    Got these last year for my Jeep Grand Cherokee. They were the perfect solution to add 3 1/2 midrange to the A pillars. They fit perfect. Sanded a little to paint matte to match A pillar. Extremely happy. Had aluminum pods made, but they stuck out way too much. These look and blend so much better and at a fraction of the cost of having something custom made. Didn't take too long to get either.

    What a brilliant idea! I'm not crazy about the finish, or the exposed screw heads, but man there's a LOT of value in these! I think even just wrapping them in carpet of vinyl would be a major upgrade, and with the hardware exposed, it gives the option to showcase it with contrasting fasteners. Not a motif for everyone, but when you're working on a budget, turning limitations into features is a great way to make it work! I really like these from an entry-level DIY fabrication base, too. Maybe you're a bit adventurous, but not experienced yet? These are a phenomenal platform to play with. Cool stuff!

    I got these for my truck. I like most, didn't want the exposed screws so I did have some body filler already so I filled the holes sanded and repainted, then got some industrial 2 sided tape and it works just fine. Also sprayed the inside of the pod with flex seal to deaden any strange vibrations that may happen.

    This is a really interesting product. I've made a lot of fabricated pods across time, and I would be more likely to use this as a shortcut to a custom panel. Even if it is going to be tacked on without integrating the upholstery, I think I would epoxy in the screws to make them studs, and then vinyl wrap to eliminate the exposed fasteners. I think the company should consider integrated studs on the face of the panel, and just have exposed screws in the jam. That would be a lot cleaner. Then you could just use spray vinyl dye to get the right color and matte finish to better integrate the panel. At least that's how I'd do it. Thanks for sharing this vid!

    Great review. I think these would be absolutely fantastic for older / classic vehicles, especially those with flat door panels. Though not perfect, they would be a HUGE time saver compared to making your own. You would also have a great place to start if you choose to create your own trim around them to hide hardware and seams.

    I would highly recommend using some sound deadening on the back side of these pods. With them being made out of a fairly thin plastic, they WILL buzz and vibrate. A good layer of deadener on the inside of each pod should eliminate or at least greatly reduce the potential for unwanted vibration.

    These work great! I have all of them in my 300. Front doors, rear doors and a pillars. A good chunk of change, $575. But fabricating on my own my estimate was $1000 in materials and tools and about 3-4 months of weekends to complete minimum. And it would get messy. These pods save 🤑, 🕓 and 🤬. You can add sound deadening to the inside for stiffer pods but deadening is for metal not plastic so a better idea is spraying a resin like epoxy, epoxy enamel, anything meant for repairing appliances on the backside and that will help with stiffness, but I think it's unnecessary if your reasoning is qwelling vibrations being these don't vibrate much as they aren't connected directly to metal vs stock locations, unless using real midbass 8" like I do in rear doors. For the screws and lock nuts cake them with liquid tape as you're screwing them into door panels, which should obviously be completely removed from auto and installed while on work bench. You can also use a rubber gasket under every screw head as you tighten. Don't forget to use speaker tape foam(thinner better) to seal woofers well. Deadening on 50% of sheet metal, tape or cover anything loose like a factory wire harness or some random door part that moves and might hit metal(don't tape or deaden anything mechanical that moves and has a function). Don't forget to deaden as much of the outer door sheet metal as you can as it's hard to get through the inner sheet metal to attach deadener to outer sheet. And very important use acoustic foam(closed cell foam) behind your speakers. Create a wall of sort, not airtight like a subbox(sealed door enclosures are awful for midrange) but the surrounding area directly behind the speaker magnets. No need for "fast rings" as those are meant for creating a tunnel to door panel opening to prevent sound from escaping into your door voids if you have to use factory speaker locations, which with pods you are not. Thank CustomSpeakerPods! Your other options are very limited and for most there are no other options. I know a guy who fabricated his own and it took him an entire summer and in the end he wasn't happy. You can't get back time.

    Customspeakerpods makes great products. I bought a set of 2x8 inch speaker pods and 3.5 inch a-pillar pods for my f250 and they look great. Of course I had to do some door panel trimming but it wasn't much of a stress. The plastic they are made of is pretty flimsy and light, but I solved that problem with some sound treatment/deadened. Even for their price, they're great. Spent about $300 for all the custom pods and another $400 for 4 8 inch mid woofers and a pair of 3.5.

    Those look cool and all but your using a large driver that will handle some good bass and those pods are flemzy and will flex a whole lot and you will not only lose most of your bass but most likely will get rattling, one of my old time mentors used to say the best subwoofer box in the world would be made from solid concrete because then there is sure to be no flex lol. Anyway as long as you don't expect to play much bas then these are fine but in my opinion they need alot of reinforcement to even be half decent.

I'd like to build a pod an raise the speakers in doors or better have a pod that aims toward my face any suggestions. thanks excellent video on pods

    Not worth it for that ugly plastic look. Yea it took designing and technical measuring but once you got a single mold/blueprint you start pumping these things out for pennies. They could atleast throw a layer of carpet, vinyl, material, fur, heck even paint when you paint 150$ for no work that's just too ugly imo. It's so simple to wrap them to look nicer but I can't justify buying them for such a steep price if I have to wrap/paint them myself to make them presentable. I guess it's cool someone out there is selling pods this big and for such locations tho

    Customspeakerpods makes great products. I bought a set of 2x8 inch speaker pods and 3.5 inch a-pillar pods for my f250 and they look great. Of course I had to do some door panel trimming but it wasn't much of a stress. The plastic they are made of is pretty flimsy and light, but I solved that problem with some sound treatment/deadened. Even for their price, they're great. Spent about $300 for all the custom pods and another $400 for 4 8 inch mid woofers and a pair of 3.5.
