Dude I found this video by totally random and has shown me how to do what I've wanted to do for 15 years.

Man I don't think I could have found a more detailed how to on making door pods. This was amazing to watch! I didn't find anything vague or anything missed. You explained very well on the process of making these pods!

Nice build..! As an old school installer and owner of my own shop (3yrs) I will say this... Labor is expensive & when doing the work as a DIY home project the major concern is time available to do the job as quickly & clean as possible with as little sanding as possible cause sanding sucks lol... When I did custom pods I used sweatshirt material or a thick cotton Tee-shirt type material for the single reason of I hate sanding bondo because sweatshirt material or cotton is smooth... Using fleece creates more labor with a higher cost in materials and time & all the sanding needed prior to bondo... The easy way is use the materials I mentioned & if needed do two layer for strength but since reinforcement is done by glassing the back side usually one layer is enough & by using a smooth fabric it reduces the use of bondo etc... often times a simple scuff of 80grit is all that's needed... Super nice build as a father son project..! I'm just tossing out the way I did it... Hope it helps if you do this again someday.

This is a really clean build! Nice job on getting to the point and explaining the process clearly 👌

I'm 100% convinced i need to do this now. Thanks for the tutorial. Hopefully i can get somewhat close to this level of perfection

Fantastic! I made kick panel pods for my civic back in the day, same process. Love this, going to try for my current set up.

I have always used body filler and other items in a spray can (nozzle). Speeds up the work, and much less body filler is used. Well done.

Been wanting to do custom panels for my H2 but wasn't sure about how to do it. This is exactly what the doctor ordered! Man yours turned out DAF! Thanks for sharing👊✌

Your son will be a great man ! You’re a wonderful teacher and I can tell you’re cool to be around! Awesome video! I am confident I can do this, thank you!

I was proud to hear you tried to stand on it

Man you better get a tripod for Christmas lol. I love this kinda stuff

Bad ass.. ty for being real on how much work it is. Everyone else talks about how easy it is

You always get me motivated 💪🏽🔥🔥

Thank you!!!!! Everyone makes look hard you are the Man!!! Thank you!!

Happy to see that Buddy (Cute Boy) helping on the project

Awesome work man! Can definitely see the pride and craftsmanship in that!

Watching straight through, this was so impressive.

Done to perfection!

Great work! I love how you explain what you are doing, and why you are doing it that way. I have been watching a lot of car audio stuff...systems, wiring, choosing an amp, choosing subs, etc. I just don't want to mess anything up, so I try to find a pro to do the install. I have a rather small car...2020 Nissan Versa. I haven't seen any builds for this car yet. Please, keep making these informative videos bro! The sharing of knowledge is greatly appreciated!!!

You did an incredible job man! I can attest to the fact that it's no easy task. But you did a fantastic job dude. It looks killer!!

Damn i am so glad i found your page i love your content your door pods look amazing great work and love the step by step process

So I have a 2010 F150 Regular cab that I turned into an Audio project.I built a sealed sub box out of 3/4 inch birch.48 inches wide.34 inches tall.10 inches deep on the bottom and 6 inches on top.2 Fosgate 12 inch 2 Ohm DVC 2400 watt subs with a Fosgate 1200 watt mono amp powering them.I have 2 150 watt Fosgate Tweeters in the doors.2 6x8 350 watt Fosgates in the doors and 2 in the rear panels. I thought I was done and after watching your video I got INSPIRED to do the same.I am excited to get cracking.Awesome fabrication and thanks for sharing.

Excellent 👌🏾 you explained everything great. Straight to the point

Stunning build 👍

Awesome work man love watching your videos,everything is clean and done the right way

Holy sh$t,that sounds amazing my man! Also I should definitely say thanks a million for the informational videos you’ve put out this past year. Thanks to you and a couple of other people on KZfaq and A LOT of reading and research I am now self-sufficient with car audio installation and box building. I really learned the importance of grounding your wires correctly from your videos and how My shortcut taking affected my voltage. Super solid voltage now. Thanks a million my man!!!

That came out amazing

That's is one of my favorite installs to date

Excellent work! Turned out great for your first time! Thanks for posting the video, that 4 way fabric is hard to find!!!

I really enjoyed this video. That came out really good.

You make it so easy to understand I will definitely try this

Good job for your first ones. I would recommend not leaving the flaps inside of the speaker mounting locations. Even though you cannot see them from the front, those should be trimmed flush with the hole. The long flap will get inside the speaker from the backside and over time will create noise. I also recommend the Weldwood Landau contact cement mentioned below. I've used the cement you have here and had it turn gooey and let go in the summer heat (Oklahoma), but the Weldwood Landau has never failed me.

What a nice job you did here.

Another great video very well explained and detailed keep up the good work

Dang! Good job! Im going to use this method to fix the bottom of the door panel on my 1990 Honda Prelude! Thanks!

Suggestion, Next time use a spray/paint gun to get an even layer on both parts. It works best for me. Great job though for your first time.

The best contact cement for car applications in my experience is Weldwood Landau Top & Trim High Heat Resistant Contact Cement. Depending on the temperature, let dry for 15 and most importantly work small areas. You really only have a 3-5 minute window to get the fabric down. It’s well worth the trouble to just do small sections. It will make all the difference. (You did a pretty good job for your first door pod. Looks great 👍)

So glad i found this page.. Awesome build, i look forward to doing this same thing in my Ford Focus and Hyundai Sonata💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👌💯 I'm glued to my screen and intrigued even more

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing!

Great job man, thank you for makeing possible to learn this thing

Very nicely done man. Nice work.

really clean build! good job

Beautiful job bro 💪🔥. Love it ♥️

Awesome video bud very well explained and executed

Beautiful work their.

Brother that was super clean. Gained a new sub🍻🤙🏽

Great job man subbed and liked!! 💯💯💯

This literally is the best tutorial in KZfaq man.

Amazing job man, inspiring !!!

Beautiful job. All that hard work definitely paid off. Just FWIW 3M makes a spray contact adhesive that will cut that part down to just seconds. Holds like iron.

I feel like you taught me a life lesson at the end of your video. Great tutorial, will subscribe.

Looks awesome 👍👊

Good job man it looks great.

Great job man thanks for showing me how to

Thanks you...so much help with your video bud, about to do this project also except I'm painting it. Very good explanation 👏👌keep up the good work!!!

Great video man! I wish my door panels were so flat... unfortunately it will be a lot harder on mine but still gonna try it soon!

Awesome video, thank you!

Great video!!

Thanks for the detailed video!! Looks great! One question, roughly, how much did the finish product weigh before speakers?

Good job. I did the exact same thing on my truck. Only difference is I took off the bottom piece.

You showed bondo and cream hardener, do we mix it like the firberglass resign orrr????

WOW Brother....NICE JOB!!!!

This was cool. Building my Jeep tj doors out. You helped a lot.

Congratulations..outstanding….

Awesome job my brother...👍👍👍🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹...

They came out really good bro

Love this video

Fantastic video!!!

Dude…. I just got a Chevy express passenger I want to do up bad, and this just motivated the crap out of me.

Man this is one of the best explaining jobs I have seen u and my buddy @sprayway customs and where did u get them speaker rings from ima try and do my own set myself

Sweet man. I gotta try this.

Awesome job

You teach better than my engineering college professors 😂 amazing work my man!

Amazing job, well done dude. Just one question, can you detail how you attached the panel to the door card please? Cheers 🙌

Thanks !!!

Looks great I’m about to make a second set but on a Tacoma door that doesn’t have any flat spots so I have to cut 😂

yes great video !!

Nice job 💥 BOOM🤣

Good job👍🏻

Real smooth bossman. Also glad to see you gettin the kiddo involved💪 gotta startem young keep the minds busy.

So how did you attach the speaker pod to your door panel?

Nice work bro. Keep it up

That all I got in my truck ds18 subs 6.5 sound good

Man you're lucky with the way your doors are shaped. Although I still use the CAD method (cardboard aided design) for us oldschool guys. My Chevy is going to be a different story. Not sure if I want to buy more door panels to cut up or just go with kick panels. I'll keep you updated.

Beautiful 😍

Nice work...

So even though you didn't touch the side pockets you still can't use them?

That's why it's worth spending the extra coin on premium filler like Evercoat Rage & Upol Dolphin. Sands like butter, even past green stage. You might spend more on filler but spend less on sand paper.

Ok thank you

Perfect

How did you attach it to the door

Bruh I finally got my subs a day before my birthday October 24 and I installed them Saturday evening I'm happy with them. Imma get me 2 more and me a quad 12 box and going a bigger amp. I looking at a rf 1200.1 with all that I need to hook it for less than 400 and a taramps bass 1200 for less than 220. Both are 1 ohm stable

Hey man digging the step by step. Nervous of doing mine in the next few weeks. What was the thickness of the mdf that you used? Thank ya for taking the time out and explaining everything this video helped my understand a lot

Nice can you do it with any shape or design from any door panel I wanna fit 3 speakers plus tweeter into nissan altima 2018 front and rear what do you recommend

Props bro! Your gonna be missed! But congratulations on your next stage in life!!

Do you still have that box for those 15’s?

When you wrapped the corners how you do it did you split the wrap and folded it underneath

Came out looking very nice indeed! I'm a bit curious as to why you chose to keep the bottom part of the door panels - can you really use that space for storage anyway? Would it have been difficult from a practical standpoint to extend the pods downward?

Got question. Did you buy the rings or did you make them. If you bought them plz add link

What made you take out the crescendo audios are those speakers louder to you
