Sorry about the cocked up order The forum seems to have changed meaning the post read newest first and you can only post 10 images at once and you cant delite posts or threads ( I aint moaning by the way )

Cheers everyone for advise and help on the forum giving me ideas on what to do whilst making the pods ....

Nice one those look pretty good! Much better than just cutting a hole in the door card...

[Nevo]

yea well not only that i didnt have much room to work with seen as 1. i havent got eleci windows plus the gap once the glass was down was not very much esspecially for the size of speakers i wanted
To say it was my first attempt I think i did pretty good
:) :D :)

[novait]

[Aamir]

[NASTYNOVA]

[Nevo]

Easy peasy to make only took me 1 nite to make the base's and Fibreglass them , then leave them to dry overnight . Next day started body filling and sanding , then painted primer on and left over night then next day painted and laquered them

yea sure here it is im planning on getting some nice little black wheels , lowering and exhaust system and my mate works in a spray shop he's suppose to be painting it metalic Subaru Blue CHEAP !! once the boss go's on holliday ;) .....

[CoupeUK]

The icing on the cake would have been if you'd flushed them into the doorpockets ;)

Exactly what i was thinking! They look good though :thumb:

[ednovasr2]

[loggyboy]

Not bad, but i would have angled them up slightly to get the speakers pointing more at your ears.
