avatar,

i too did not intend to come off like a pain...i was just trying to explain why i chose the speakers with the config. i did.....Thanks for the input.....opinions are warranted in this business, after 8 years of this line of work some people like and some don't.....sound is a perseption not a fact......have a great year in audio!!!!

Ok, I will PM my shipping address so you can send that entire set up to me (In Winning Blue)
Ok, just kidding, but I LOVE IT!!....And that is a creative way to place your Bottles, NICE!

would love to hear the sound, and the door panels look very cool, did you consider any other layouts for the trunk?

Acutually,

i wanted to use the entire trunk and go all show......and fiberglass the trunk lid with some tv's but it is my wifes car and she goes more for the simple yet elegant look....i wanted to put 8- 8" woofers in the trunk so that when you opened it up the woofers would be in a fiberglass tub that would be almost at the edge of the trunk and ported in to the car through the rear deck....i would have just left out the 6x9 speakers and built tuned ports to come through the deck in their place....i am still contemplating putting 2 10" tv's in the rear doors......

Door panels only $225-$400 with paint?
That is a steal. How many hours do you figure in labour to pull that off?
Nice job from what I can see in the pics.

I would have put the speakers in the sides of the car to give your wife a trunk. But hey - it's show right?

Also - 3 seperates/door? Seems overkill as cheap drivers will definately not be matched as will their respective x-overs. Why not go for a single pair of 5 1/4, or 6.5"?? Something good - focal, dynaudio, etc? Polks are ALWAYS too bright for my liking.

With all those drivers you are going to have timbre matching, as well as phase issues wrt SQ.

Looks cool, but from a standpoint of SQ - simple point source is best. A small low mass midbass with smooth tweeter and matched crossovers would be best.

But this is a car right? Who cares about SQ?

no the one enclosing the actual subs. What are they called? When I went to tweeters they didnt know what I was talking about when I asked them.

The things behind the subd are amplifiers andd the things that the subs are mounted in are a fiberglass box I built to that is painted to match the outside of the car....
