So i have been working on my door and just want you guy to see how it's going. i will keep you guys posted as it goes. I am running Dynaudio 3 way estec 7" mid bass 4" mid and 1" tweeter.


step (1) I started by cutting out my opening for my 4" Mid

Step (2) I made the pod to hold the mid by useing 3/4" MDF wood and body filler

Step (3) mount the pod in the door. Then I made a ring to hide the mounting hardware.

i am running a kenwood dnx 9980 nav unit . the doors should be done by next week if i can get the time to work on them. Also i will be doing a build out for the rest of my system more to come. BTW thanks guys i have put a lot of time into this system.:top:

SHHHH haha. My bad. I just was too impressed with the pics. I don't think I have heard of that brand before.

Dynaudio is a very high end set of speaker. They are more known for their home audio. Dynaudio make one of the best sounding speaker out their.
