E30 Door Pods

[Steven]

I'm working on em!

[rcsoundn1]

I am interested as well. Looks great. I like how they used a stock location in the build as well.

[SoEm0]

I would be interested for sure. I was thinking about making up a set myself, however time is scarce these days.

We have a Nissan GTR at our shop right now that was shipped to us from Vancouver. We will be driving it up to the client when it is completed. I am excited to see the city, I have heard it is beautiful.

Thanks for the build link as I got a lot of placement ideas out of it.

I have been trying to find a way to reinstall the Dynaudio System 340 I have into the doors or kickpanels, but you bring up a good point of space. I might have to let go of the Dynaudios and go with the Illusion speakers you used as I do not want to cut any metal either.

Do you have a number I can contact you at?

The set I made were secured to the door card, as well as attached to the door with a rivetnutted bolt and a bracket. For a detailed look at the installation, you can check our build log for the car: http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/...o-mosconi.html

One thing to note, it would be a little tricky to fit a conventional speaker in there without cutting. A 5 1/4" might fit. We use the Illusion speakers that have a top mounted magnet/motor assembly. We weren't allowed to cut any metal in this build.

I had thought of pulling a mold off these when I was priming them, but I didn't think there would have been a demand for it.

We also did a subwoofer in the passenger footwell. Overall the car sounded really good, even considering the constraints of the installation. Let me know if I can answer any questions regarding the installation.

Sounds like I need to make these

[AlexHale]

Would this kill the door cards? Sell it un painted tho,

[mcskibadee1]

Damn, I kind of love it. You get a group buy and people will be in for sure.

[jrobie79]

how are the fastened? just to the door skin or to the actual metal frame below?

[Steven]

Joey, if you have extra time, im sure you could get a group buy going and sell quite a few of these.
also welcome to the forum. is that your M3?

That m3 is from Colorado.

Hello Steven, I am flattered that you like the door pods I built. I spent quite a bit of time coming up with a design that would allow a speaker to fit without cutting any metal as well as be aesthetically pleasing and compliment the design of the OEM door. If you would like to see more of this build done by my shop you can check out our website at:

We would be glad to serve any E30 owners if they are looking for a similar level of quality work.
Thanks.

Yeah it looks great, I'm going to make something similar but using fiberglass... Good luck....

[mrcheezle19]

I'd be in. how is the sound compared to stock?

[simplicityinsound]

here are some more pics of the pods we built. one thing though, virtually no fiberglass was used in the construction of it. wood and filler and a lot of router work :)
















Cheers :)
