custome speaker boxes..

[joshuaaa]

has anyone built any custom speaker housings for mid range speakers that sit on the rear shelf but face forward?

[smonkbmw]

why? can you not hear your rear speakers? most people complain about not hearing the fronts very well.

[joshuaaa]

no i installed one of lukes (steroinstallers) subboxes with ports that go into the stock speaker housings.. and my fronts sound terrible so i wanna set my rears back up somehow..

^Best solution is to upgrade your front speakers. Go with a set of components. If you are still unhappy with the sound, then it's time to relocate your front "woofers" (midbass drivers) to the door card/map pocket to bring the sound stage up. That's my plan.

[joshuaaa]

any idea what your gonna upgrade with??

Use luke's exile components. They are awesome.

^What he said... then you wanna relocate the midbass portion of the components onto your door card like below.

[joshuaaa]

do you guys know what the price for that stuff is and how easy it is to install on my own?

Still too low IMO. Mine are like 2 or 3'' above the map pockets.

I did it myself and I'm a noob. I don't know an itemized price - I ordered alot of stuff from luke.

I demand pics :)

Dont know if I would qualify this as an easy thing to do without buying premade ones. How did you go about it Turf? I'm going to do fiberglass then wrap with vinyl... but definitely wouldn't call that easy.

Joshua has an early model: door speakers are damn near impossible except in some kind of "pod".

I think I might be able to fit a set of components from Titanium Power in the early doors, I will take my parts car apart to see if they can go.

I might go as far as to make a template if a bunch of people are interested...

yeahh soo if you get any ideas luke, definately let me know.. i might just build 2 housings for my speakers as a temporay in the back cuz so i have some mid ranges.. but yeahh thanks for the input guys.

very helpful as i know nothing about car speakers..

Wow. Those pods look identical to mine. The placement is fine IMO for Midbass as long as you put the midrange in the stock kickpanels.

so who is gonna post up a DIY for these door card speakers pods. im really interested in one.
