Custom fiberglass speaker pods

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.

Cool.Thanks for that. I'm actually planning to replace my speakers soon too but in the stock location.
Now for my next question. Why 2 sets of components in the front? Does it give a fuller sound? And wont that produce crazy highs?
Just asking because I'm learning and tryng to understand setups.

I wouldn't say it gives a fuller sound, it's just gonna make your overall max volume louder. And if you have a lot of upgraded speakers and no sobwoofers, yes it would be wayyy too much highs. But if you have a lot of bass it won't be to much highs. My new subwoofer I'm gonna be running in the PWK Designs box is a 15" putting out 1,100watts of RMS power. It's gonna be LOUD haha

So I've been making good progress on the new system but it sure is a big project. Just ordered all the wiring and misc stuff. Prolly still about another week or two before I get it all finished up.

Sounds like its gonna be a monster system. I'll be checking for the progress.

Progress update

Hey guys. I finally got everything in my hands for the build. So much stuff to install that I need a helper almost cuz I'm getting just a lil burnt out lol






I also have 3 sheets of 3/4' MDF board to build the new sub box and amp racks. Well it looks like I better start working on this project some more and quite procrastinating lol

Making progress. I got one door 90% done. Just needs to be wrapped in fabric and that door will be done. I like how everything turned out.

I finished up the doors today. Got everything wrapped in black suede. I used a few screws on the front door pods because they're kinda heavy with 2 speakers and didn't wanna risk them falling out from the doors slamming over time.

Now I need to start making the amp rack and subwoofer box and run all the new wiring (the fun part) haha
