Well the drivers side pod is done. honestly, it sounds nice, and by itself it looks nice, but added to the car and I think it looks out of place and crappy.
Here I finished it off with a texturizing spray, and used a piece of leather while the spray was wet to pat it down and give it a leather look matching the plastic in the car.
Next i cut a couple vents in the back and added a pound of modeling clay to the inside.
Screwed it into the car, added the speaker and grill. I hate the look. Me thinks I am going to redo it, and try and make it look like it's a part of the kick itself. I just didn't think the glass would stick to the plastic.
I dunno. I was running along so well, and this really bums me out.1970 Mach 1: ///ALPINE DVA 9860 H.U and H701 processor. Image Dynamics CSX 52 components, and IDQ D4 Sub. Polk/Momo 400.4 and 500.1 amps. -
Dont get bummed dude. Kick panels are, hands down, the hardest thing to get right. Not only do they have to be stucturally spot on so they dont sound like crap, but they have to be aimed right for proper imaging but most of all, they have to blend seamlessly with the interior of the car. This aint easy.
Chin up tho my brother. Youve got more talent than most installers working in stereo shops so I have no doubt youll figure something out.
Have you thought about 'glassing them into the door panel?polkaudio sound quality competitor since 2005

Yeah, I can't cause the window crank uses that space. I didn't want power windows, but maybe I should re-think it.
Bleh, I am going to work on something else today. I need a break.1970 Mach 1: ///ALPINE DVA 9860 H.U and H701 processor. Image Dynamics CSX 52 components, and IDQ D4 Sub. Polk/Momo 400.4 and 500.1 amps. -
glass doesnt stick to plastic, but you can shave the kick panel down and wrap the mat completely around it. I do kicks like that at our shop a few times a year, works great.

I took a few days off and decided to get the car running after I got the distributor re-curved. Running great, and she got a bath today too.
Now, I have a question. I got a screamin deal on a set of brand new Image Dynamic CX62 midbass. For sound quality, do you think that I should build an enclosure for that hole behind my kicks, or just second skin the crap out of the metal, and build a baffle? Baffle would obviously be the easiest, but I want the best SQ.1970 Mach 1: ///ALPINE DVA 9860 H.U and H701 processor. Image Dynamics CSX 52 components, and IDQ D4 Sub.

try the baffle and see what it sounds like, you dont really even need to cover it unless you like the way it sounds. Generally, stuff sounds better in an enclosure, but sometimes it really is too much effort for not enough gain. And building an enclosure in that space is probably a candidate for that theory.

I doubt there is enough room to build a properly sized enclosuer. Just let it run free air and vent into the frame.polkaudio sound quality competitor since 2005

Sorry for the disapearing act. I am in a band, and we had a lot going on the last couple weeks. Not to get this thread off topic, but our label just released our first video...
