Yikes! I like the pics you have, especially the little diagram you made for me. Maybe Big Al will be able to do something about it?

Lookin good. Gonna put a tweeter in the center too? A midbass?
Definitely looking sharp.
I've traditionally been anti-center-channel...
But you know what - if I had this vehicle and DSP, I'd be giddy setting up a center channel, knowing I could tweak that thing everywhere from distracting to non-existent. So awesome.

This attention to detail and documentation goes beyond most SQ competitors, too. With a good tune, you'll more than have something competitive here, if you ever wanted to throw your hat in that ring!

More fabrication today for the front door midranges. I'm going to make 2 sets of rings. One is 1/4" HDPE and the other is 1/8" ABS. The HDPE is stronger but the ABS will probably fit better. So, let's fab this Sh!t up and see.
Start by removing the factory speaker to make my master template:

Now like before transfer to scrap pieces of plastic:

The stack height here may be an issue:

I ran out of 1/4" HDPE scraps so decided to sacrifice the 1/4" amp rack I made. As I told you before, I was not 100% satisfied with it anyway. That, and the board was warped as delivered from the supplier.

Did I mention it is Fathers Day? I decided to treat myself since it was so dang hot and humid out.

The ABS is too thin to drive screws into so I used my trusted double sided tape to hold the pieces together:

Can you tell which rings I did on the router vs. what I did with a jig saw late at night with a few beers in me?

Now for the test fit in my door:
Attachment 11973
The 1/4" HDPE rings almost fit. But, the tab where the ring fits into the lower left hand pocket is too thick.
Attachment 11974
The ABS rings fit like a glove. But, they feel flimsy.

I think what I am going to do is modify the 1/4" rings to fit. I can shave 1/16" off this corner with a rabbeting bit and be good to go:

If I can finish my fabrication work MAYBE I will actually be able to install the midranges tomorrow...
