Door Upgrade
So i finally got sick enough of the lousy 4x6s GM placed in the front of our cars and decided to give it a facelift. Stopped at the American Bass HQ in Maple Heights today and picked up a few speakers:
6 6.5" SQ-65CBs
2 SQ-T2 tweeters
Ill be building the panels tomorrow. Im not sure if i can add the 4x6 to the panel as well. would that work? i dont see why it wouldnt. updates to come

Are all of those going on the door panels??
You're gonna need some 26z and candy paint, too, if so. Lol j/k. But don't do anything with those stock 4x6s.. throw them away.

I would of only went with 2 6.5's per door to maintain a normal ohm load.

i was thinking of adding the 4x6s to even out the load. does that work? or even the 5.25s in the back
and i didnt have enough cash on me to get another pair

That wont work.
Because its a different speaker. Must all be the same speakers to function in that fashion.

You will have like 1.5 Ohm load.
It will work providing the amp can hang with it.

I thought those are 8 ohm speakers? 3 of those will give you 2.6ohms per channel.

I'm doing something similar.
Two DD 6.5s per door along with 2 DD tweeters.
400rms a side. Should be pretty loud.

So it figures just as soon as the doors come to place my sub's tinsel decides to explode. the terminal got knocked loose and it touched the basket, thus melting it (pics of the dmg below)
The doors are all ready to be cut for tomorrow. spent the time today planning out how it would fit with the contour lines and such. got a few tricks left up my sleeve but thats for when its going into the door.
drawing up the lines to see where to cut the panel
Aluminum siding piece used to make a mock up cutout so it was easily fine tune-able
Speaker layout. just fits
on the wood
where the tinsel is destroyed
never really got a good shot of the sub and i liked it in that light
