3.5" + 6.5" in the front doors

Stock location and I didnt even have to modify the door panel or anything. I did however cut out the plastic under the stock speaker mesh to show off my soon to be purdy silver pods and speakers. They're also both angled up/towards the cabin. Only took me forever and a day and alot of fiberglass and bondo to get em to fit without hitting anything.

I'd take some on the car but all I have is a webcam.

Well if anyone would be interested I could make a mold and cast duplicates out of some sort of hard rubber/plastic, but then again I dont think many people would be seriously interested. But yeah if anyone would be I could do it

Well, I've already blown the speakers I just replaced up front. And as soon as I get some fundage I'm prolly gonna move up to something quite larger than the dinky 3.5"s that are there right now. It would just be a nice option, but yeah pics mounted as soon as you can.

If I can make a mold and cast them I'd definitely sell them for around $50 or so

Dang, James. Sounds like you're getting people's interest in this. What a way to make tuition payments, huh? I guess I could be interested in them too. That way, I can mount my 4" speaker from my Boston ProSeries 3-way's (right now, I've only got the 6" and the tweeter hooked up).

if your going to produce these can you make them with only the6.5 since most componet only give you a mid and a tweeter and i dont need the other 3.5 id pay 60 shipped

Well right now I'm kinda selling a 'simple' 6.5 pod....

I say simple because it doesnt angle the speaker up/toward the cabin....it's just a simple mount with a spacer to keep it from hitting the window. There's a link to the thread in my sig.

I'm thinking of making some 6.5" mounts with the speaker angled up too if anyone is interested. lol

I have Been wondering

I was thinkin about doing something with the two 12" and amps that are in my trunk and one of the things that I was considering was fiberglass. How do you create a mold? how do you shape it? could you post some pics on how to build with fiberglass all I need is a visual idea and I can take it from there. Thanks, Ryan.

P.S. (nubiannupe) went to the link at the bottom of your sig, car looks sick, good job.
