All metal door panels and cool 3D printed speaker pods for the 3 ways . Then we let the Alpine play, coming at you like NWA, or something like that.lol 3 Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted March 6, 2023 Report Share Posted March 6, 2023 Those midrange probably should be isolated from the midbass 1 Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted March 6, 2023 Report Share Posted March 6, 2023 Don't they sell cups that go behind the speakers to do exactly that? 14 hours ago, thisismatt said: Those midrange probably should be isolated from the midbass Quote Link to comment
mainer311 Posted March 6, 2023 Report Share Posted March 6, 2023 It won't make any difference. It's not a sealed enclosure. Quote Link to comment

The cups are for improving bass response by sealing off the back of the cone. I suppose they could also work to isolate, but I don't think it's needed in this application. 1 Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted March 6, 2023 Report Share Posted March 6, 2023 I know they do for 6.5's, mostly sold as protection from weather in the doors, but they are too small to leave fully enclosed around the driver if you want any kind of bass extension. I'm a little surprised Alpine didn't have any recommendations for air volume in the instructions, but maybe they do elsewhere. Last time I built a 3-way enclosure the mid had a specific separate chamber. Quote Link to comment

Right, doors are never fully sealed, but you don't typically want an open back mid sharing the same back plane/air space as the woofer/midbass Edited March 6, 2023 by thisismatt Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted March 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2023 Guys thank you for all the input I bought the 3 ways with the thought of moving the speakers in a order to look pretty as I always do. But since the door has limited space I decided to just go that route. I just want music listening to Turbo's all day suckkkkk.lol Quote Link to comment

mrbigtanker Posted March 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2023 Untitled by raymond medeiros, on Flickr Untitled by raymond medeiros, on Flickr Mounted the front bumper for now as it was chromed 2 years ago and I was tired of seeing it sit in the shed wrapped. Front valance is not on yet. Also notice the front bumper how all the holes and bolts are shaved for the clean blade look. 7 Quote Link to comment

pidge Posted March 26, 2023 Report Share Posted March 26, 2023 No worries Tanker. Trucks in storage right now so I gotta wait to get her out and have a look at the bolt sizes when I’m ready to swap to the new bumper. I too got the 3 holes filled. Nice stuff again man. 1 Quote Link to comment
