Caution with covers like these however is that I think they affect sound dispersion (could just be in my head too?)
Absolutely they will - any time a tweeter or mid is inset into a baffle you will alter it's sound. Add a grille on top and it changes it more. My A-pillars sound way better when the actual A-pillar cover is off. lol, I ran the car for probably a year that way before putting them back on.

You were there too. I asked, is it going the right way and you just shrgged your shoulders.


All kidding aside, this car is really well done. And not just because I helped a bit. There are soo many neat ideas and attention to detail. Is was a fun build.

Nice! Stealthy trunk, about as clean as I've seen. Have to give it a listen this year. Just about hit the floor laughing at the phone pole wire pic. Good work.

Bad picture angles, only about 10% blockage, no difference was heard or measured by separating them any more than this amount.

no one will be hearing this car, I won my trophies, sold the Hybrid stuff and everything is now in the for sale section, getting a new car, starting a new build.
