 tweeter angle tuning using string, chopsticks, tape |
 note I've setup for "crossfire" config |
 angle is a little off, what the heck.... |
 passenger side tweeter pod, view from driver's seat |
 close up of driver's side pod, sanded, primed and painted to match interior. Color match is good enough, though not perfect |
 passenger tweeter pod, had to modify the pod to adjust angle significantly |
 close up of driver's tweeter from passenger seat |
 close up of passenger tweeter, dang, dinged the paint! |
 my car audio "tool box" (fishing tackle box) |
 Rubbermaids rule! Dang, I need to clean up! |
 OK, sometimes cardboard boxes come in handy too. I've got too much loose cable.. |
 shoe box of junk |
 essential tools of the trade |
 more tools |
 old trusty dremel... |
 one of about 10 boxes of misc. hardware I have |
 my 12 year old Dewalt cordless, batteries are dying! |
 my favorite utility knife |
 cool blade cartridge, huh? |
 rear view, covers back on |
 front covers back on |
 a couple more tools: clip removal tool, SPL meter |
 template for speaker baffle/shims I made |
 much better, solid mount, pic before was temp mount |
 165K2 driver fits nicely with shim/spacer (tape so I can return the speaker after "demo" with no damage) |
 dimensions of the largest driver so far I'm aware of someone fitting in the doors of an Ody cleanly |
 165K and 165K2 side by side |
 look how much deeper the K2 is. Almost 3" mounting depth from flange... |
 Repostitioned the radio... maybe I won't do the extra trim piece... |
 added a piece of trim plastic between the pocket and head unit |
 No gaps now. Nice and clean, subtle. |
 Last speaker to go in this door: Dynaudio MW160 midbass |
 Big passive crossovers require their own platform |
 driver's side tweeter pod |
 passenger side tweeter pod |
 passenger side |
 driver's side |
 2" PVC pipe coupling, 60 deg bend = Dynaudio MD100 tweeter sleeve (yes, I know its bulky) |
 how to spray paint match.. aside primer, you need these items found at your local Home Depot |
 Here's the recipe for paint patching the plastic, if you interior matches mine |
 Friend had an older changer he wasn't using, so he gave it to me. Decided to mount it to the front of the sub console. |
 Made a "slip on" cover/protector to hide the changer from would-be thieves. |
 Top door hinges and swings open. |
 Construction of the cover. Note the cross member keeps the cover positioned by resting on the changer brackets. |
 Note the slot on the side walls; those slots fit over the side mounting screws of the changer, holding the cover in place. |
 Put some carpet over it to make it look stealth |
 Carpeting detail. |
 Hinged door still works great. |
 Top down view, cover closed. |
 Cover open, changer completely accessible. |
 Another from the driver's perspective. |
 Yes, it looks somewhat like an afterthought, because it was! But it is still very stealth, and functional. |
