2020 Camry.

My younger brother had it first week of July, but he bounced back pretty quickly. Hope you get better soon!
 
Thanks guys. This is the worst flu or viral illness I've ever had and it is really kicking my ass. Can't even play my violin and that is major suckage. My wife is a nurse and that might be where I caught it but who really knows , she is stuck at home with me but has shown no symptoms which I am very happy about.

Take good care of yourselves as this thing is a stone cold bitch.
 
I'm back...for the most part. Feeling like I was dragged behind a truck for a couple kilometres but very happy to be on the rebound. I was in hospital for a while and on a ventilator for a bit. I am rather hazy about exactly what went on for the past few weeks but my wife assures me that the world continues to spin, there is lots of good music to listen to and I am a lot luckier than many who have had Covid19 and best of all she has not been infected.

So in a few weeks when the weather starts to warm up I'll be back at my install.
 
Been a while. I'm still in recovery mode from Covid, thought I had it beat a few months ago but the after effects are still with me. Very hard to concentrate, make decisions and absorb most things I read. Worst of all I can not play my violin and have not been able to for months so one of the most important parts of my life is over for the present. Working on my car install is out of the question at this point. But at least I am still kicking which is more than can be said for a lot of people.

Take care of yourselves and lets hope this pandemic passes soon.
 
I'm finally feeling like I'm getting better, more clear headed and able to focus on what needs to be done...it's very good to be feeling somewhat human again, still hard to find tone on the violin but the sheer joy of playing is wonderful. More good news is that a buddy has been coming over to help with my install, we have the amplifiers fitted, wire is run and the door 'speaker pods are attached...I say he helped but he actually did most of the work. This is not the install I had planned but I think it will sound pretty good...I'll post photos' tomorrow (Monday).
 
Today these showed up in our mailbox, my wife ordered them for me for Fathers Day...I guess she was paying attention to my conversations with my buddy about different 'speakers that I was thinking of using. A very nice surprise I must say. Now I'm going to remove the current pods with the medium quality Wavecor tweets and wide bands and lay up new pods for the Morel 254 and Wavecor high end tweeters. Good times.View attachment 15908View attachment 15910

Nice build you have going on!

Glad you were able to get past your Covid symptoms. I had it back in December and it was not fun.

I really like the Wavecor 22mm tweeters and Morel CCWR254's in my IS350. They make for a great combo IMO.

One suggestion that I would make, I would install the midrange drivers in the factory dash corner locations firing up into the windshield and make little pods for the tweeters in the A piller or sail panel locations. I believe that will give you much better results. I love those locations in my Tundra.

Good luck with the rest of your build!
 
Thanks for the reply ballz. The Corolla I am working on doesn't have factory dash 'speaker locations so I am fabbing small pods that I'll attach to the door pockets, I'm wanting to keep this install as stealth as possible. So far I have made foam duffers for the pods and have the composites cut out, 4 layers of 4.8oz Toray carbon with one layer of 6oz 'glass over all.

The pods look large for the Morels but most of the inside will be filled with CLD, should be nicely stiff and dead.View attachment 16052View attachment 16053View attachment 16052View attachment 16053
