Feeler:Audiophile Door Speaker Enclosure

[foglght]

OMG isn't this kind of a MUTE point considering all the loud ass mufflers, engine revs, and fucked up noises our 20+ year old cars make??? If you have a new 335 and you are redoing your stock setup, have at it! Fuck I would be happy with anything better then what stock shit came with the damn car.

And having said this, I totally respect all of your opinions on this subject, SERIOUSLY!
I'm just questioning the fact that, is an E30 truly the right aspect of venue to seriously be considered worthy of such a high level discussion such as this?
Every point you, extremely knowledgeable gentlemen, make is incredibly valid for another better equipped audio-theater conducive environment, for example: an X5 or S500. Something a bit higher end maybe, where minor bumps and road noise are going to pose significantly LESS of an impact on your very sensible auditory receptors.

I could be wrong here. But thats just me.

DAMN CARRY ON!!!

What is it with people from California lately?

Whoops!

It's moot point, not mute.

I choose the word MUTE on purpose, hence it being in all caps. It's a fricken Audio discussion for cryin out loud - it was a Double entendre, and a play on words if you will. Sorry you didn't get that grammar police. Text doesn't translate well I take it. I really do want to know, and these are honest answers to honest questions. The last two E30s I have owned are not what I would consider to acoustically friendly with all the snaps, clanks, and rattles.

And excuse my ignorance as far as acoustical knowledge goes. Now if you wanna talk about the best way to break down a lamb saddle, or the fastest way to take a full 4-up Rocky Jr. and get an full double airline or a half ballotine out of it then we can talk till the cows come home.

I'm looking forward to these door pods. Right now my speakers are so quite it sounds like my radio is on moot!

Will keep this thread updated as soon as I get a working enclosure in my hands. The fabricator just moved into a new facility so he's been settling in.

You know dude I've been building some myself to start selling so first off F you for the competition but secondly make sure the mount for the speaker is out far enough because that location backs right up to the window motor. The picture you show of what type used to be made looks like the speaker would mount flush with the map pocket itself and in that case you wouldn't be able to mount much of a 6.5 in there. Also a hole in the door panel is absolutely necessary and once you make that hole, boom, theres the window motor. Anywho just my 2 cents.

Man you are an asshat. I was just supposed to assume that based on the stupidity of your argument that you are intelligent enough to craft a play on words...

The point here is that some people would like to upgrade the sound in their vehicles. I don't believe that there is a rule anywhere that you must have a brand new 335i in order for better sound to be a worthwhile addition to your car.

But your argument above was that better sound in an e30 is pointless. And my point here is--that's a stupid argument. The original poster felt the need to upgrade the equipment in his car and thought there might be others with the same thought. So he's offering his upgrade potential to the community, I think that's great being that large companies no longer put effort into our older cars. New upgrades are harder and harder to come by as the vehicles get older and less and less of them are still on the road, so its up to the dedicated members of the community to turn ideas into products, so I applaud the idea.

What he said, but my point here is that i will not cut my door panels and i need pods for my 6.5s

[reelop19]

^^^ dude if you don't want to cut your door panels then you need something different and you need to forget about these. I build mine out enough to fit good sized speakers and if I built them out any further they would hit your leg and seriously be in the way. If I were you I'd get another set of door panels like yours and cut those and then install these because its a great upgrade for your sound system

You can't make door pods big enough, without cutting the door panel, to fit 6.5" drivers.

[vicrossi]

Sign me up for a set please.

[fporro]

I'll take a set for 8"s
Thanks.

[DrMcDave]

you can toss me on that list. My stereo was stolen out of my ix so I need to restart.

[Grif]

Any updates on these?

[StereoInstaller1]

Thanks.

I don't think he was planning on doing them for 8".

I can't believe he is willing to make them or this price. There is no way I would do them for less than $250/set!

[reelop19]

I'm thinking these aren't getting made
