Well got everything covered. I still need to make the glass pods for the rear speaker. I pick the plexiglass in the morning and i'll just be waiting on the leds to come in. When thats done I'll re-cover the door panels.

Sorry it took so long me me to post another update. But I had some family issues. Anyway The Mazda is up to 146.1 playing music!!!. So i'm on target for my goal for 150 + on music. I haven't tried to burp it because at this point I really don't care what it brups. My plans for 2011 is to add 1 more Kinetik 2400, Trade my Sundown Saz-3000 for 2 Saz-2500 and get a high output alternator. I think these 3 upgrades will put me at the 150 mark on better. Anyway I went to junk yard and picked up some stock door panels. My current ones had been fiberglassed to hold 2 6.5 and 2 tweeters. I was never really happy with so I'm putting the stock back on. Only problem is my speaker are to deep. So i add alittle space by fiberglass some speaker rings to the grill. Here are some pics.








I still need to bondo and sand it down. To get ready for paint. Maybe that will be done ny the weekend.

very nice door pods, i like them!

We need larger pictures! lol

sorry man ....i do this stuff at work during down time. So most of the pics are from my cell

Well it was slow at work so the boss let me go home. I bored so I started on the rear speaker pods. Here are some pics

Its only 23 degrees outside. That to cold for fiberglass to get hard. So i cranked the heat up in my jeep (bad tranny) and put the glass parts in there 20 min later hard as a rock
here are some pics

did you have your old system in it when it was hoopty lookin

So have you ever heard your engine run? Any auto electric shop that rebuilds alts can do your alt up and it shouldn't cost you more than $160-$170. Where do you get enclosure specs or is that a trade secret. One way or the other that's some crazy work. Are you related to Mad Mike.

yea it had a system in when it looked like s---...lmao


There is no trade secret. The is the wide of the car from b-pillar to b-pillar about 12" deep then get smaller(wide wise) down to 39" wide and about 13 more in deep. And its 17.5" high. That give to a gross air space of 9.16cu ft. Then you subtract speaker displacement and your port to get your avaible air space. I have 7 cuft and the box is tuned to 35hz.




I found the alternator here is the link http://www.qualitypowerauto.com/catalog.php?item=252 . I order 2 of them. I'm going to pull the AC compressor and put one there and one in the stock location.

fore another 150 bucks you could buy one from mechman and have a 220amp alternator in a stock location.

yea another 150 plus shipping. the price is shipped. so for 150 more then i would of paid for a mechman alt i got 2 160 amp alt. I did order a voltage control mod. from Mechman so i can set my voltage to 15.1

so how does the rear speaker placement sound? I was flirting with the idea of putting rear speakers in that same exact location!

You'll be pumpin phat tunes but may experience difficulty in the 'chillin' department doin that.

So will the system ever really be finished? I suspect this is work that will always be in progress.

I never use the ac anyway. I don't know why. Ever car that I own has ac but I rather roll the window down.
And No this car will never be done. Thinking of going to 6-12's and changing to 2 Sundown 2500 or 2-3500. We will see what tax time holds. I do know I'm going to two-tone the car. I'm going to keep the white on the bottom and Candy Cobalt Blue on the top.
