pic the following morning..



    Now, I get home and see this package. I had NO clue what it was bc i didnt order anything big. I pick it up, and it clicks.. haha

    Over this past long weekend, I got a substantial amount of work done.

    Lets discuss the amp rack area first..

    AJ hooked me up on some carpet and adhesive.





    This adhesive is no joke.. Even when sprayed on just one of the surfaces..



    Heres a before picture? See the bare wood on the front of the box that I intended to be hidden..



    That was fixed..





    Much better.

    Also, heres a door pic..



    Last but not least, a pic that I love LOL



    See the 3500 hiding in the back? eepwall:

    are you using both the same speakers side by side?(appears so?), as I wanted to add a lower(mid/sub) beside my current Polk Sr6500's to bring a bit more bottem end up front!! but not sure if I would have any issues of cancellation ect as I know it not normally good to run different drivers close together(atleast when it comes to subs ect?? again thanks for posting pics of custom door pods as exactly what I needed!!!

    best mids for dash location!

    I found a speaker(mids not tweets!) that fits perfect in the dash of our cars and they totally kick ass!!(a bit pricey $450 a pr)but can find onsale at $325 a pr! Pioneer stage 4 Ts-S062prs(i believe)so clear/loud and though I have over 8grand in my system these puppies are one of my fav pieces! infact I think im gonna add a 2nd set in the pillars I am mostly into Sq(not a blurper lol!)and always looking for ways to get the most outta of our crappy acoustic interiors!!

    Yeah, both of the mids are the same exact model. The only way I would do a midrange and mid bass driver per door is if i separated the airspace between the two different speakers.

    Me personally, I planned to (and currently am) upgrade my substage drastically and need my frontstage to keep up. This is the sole reason why i have 2 mids per door (feeding them 150wrms per) and 2 tweeters per a pillar.

    For an SQ perspective (please note that SQ isn't my forte), adding speakers complicates staging. Adding DIFFERENT types of speakers just makes staging THAT much harder. Its more time aligning, x/o properly, EQing, etc. Many times, its more of a hassle i hear, than anything.

    Where do your Polks seem to "drop off" at?
