Nicely done! Great idea with the corian... definitely something I never would have thought to use! I actually thought it was granite... hahaha but corian explains everything.

Would definitely love to hear your car some day.

Could you explain what you did on the frame of the door(mid range/tweeter)? What material did you use to make the mounts? It looks like you built all of the trim that goes from the mid/tweeter to around the door (not just the speaker mounts).
More pics?
Maybe stock VS what you've done?
I will find more pics when I can.

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking.

we used the stock A pillar cover, made cut outs for the midrange to breath through the space going under the dash (IB, sorta) played with aiming for a couple of months, made the Corian rings, and hot glued them to the A pillar cover then covered in cloth then fiberglassed, then sanded and sanded and sanded some more.

I'm not sure what the layout is going to look like. The sound dispersion I'm not concerned about since the grills will only be used when the car is parked and for display.

Other then that the grills will be off during listening times.

That mopar logo is so wild...I totally didn't see that....

Lets hope it does not come to that....While in motion I'm not worried....when she's parked is when they'll be covered at all times!
