MiloX's 2012 Raptor SQ Build

Yeah... I am ok with losing the defrost. The duct looks very easy to remove and replace if necessary.

If I go that route, I'll mold the enclosure into that cavity. But I need to test em out first.

If I don't go the sail panel route, I'll probably make some dash pods. Just need to figure out the best approach to integrate for a more oem look.

The plasti-vinyl texture is not the easiest look to reproduce. May have to recover the dash completely if I go that way.

you can fit them behind the grill where the woofer is. that way its hidden

In the door?

you should be able to. or in the panel possibly

Because these will be playing 250 and up, I'd like to keep them as high as possible.

We'll see! Either way, I am super excited to experiment with these.

If they don't work, it'll be ok. I'll just go with my stand-by Dyn 362.

you wont lose that much in speaker performance with that small of a location difference.

im running focal for my setup.

Had some folks on another forum ask for a shop tour so I figured I may as well post it here... So here it is... Pretty much your average suburban garage.

Ok... Here's the shop tour with a little Less Than Jake soundtrack in the background.



And before anyone gets all upset... The shop system is a HiVi/Swans M10... Not A10.

Such a great sounding little system for super super cheap. Here's the link. $129 bucks. That's just stupid cheap.

Anyways.... If you like the vids... LMK... And I'll keep doing them. I may even break out the nice camera.

Annnd some progress. Actually a step back due to my cognitive deficiencies.

However, I persevere and fix the error of my ways with our good friends the Rabbeting bit and the flush trim bit.
