my tweeter pods awaiting paint now...

[zfactor]

ill be posting pics as i get stuff done on the system. these are fiberglass of course. similar in design to oem i want to keep it sorta factory looking ... very clean inside. ill finish the other side this weekend then i start on the outside mirrors. they are getting monitors in them instead of the glass thats there now.....

[zfactor]

wait till i get to the trunk ......... man do i have some crazy shit going on back there. that will not be "clean" that'll be crazy. i just want the interior to remain clean looking....

Sweet,Looks nice!Can't wait to see what you got in store for the trunk Are you gonna do SBN/Tuner Bash this year? I was thinking it might be a good meet for everyone here. I know some show car audio people there...Dave Rivera Jeremy Jason Tom...all those guys at Metra... I was thinking about doing somethin' more with my system and going down this year.

Are the 06's different from 04-05's? I've never seen an 06 yet. Also do you need a dash kit or a harness, or both(turbokit). If you're just trying to mount a deck it shouldn't be too difficult to fab up some brackets for iso mount.

[zfactor]

no watts completly different and you cant just mount it iso in the new ones. ive installed a couple in the 06 ions already and what i do is use a mustang pocket kit from like the 03 model, and some textured black abs and some ca glue w/activator and glue the abs over the front of the mustang pocket (for strength) then fill the seams with some more ca glue. once the is done i make a small slit in the sides of the mustang pocket to slide in some back strapping. ca glue that in place and also put 2 small screws in to hold it while it dries. sand the whole thing down re-texture it, re-dye it. you cant tell its not factory but i have to charge $$$ for it since it takes forever to do..... ill make one as soon as i get another one in and i can send it off to metra if no one else has yet they will use it to make a mold for a kit. i have sent them other ones which they used before, and also american international....

im gonna make a mold of these pods before install so i can pretty quickly pop a few out for those that want them. should be like oh i dont know maybe 50$ or so for the pair im geussing, once i see how much time i have in them ill know for sure. these are aimed with sq in mind i spent a lot of time making sure these were "properly" aimed...... i used a full mic setup to do this.

Ahh I see what your saying about the kit,I assume Scoche doesn't make one either? I had do do the same and make my own custom kit for my old SL1 when I had the Clarion deck with the motorized dual face plate. It wouldn't clear and I had to cut the kit all up,then rebuild it with vette panel adhesive and glue and all that...

Are those the Image enhancement tweets from CDT? I used to have a pair of them a long time ago,I still have the x-overs with the extra tweeter out and the L-pad.

[Keyser Soze]

Are thise Clif Designs? If so I had these as my components and coaxials in my SL1 powered by a Autotek Mean Machine. Unbelievable sound quality. Looks sweet.
