Silverado DDZ build

[ChaseinBass]

Did some Illuminati shit that I learned in geometry class to find the center of the circle

Mid fit

I used a hole saw to cut the tweeter mounting hole. Mistake to leave the mid mounted in the baffle. The edge of the blade bit wrong and skipped onto the cone of the mid. Tore through the dust cap and part of the cone //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Now I got a stencil for future reference..

Here's everything mounted in the door. Probably going to bondo the edge of the plywood layers and then wrap with fabric

Kinda impressed Big Homie ! They would have really benefited from you finding the router I think though.

I'm more of a function over form kinda person. If it's loud and sounds good, I could care less what it looks like

Thats my prob ! I want best of both and thats pretty hard sometimes but I keep working at it ! OP sounds like he has got it all down on tech side atleast alot more than I do esp for his age and the implementation of the plan will improve as he redoze it 300 times lol plus once you get it playing you can always make it look the way you want it.

I had to space them out from the existing speaker holes. I think stock was 5 1/4. Otherwise, it wouldn't fit

i could swear all our trucks were 6.5 in the doors but they have tiny mounting diameters on stock speakers or something, it was hard to fit a 6.7 in there.

This is the biggest build I've ever done, so it's a learning process

Yeah, will most likely re-do it again

I'm thinking about covering the box with mirrors..... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif

I can go take a picture of the hole with a tape measure. Definitely smaller than 6 inches

 

[ChaseinBass]

Well speaker might be 6.5 but magnet is like one off a 3.5 so either you gotta space it out or grow a pair and cut it out lol I tried to Do everything but cut it out and was never happy with the sound or looks of it so I cut the ***** !

Its better you dont.. Replacing a panel is cheaper then welding or replacing a door.

Yeah, I agree. My truck is a lot more expensive than my car was.

Plus, I've only got one vehicle now

I wouldnt cut that truck either I gotta say lol mine is old 96 so its ok and I cant really resale it for enough that that would be a deal breaker and also I only do things I got a plan B for as in being able to put stock ones or atleast replacement speakers if I did want to sell it. Except for the two 3 inch holes i drilled through the bed floor for electrical in tool box and even then I could put another tool box back in and cover them up. Ha Ha
