I'm building some doorpods for my midbass and tweeters, and I cant figure out a good way to aim them. My problem is that I cant find something that will hold strong enough, but is also soft enough for me to move the speaker around to a point where it sounds good.

For those who have done it, what method did you use to aim your doorpods/kickpods?

I've tried hotgluing strips of AllRound, but the glue doesnt hold well enough and the speakers fall off.

Thanks for any help.

^ Yep. Get some plumbers strap and use two strips of it laid out in a U shape, about 6-8" long. Screw one end to the kick panel base and one to the baffle. Do that for both strips. Now you can bend, pull, and stetch how you want your baffle to be. Once you got it how you want, get in there and glue in some 1/2"x1/2" square wood dowels.

Alright I'll try that, I never though of screwing the strapping right to the fibreglass base, or never though of 2 u shaped strips.

Thanks for the help guys.
