Mark, this was a labor of love for your dad. This is honorable.

Mark, I've used headliner material like this in past builds also. One trick my upholstery buddy, that I get my materials from, showed me was to spray rubbing alcohol on the material and the foam backing will release very easily. The alcohol will evaporate quickly and you're left with a perfectly clean finish material to work with. I know it's not much, but I've picked up plenty of tips, tricks, and advice from your videos so I wanted to give back a little. Keep up the great work man!

You go to extra lengths on your builds and I know that you aren’t the only one doing this, but you are the only one who is doing it to this level on this medium and we who are watching know how much you care about your work quality. That matters!

A little advise for your body work.When the bonding has dried enough to sand. Before sanding,wipe bondo with lacquer thinner on a rag to remove the film of goo on bond before sanding so sand paper doesn't clog up.That will help you save more sand paper and it will actually sand So much better.Ive restore cars for 30 years so its tricks like that,that has helped me alot.Im very much OCD like your self.Good luck and I love to all your videos.Great work. God bless..

Its odd that many body men do not do this themselves. But it definitely will save you on sand paper for sure and that stuff is getting up there in price!

Another Excellent Video! Thanks Mark for taking the time to show us your expertise. Its been Awesome watching your progress and growth. Keep up the good work!

Always happy when you drop a new vid. Your attention to detail amazes a hobbiest like me. Have learned alot from you. Thanks for all the tutorials you do. Keep the vids coming.

Another amazing result , love the attention to detail on all your builds.

Thank you for this Mark, I want to modify my door cards in the future. And this was the perfect tutorial for me.

That speaker cloth idea is really cool

Probably one of the best channels in KZread. I've have come up with many ideas for Harleys from this channel

Those A pillars look sharp! I’ve done dozens of them and Mark looks very confident doing them, which always provides for excellent results. I got into car audio in the 80’s (dual 10” subs in 1986!) and learned some hard lessons from installers who didn’t have the same degree of confidence.

CarAudioFabrication, i cant wait to see your next video demonstarting and reviewing these speakers!

Beautifully done Mark. I'm going to bet this will sound spectacular. I imagine it will be AudioControl processed and powered of course. Should turn into a phenomenal system. Nice use of acrylic. Amazing how the usual fabrication materials have changed over the years from routed MDF to much more resilient acrylic. And gotta love those XT60's. The perfect little connector.

This is the perfect video for me. I have CT Sounds Meso 3-way set ready to go in my truck. I had the adapters which look really close to yours 3D printed. I just have to find the time to get it all done now. Thanks for another great video!

You are a next-level artist. Absolutely gorgeous fabrication and design. Well done.

Great craftsmanship and ingenuity! Immensely helpful to learn from and useful for my level of projects.

Such a nice install. Your dad will be proud

That looks great Mark! Can't wait to see the next video.

And that is what professional work looks like.. Enjoyed watching it.

Wow! I’m super impressed with your work. I really admire your attention to detail, I hope someday I can fabricate like you

Nice "Squeaks and knocks" he's got, all car jokes aside your work is the only work I idolize. You're marvelous at what you do. Keep it up! 😎

As always mark. Great video !!! And awesome to see the JL Audio support !!

Cant wait to design, build and install mine Mark. Thanks for the how to vids!!!

i like the way you mixed that mixture to make sure the activator is mixed well

Simple and beautiful! Killing it mark!

Your woodworking skills are top notch, looking forward to see you work with the fibreglass!

Wow. Amazing work Mark. Thanks for posting.

Wow! Excellent work Mark!

This is a professional work ~ Great Job !

You have an amazing talent!

Mark watching your videos cost me money buying tools and supplies damn you. Keep up the good work love the videos

I once had a ford transit woofer speaker and a tiny speaker out of a toy and wired it in parallel with the ford speaker and had them wired directly to a headphone jack, plugged it into my mums iPad and they both worked at quite a decent volume and sounded really good, there was a small capacitor in series with the small speaker I used as a tweeter

Your work is A1, love the videos, Thanks for making them, I feel like you’re the “Crutchfield” of KZread.

I watch all of his videos even when I know that I will never have the talent to create these projects....

Nice work Mark 👍🏼 Thanks for sharing!

Yes! Been waiting for this post!

those pillar pods look awesome nice work

You’ve asked in the past for ideas of things we would like to see. I recently created A-pillar pods modeled after the ones you made your dad. I used the unfinished version of them for months before I finished them, but when I finished, to my surprise, the sound got much, much better. Anyway, that got me thinking it would be nice to see you do an example of how aiming the speakers can affect the sound using and RTA, and maybe an example of how finishing them affects the sound as well. I really wasn’t expecting much change as they have two+ layers of fiberglass on top of the fleece, so I figured that was enough density, but adding different fillers really helped.

As always, love all ur videos mark . I'm planning a build on my yukon and planning on making some a pillar pods for my mids and highs . Keep up the great work . 😀👍

Looks SHARP man! 👍🏻

This is exactly what I need to do with my 2017 Toyota Camry SE. Damn you're GOOD!

Mark in the dark, your dads truck came out awesome my friend

Another awesome job and video

I love your shop! I do not have the patience for this kind of work. I'm a Master Machinist by trade, but this stuff is like art work!

Holy crap: these look almost exactly the same as some sail panel pods I am making at the minute! I used photogrammetry to scan the car interior and built the pods in cad, and have completely 3D printed the first prototype. I made little grilles on the printer that attach with neo magnets and covered them with speaker grille cloth. They look sweet, but the design needs a little refinement before I do the final print and install (my cad skills are level: slow). I reccomend trying out Meshroom for photogrammetry. All you ned is a camera that you can lock on 'manual' mode so the settings for each picture are the same. Might make a lot of your fabrication easier? Nice one Mark.

wow good shit i appreciate ppl like you thanks for sharing your valuable knowledge man

Glowforge isn’t the MOST used tool in my shop but it’s been the most helpful. What used to take a day takes a couple hours and you don’t even get dirty. Lol 👍🏻

You're great. very nice work !! Bravo !!

Great info Mark. I like that you showed us the way to do the edges. I had a door panel crack on me at the edge from the mid-bass. 2 T2 6.5" per door deadened to shit. I just didn't know how to do the edge properly and it was to week to take the beat. As always thanks for the time you put into the videos and the info you share.

Brett Brassard did you mount the mid bass to the door panel (door card), and not the door itself?

@@farfromovin I fiber glassed everything to the door panel without adding mounting to the door skin. Plenty of ccf between everything just didn't make the enclosure solid enough. I was my learning curve, next time will be way better and more solid.

AWESOME VIDEO!

As always, beautiful job. Really want to do something like that on my 03 dodge ram. Been somewhat happy for awhile with what I did but now I find i want more depth and volume. Maybe when I'm feeling brave enough I'll pick up a couple a-pillars and give it a shot. Will need new speakers though. My hertz are getting old and I'm sure wearing out.

Great Job! Looks Badazz....

Dude you the man! Enough said

Nice looking panels.

I would charge the crap out of clients if I had this skill! Badass install

This was great!!!!!

Omg, perfecto at it’s best 👍👍👍

Absolute bliss!

Nice job👍👍

Hey hopefully you upload a video, about how to set the gains in the amp to the 3 way speakers. And the accurate equalize on the system.

I love your channel

Have you ever done an install in a 4th Gen camaro,I want to do a component set in my mines but I don’t want to cut into my doors and or a pillars for the tweeters,great vids as always

Fireeeeeeeeee, this is tops 👌🏿

Looks good. I like they’re mounted on the same plane, and I agree they’re fancy grills to show off and be proud of. What’s your thoughts on enclosing the rear of the mid?

I feel, that 2 6.5 8's in a t line would suite this build perfectly

Do you feel the JL Audio speakers are worth the money? My $11 Dayton audio 3in FR sounds truly amazing.

I might be able to do this

Something I like about one of the just previous Toyota auris or Corolla is that the tweeters in the front actually face towards you slightly

Some tips, after the resin cloth dried, cut the plastic behind the cloth wide enough for fiberglass to goes in. Fiberglass from the back save a lot of sanding time and also better maintain of the shape form by the cloth, it is stronger on the baffle edge and doesn't crack easily. Another tips, for resin or putty to stick to the plastic, you should prepare the surface by sanding it with high grid until it is rough to the touch.

Super clean 👌 wish you could do my audio lol

Perhaps your best video

Please direct if you've addressed this previously. In a 3-way system, is the pillar always preferred vs kick panel for mids/tweeter? Is it based on active vs. passive tuning? What's your take on overall 3-way speaker placement for best soundstage (right/left & vertical)? Thanks! Great vids.

Hey, I love this build. I am attempting it myself. What connectors are you using on the cables and where did you get them?

Can you make the acrylic piece with a 3D printer? It won't be as solid but if you need to use it just for a shape then I don't see why not. It can also allow you to skip the steps for gluing pieces together and also adding the wooden dowels.

good job

Excellent video bro, i really appreciate ur work and i wanna thank u because i have learnt all the basics and expert stuff via ur videos, i need a little of ur expert advice. I have Pioneer 80prs and want to use active crossover setup, what components, amplifiers and sub woofer would u suggest? I love crisp and clear soundstage, with detailed separation of instruments. Currently i have Amplifiers: Pioneer gm 8604 & JBL GTO1004, i was thinking to upgrade my speakers! Would these amps be ok or do i need to upgrade them? Thanks in advance for ur precious advice

Would you consider selling a set of these pods? I too have an equinox that I’ll be mirroring your setup on. I’m glad I found your videos. Thank you for sharing with us!

Quick question... How did you get the upholstery to sit inside the edge of the acrylic without wrinkling? The video shows the wrap and the cut, but not that one part. Great work as always.

Nice video!! But why dont you listen in the position of the speakers? I am thinking of reflektions of hard sufaces in the car.

can you do the super budget build please idk what speakers are good and i dont wanna buy somethin bad

My grandfather once told me that every skill you learn is like having a job that pays forever. I’m 40 years old now and man he was right. I used to fix boats with fiberglass, cars with bondo and other resins. When I hit a metal block with my Aventador SV I made a whole new front spoiler out of carbon fiber. And now I’m getting into car audio as a hobby and sure enough, here’s resin work. You could also use carbon fiber cloth to cover that whole piece. I would recommend using an AB resin that’s UV resistant though vs fiber glass resin. Then heat gun it to remove bubbles and make it look real nice. Btw I purchased the 5 channel Audio control based on your recommendation sounds incredible.

I always enjoy watching your videos !! What would something like that cost in your local market ?

Nice work Indeed build for me custom rear billar right and left tow speaker in each side twitter and spear mid rang 4 inch For my car Camry xse 2019

Hi, I would like to know, I want more voice in my sound, I already have my system installed. Jlaudio c5 ,c2 and c2 6.9 3way coaxial I like more What do you recommend me ? I love jlaudio c7

Mark can I use the Focal speaker pods? I would to place them in my Surburban and tilt and aim them to the doom light. Then finish it with cloth and fiberglass like these.
