    Mercedes C AMG 63 - Focal Utopia MW 3,5 pillars mde by LBaudio

    Started to work on Mercedes C AMG pillars that will house Focal MW 3.5 midrange drivers. Ill try to make pillars with a matching design to the previously made sails that were two part two tone finish - Paint/leather and house Focal TBE tweter.



    so, lets start with the pics of the build:


    rings cut on the laser




    a bit of additional ruther work on the rings - mids will be flush mounted, rings were chamfered on the back







    Rings were soaked with polyester resin to obtain better bond between wooden ring and fiberflass filler

    Re: Mercedes C AMG 63 - Focal Utopia MW 3,5 pillars mde by LBaudio

    holes were drilled into the pillar and 3 layers of fiberglass applyed to them and trimmed






    fiberglass was smoothed out and pillars were taped off with ALU tape




    demoulding wax applyed



    on the back side I made quick plaster mold that would prevent pillar warping

    Inserts were smoothed out to some degree









    templates were made out of cardboard and taped off with ALU tape and attached to the insert







    filler was applyed to the outer part of pillar and later also to the insert
