Finished boot install

Yeah I can see it, door pod or don't expect to much mid bass.

THanks for the PICs Glidn

But I am bit confused to what a door pod is, so this freshly made fibre glass .........




IS A DOOR POD??? So bascially you molded another door ??
OR this fibre glass is connected to the metal frame and door card is snapped back ontop ????
I think I really need to see the finished product to understand this.

On another note, today I cut an MDF ring for the 6.5" as a kick panel, I realise it is WAY too BIG, the "ideal" position for the kick is getting in the way in the the pedal.
So similarly to a kick position and most feasible/ economical way is to make a spacer to have the door speaker tilted, ie protruding out, aiming at passenger. DO you guys think this would work.. ??
I also played with the 4" at the kick position too, it sounded wrong at different axis to the 6.5" at the door.

So perhaps, mounting the 4" and 6.5" on same axial protruding on an angle at the door ????

the pic you have there is merely the rear side of the doorpod. As the mk3 door is kind of a crappy design, the 2nd photo i showed that would be your standard door pocket. But think of that built out to the black line.

Then you can angle your speakers and build it to that. Then merely screw the whole pod to the door skin. Then once door skin is back on the door. Take 2 to 3 screws and screw them all the way throught the pod into the actual door. That way you get the proper bracing. Or you could put a wooden spacer behind the door skin, then merely bolt the doorpod / doorskin to the spacer. That way you still get structural rigidity.

if this make more sense, thats great. If not. I dont really have any intention really of finishing the door pod as i dont own a MK3 anymore.

But who know's i may finish them if i'm going to be playing around with one of our eurosport friends mk3's.

lol ... my imagination is not so bright tonight I am a bit lost.

I was actually looking forward to see the finished product and be inspired.

Anyhow so you reckon if I angle the speaker on the door slightly would work? CAn you think of any flaws ? as in stability of some sort ??

Glidn: I was looking at another forum and found this.

were you in the process/ on the lines of making something like this ??

Thanks for the link, the guy has some really good gear.


As far as angling the speaker towards you, that mean on AXIS if pointing towards you or OFF-AXIS not pointing towards you.

As for that strangely enough some speakers sound better off-axis then on axis. I guess it's more they play the flaws of the recordings therefore you can hear them clear as day light on axis but not off axis.

Depending on what happens i may yet finish them, biggest problem is i have to finish them off, but to a specific speaker. All thou many a speakers could sound ok to good in them but again it dependant on going 2 way or 3 way or dual mid bass. I realyl dont know, as i got rid of all my high end front components. Use to have Infinity Kapp Perfect 6.1's. I was gonna build them in Dual 6" mid in front. But sold the car before being able to.
