Default Take two, c4 car audio

Now, for many of you, I understand this is not something up your guys alley. Look away if you're into making your car faster, I want my car to be a more pleasant place to be; it's my daily.
Anyways, this will interest the people who are into the sq tier of audio; not spl, I don't really care too much about that. I will be installing a 3 way component system up front in the car consisting of morel elate 9s, morel hybrid 4s, and morel supremo piccolo tweeters. Processing will either be done by an outboard dsp or pioneer p99rs, not there yet. I will also be redoing the trunk portion of my car probably this winter.

So, I'll just do a quick run down

So I started making the fiberglass enclosures for the 9s in the Door sills.
More over, the interior in my car needs serious tlc, so 2 birds 1 stone
This is the previous install with the morel elate 6s, looks like dog $ hit, but they did sound pretty good



This is a Mish mosh of left and right sides.
cut the sill panels and made the backsides of the enclosure to utilize as much air space as possible.

I'm pretty careful with the fiberglass so I don't really need to protect much

Mock up


Stretch fabric and fiberglass for shape




Fiberglass and ever coat mixtures after reinforcement with many layers of mat and resin, then final bondo.





Didn't really wanna do carpet, but it's the most durable and stock looking.


I'll try and get better pics later but that's it for now. Next will be the a pillar tweeter pods for these
