my tweeters came today

my speaker wire comes tommorow.... saturday and sunday i plan on fiberglassing my tweeters into my sail panels!not sure how im going to pull this off yet (As i have to dake the door panels off and that scares me!_ but anyway, its going to happen one way or another!

>>http://www.caraudio911.com/ < on that page the "Fiberglassing tweeter pods" link is wha ti'll be doing... only i'll be using a resin/hardener mix and mat instead of what ever the crap he uses.

can't really think of anything but i'll post pics as i start it tommorow. going to sand down the panelsand make my mdf rings.

(i just realized that the method i inteded to use to make my rings wasn't going to work!!! shit! how the fuck do i make ~1.3" mdf rings?!

I would say a router, but I have yet to own one. If you have a jigszaw that will work, just be careful with something that small.

that spells missing finger! lol hope it goes good ps great job on our site so far!

No missed fingers here! I made some rough rings, but the tweeters fit so im happy... they're not pretty. The dremel really proved useful today, i used my jigsaw to make a rough outline of the cut and thenused my dremel to sand off whats left... its not pretty so there wont be any pictures! until its done anyway.

edit: time to sand the sail panels!

edit 2: sanded down pretty much well enough. might work a little more on it tommorow.. but i will start glassing them tommorow.. hopefully i'll be able to ahve them all glassed and ready for paint sunday night.
