Alright. Yea for sure. I was just curious what size speakers you used because I have 5.25" grills I'm using just as a reference and to make sure my mounting surface is flat an then noticed that the 5.25" grills barely fit and wasn't sure if 6.5" were gonna fit but they should. You made 6.5" speakers fit. How was the fitment on the 6.5"? Tight fit?

maybe Escalade bound?
Project looks good. Quick question: I noticed you guys are putting the tweeters in the pods vs in the A pillars. Why is that? Does it produce better sound from there?
pillar is better for stage/image usually. different components perform differently, and nobody has the same set of ears so its kind of whatever makes you happy. personally i prefer to have the tweeters higher in the cabin, so typically the pillars are a great location. the bose pillars have the tweeters in about the ideal position for what i like.

Been MIA for a few days, just got back from a vacation. Starting to get things mocked up tonight but I'm not gonna cut any holes till I get my speakers. And I changed things up a little bit. I'm gonna be running Rockford 5.25" T1 components. 2 sets in the front doors and one set in the rear doors. I also got a sneak peak of the new PWK Designs box.

Thanks guys. Got my speakers today. Time to start cutting some holes. I'm also gonna run all new 16ga speaker wire thru the doors because I'm gonna mount my crossovers under the rear seat next to the amps and then its just a short run from the crossovers to the 4-channel amp. I'm gonna make an amp rack with a lid that opens up to check out everything and I'm gonna maybe put a plexi-glas window in the lid so you can see everything when the lid is closed. And I'm gonna throw some neons in there to light it up at night and fans to keep everything cool.
I wouldn't do 6.5's. Just my opinion. Wayyyyy too tight of a fit. I was gonna do 2 sets of 6.5's also and they were not gonna fit. The mock ups I did that is in the pic with the circles of the speakers, those are circles for 5.25" speakers. Barely fits. One thing to keep in mind is a 5.25" speaker with the grill is 6.25" overall diameter and a 6.5" speaker with a grill is 7.5" overall diameter.
