bullet tweets but im not useing them in the doors im puting them in the dash somewhere

[luke81]

Only in Florida......Seriously, not knocking anyone's personal choices....but what's the obsession with bullet tweeters down here? And Eminance speakers??? Back in the northeast I never once had a customer ask for either one, down here they're all over.

[1stGen7]

the loudness of them and cant get louder for the money

[luke81]

Well, thats true and I'll give you that. And I suppose if loud is the only thing you are after, they fit the bill. If quality needs to come into play as well.....not so much!

[1stGen7]

lol seleniums are going in my truck 2 6.5's per door 6 6.5's in the center consol once i start building it and 2 selenium horns along with 2 selenium super tweets this is all after i get done with my 6 12's

[jriggs]

nice choice of patterns lol

[MCOR]

I know budget is usually an issue with your installs, but using fabric other than fleece is a real PITA. The reason fleece is most frequently used by professionals is because it is cheap, it flexes just enough without seeping, and it DOESN'T wrinkle like bed sheets (or whatever that is).

Check your local craft or fabric store. Fleece is only like $6 a roll.

That being said though it is definately not a "pretty" as the pink/purple flowery bed sheet you chose. Definately a first?!?

[TBSpyder]

what the hell is that?

[Colonel Mustard]

i know i should of used it in the 1st place but i rly hated cuting that shirt up ive had it fo so long.. but the front had holes and everything so i said fuck it and cut it up anyways

[94civiclx]

if you go to the international flea market off of fowler they have the 200watt rms 400watt peak 6 and 6.5 seleniums for 35 each. Ive been using mine for almost a year on a 500watt sherwin amp sound beautiful just FYI...

[Paul]

A+ Phil..I think is going to turn out good..next time fit the speaker so its flush mounted.that would have been that little extra!....

[1stGen7]

i wanted to flushmount them but i dont have acess to a rougter

[jriggs]

you can use a jig saw to cut a ring just big enough to fit around the speaker stack that on the speaker ring you already have and more or less flush them. looks pretty good so far. pick up some fiberglass matt or the filler type glass to add some strength instead of using more cloth its cheap and adds up to being real strong

looks pretty good so far, are you going to cover the whole door in some nice fabric or smooth and paint it?
i'd go with some padding over the whole door them some nice fabric of some sort

i was thinking about covering them in camo felt type stuff but i dono yet

[jriggs]

for the price of most felts you can order some suede knock off (via ebay or some other website) that feels and looks just like the real deal. i would suggest just basic black it's cleaner and you'll probably enjoy it for longer.

just make sure to add some like dash padding under the final fabric, makes it look and feel nicer. a buddy's sub enclosure i built we originally painted then he wanted covered in suede we just went back and added the padding, looks so much smoother and more plush. also for you it would add some damping to the doors and stop some rattles

[1stGen7]

i was thinking ( probly a stupied idea ) of covering the whole inside ( dash door panels headliner wall and trim panels ) in black carpet but i dono what ima do yet

[jriggs]

shagg? lol

[MCOR]

As crazy as it sounds, this project is actually turning around a little. I think you are on the right track. Are you still going to fiberglass it and cover/smooth with body filler? That is going to take a while and a ton of sanding to get this smooth. I like the idea of covering it with faux suede or some other fabric. I think it may have a better chance of coming out acceptable...

[1stGen7]

yeah i dont feel like smooth it out cause every time i try it i fail.. i dont under stand it i can do body work and everything ( use to work at a body shop ) but when it comes to smoothing out fiberglass i fail bad

[1stGen7]

shagg? lol

no just reg black speaker box carpet but ill probly look around and find something i like to cover it in.. i wanna do camo inside and outside and stick to my plans when i got the truck.. but ill figure it out

[MCOR]

yeah i dont feel like smooth it out cause every time i try it i fail.. i dont under stand it i can do body work and everything ( use to work at a body shop ) but when it comes to smoothing out fiberglass i fail bad

Well, your point in sanding the fiberglass portion is just to knock down the high spots and set up the general shape of the enclosure. Then the body filler (Bondo sucks by the way-use the pro stuff at the body shop supply stores) is used to apply a clean and smooth surface to lay the paint on. It is almost impossible to get fiberglass completely smooth and definately not worth the time trying! Body filler Body Filller BODY FILLER!

[TJElite]

Another neat trick, that would probably work well on something shaped like this is to make 'soup' out of bondo and fiberglass resin. Actually, duraglas works best, but regular bondo will do.

All you do is mix up some bondo and hardner in one bowl, and some resin and hardner in another. I usually back off the respective hardeners a little, FWIW. Then, just start adding the resin to the bondo, until it is like thick gravy.

This stuff spreads easily, goes on thick, and sort of levels itself out. It also adds quite a bit of strength. You might still need more bondo after that, but it will save a lot of time. The soup is pretty hard to sand, once its fully cured though, so try and get it on as smooth as you can, and do your sanding early...when you hit it with a piece of 36 grit, it should sort of ball up, kind of like cheese.

are you going to put something on the back to make it more of an enclosure or do those speakers work ib for the most part?

i will be getting the back guard things for the selenium's that make them closed backes

[the727kid]

Well I hope you put about $300+ of bondo into your budget, that is bad.

[TBSpyder]

Maybe you should try perfecting (or atleast finishing) a simple sub box before attempting more demanding projects.

[luke81]

I'm going to try to help you out with a couple tips that might make this project work out better. First, look at the top edge of the panel in the pic below. The part you made is so much higher than the existing panel you wont be able to get a smooth transition. There's not a good way to fix that when you've got this far, aside from grind it off. Second, the front edge of the pod is all zig-zaggy instead of being straight, again making an even transition almost impossible.
Here's how I would make a pod like this. Tape the door and draw out with a sharpie how much area you want the pod to cover. Draw just a tad smaller than where it will really go so the resin build up will fill it out. smear a thin layer of mold release wax(or just car wax works in a pinch) on the tape, and lay 2 layers of 1.5oz chop mat right onto the taped door. When it cures pop it off the door, and cut along your lines (carefully, make it straight). Now you have an exact fiberglass copy of the door panel. Now you can position your rings onto this fiberglass and wrap the whole thing with fleece very tightly. Soak it up good and lay a couple more layers of mat on it, and let it cure up well. I don't wrap the mat around the edges, to make sure the part sits nicely. I strengthen the point where the fleece meets the fiberglass by mixing some finely chopped fibers in some resin and pour it in around all the edges. It doesn't take much, just a little bead all around the joint. At this point the panel will be pretty smooth and just take a little minor filling. Hit it with your grinding disc to knock off all the high spots and rough it up a bit, and cover the part with a thin layer of filler. For non-painted parts whatever cheap filler you can find will work. For painted parts I use Rage Gold, which is 30$+ per can but works a ton better. Sand off with 180 or so on your DA and it's ready to be matched to the door and covered. All this could easily get done in one day for those pods, and will give you better results.

im not painting them im covering them i got 1 low spot i gota fix befor i cover then and its not even that bad

[the727kid]

I can look at it and tell there is alot more than just 1 low spot, the panel looks like a mini mountian range.

after i get a new jig saw ill make the flush mount rings and the outher ring and get them on then start to stretch the fabric over it and glass them

[lilmike13]

looking good

[1stGen7]

changed my mind im not going to flush mount them with wood im going to try and build the fiberglass up around the lip to flush mount them.. pics

WOW! By FAR your best attempts at ANYTHING I've seen you post!

Honestly bro, keep it up - looks like you took some advice from a few of the Forum Members for once ("luke" had posted up some great info for you I saw) - and it's WORKING!

Good luck, and GLAD to finally see something materialize for ya... Maybe *this* project will come to fruition!

[luke81]

Looking much better! One other tip i might give if you haven't laid resin on yet is to go along that top edge of the door in that last pic and smooth off all those little bumps. It will be much easier now than later, and each layer you lay on it will add to the bump quite a bit. The smoother the surface underneath is the better the final product will be.

[MCOR]

OMG! Let's see this one to completion...

[1stGen7]

resin over fabric and 1 layer of matte

[vanillagorilla]

Phil, you do some of the best work around. Once again I like this also.

[OMG IT'S A COP]

seriously dude, i'm done breaking your balls. you have made leaps and bounds in improvements.

[quietflight6787]

not bad. i made some fiber glass enclosures a couple years back, i actually used the same cloth and glass they use to make surfboards with, it was easier to play with i think,
but looks pretty good man, keep it up

[1stGen7]

im going to fiberglass selenium super tweets in the stock location in the dash after i finish both doors

[1stGen7]

started smoothing them out.. working on them more now this was done lastnight..

[MCOR]

Are you sanding all this by hand or do you have a palm sander and air compressor (or at least an air 90 degree angle sander tool)? I know budget is always an issue in your builds but you are actually very close to a clean final product this time. If you use air and are very careful, you might be able to get just about all bumps out of this one. Finally a respectable start. Just keep up the good work and take your time. If you get stuck, take the time out to post questions here. You are probably not aware that there are some very respectable members in this industry that peruse this forum. This progression in your builds is what it's all about...

[1stGen7]

sanding with a hand sander and by hand.. i havent worked on them at all

[864I'DCaprI]

I read this whole thread,(never seen any other of your work their talking about) and man from start to now is such an improvement. Great job by not bailing on it just because of the negative comments you were receiving, what it seems you did was take all that in and made something positive out of it by learning about it more, that my friend is AWSOME, a lot of respect for that man. Keep it up and keep learning to improve. Looking like its coming out good so far. Will be tagging along to see the rest...


Keep it up man...

[1stGen7]

well ive been out of state for 2 weeks just got back tonight so i might work on the driver mold tomorow get it to where the passanger mold is..

[1stGen7]

took a brake from all the stuff ive been doing for freinds and started on the s-10 again.. yesterday i got the truck up on jack stands and started to take the tranny out to replace the clutch but lost my 18 MM socket for the bell bolts.. so i started mounting my racing seat ive had for over a year.. still gota figure out another way to mount it cause itll be in the way of my wall.. pics..



http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u143/projecttruck/016.jpg



http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u143/projecttruck/015.jpg



http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u143/projecttruck/014.jpg



its dirty i know its been sitting out back for over a year and i used the stock seat bolts.. probly gona get the seat where it clears the wall and then drill holes in the floor and use bolts and nuts to bolt it down

[TBSpyder]

What's the point of that? Number one, I don't see that truck entering any races in the near future unless it's against a bicycle. Number two, that's gotta be the most uncomfortable seat out there. Number three, god rest anyone's soul who sits in that seat and gets into an accident after you've mounted it. Seems like that truck has more important things to be done to it than racing seats.

True $tory though...

Proper mounting of a racing seat is done like this:

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b209/MiDiablo/My%20Vehicles/FrankenStang/100_2468.jpg

Or at the very least, at least mount them to OEM rails like the one in this picture:

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b209/MiDiablo/My%20Vehicles/FrankenStang/100_2476.jpg

[1stGen7]

[1stGen7]

http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u143/projecttruck/sub004.jpg

not a 6x9 or a horn

[Kyleisme]

is that a 12 w7? or 13.5

[1stGen7]

12w7

[Kyleisme]

yes it is to which? and just one? i thought you were doing a wall?

[1stGen7]

yes it is to which? and just one? i thought you were doing a wall?

its a 12W7 and im not useing it.. i got it for free and thinking about tradeing a guy on another forum for his 4 15 inch MA audio's

[Kyleisme]

i will trade you a frozen one? lmao!!!

[1stGen7]

this one the VC its self broke free of the cone and needs a recone but i got it for free

[Kyleisme]

lmao thats not free at all.. its worthless.. it costs the same for recone as the same thing and if you dont have baffle board that came with it they WONT take it.. they are ridiculous!!

[1stGen7]

eh i dont care lol i might trade it for the 4 15's i dono yet they needs recones to

[Kyleisme]

ouch..

[TBSpyder]

Nice place. Jesus. Do you live in a haunted house?

[wmartinlsmith]

sooo basically it's a giant paper weight... wanna know a secret.. i have a set of 6x9's that put out more bass than that thing.. in its current condition.. LOL

[1stGen7]

lol smartass im going to get it reconed OR just trade it for the 4 15's and get them reconed OR just keep it around to just say i have a 12W7 LOL

[the727kid]

Since you got it for free, why not pass it on to someone who can make use of it? (Me?) I got a few boxes I can give you lol.

[1stGen7]

i dont wanna trade it for a box lol but if you got anything else you think id be intersted in let me know ( PM me or what ever )...

alright just got done fiberglassing the driver side mold to match the passanger side.. now i got cut the rings stretch the fabric resin glass and start to smooth out.. that will al probly be done by tonight when my mom gets back with her camra so pics up tonight

[luke81]

JL will recone it pretty cheap(compared to the cost of the sub), the last couple i sent were under 250$

[1stGen7]

i might hold on to it for a while i dono yet depends of if the right deal pops up on a trade

[GradeA_TireFryer]

the sub (in it current condition) is worth more than his whole truck.

[the727kid]

How much would you want for it? I got a custom HT tower you could put some 12s in and make your house shake lol.

I really want it just to make a custom sub, the only thing JL left after I would be done would be the motor lol. I really miss my custom 3hps.

[MiDiablo]

lmao.. turn your truck on!! i want to hear you come on and tell us how that fan ripped through the wire.. what gauge is that? 4?

[the727kid]

That is 0 gauge but that wire needs re-routed asap.

[Kyleisme]

also you battery looks like its leaking on the side.. jesus.. get the priority list straight..

[1stGen7]

That is 0 gauge but that wire needs re-routed asap.

the wire is routed the same way the stock one was.. though the alt bracket.. not in the pic is the heater core hose witch also gos though the same spot i got it back in not.. the 0 gauge is behind the hose .. there is no way the fan could hit the ground wire

[1stGen7]

also you battery looks like its leaking on the side.. jesus.. get the priority list straight..

it is leaning cause i have no inner fenders so i made a way to hold it up with a 2x4 bit it dont work that good... im going to make ( or have made ) a battery tray that will have a braket that gos to the frame fender and the rad suport.. stock it gos to the rad suport the fender and inner fender

[NT_Hardcore]

does the truck run?

[1stGen7]

right this sec? no its all toren apart i just got the new clutch and tranny back in and then im going to clean up the motor a bit then put it back togather

[DimeonDubs]

it is leaning cause i have no inner fenders so i made a way to hold it up with a 2x4 bit it dont work that good... im going to make ( or have made ) a battery tray that will have a braket that gos to the frame fender and the rad suport.. stock it gos to the rad suport the fender and inner fender

he said LEAKING,not leaning

[1stGen7]
