like i said earlier, there was a ton of pre build testing done to get an idea of wheather it would be worth it. the speakers were tested in the boxes we wanted to build, then the same size boxes were built and listened to in the car. different locations for tweeters were experimented with but the final resting place for them wiil be dtermined when the dash mids are in and the winshield is in(the testing was done with windshield in)

tim, i love duct tape, the 3m tape is very good though

the dash should be completed next week, i have had some of the panels upholstered and the material is cool

So fill me in man! Whats your overall thoughts? Stage? Image?

with the test boxes on the dash i was quite happy with the width, like ive said before if you want it to sound like it comes from up there you had best put speakers up there. the mids werent in the exact spot that they are now for the initial test, the initial 6 ltr test boxes we build were done to test for tonality and reflection. mi also tested a 4" that i could fit where the 6" were eventually going to end up, this was done to test more for what you are asking about. i can tell you that the results we very promising. its impossible to tell exeactly what its going to sound like until its done, we had to build it first right. this project had shed a new light on how sound in cars works, we alos tested with kick pods and it was disgusting compared to the dash, god awful in comparision, but then again it takes 20 times as long to do it the way we are doing it so it had better sound alot better right, we have spent so much time testing and midifying this dash you cant imagine, i can tell you that the dash is farther along than the pics i show, the pics are about 7-10 days behind
