    I love that router table. The height adjustment is simple and accurate. Great work! I'd like to see you do an install of speakers which cannot use the adapter type you show and the door itself needs to be trimmed. I need to trim my speaker openings on my doors as my new Orion XTR69.3 coax speakers don't fit flush into the openings. The basket is large and contacts the edges.

    This C7 stuff is awesome! All of the drivers have cast baskets, even the tweeters. This should sound legendary! All the work you put in sound deadening and wire wise, there should be no need or problems. Can’t wait to hear it!👍🏻😊😁

    I bought four really nice Orion 6.5s mid range speakers for my equinox, I used crutch field for the size, depth, etc. I took them to 3 different shops here in Vegas & I couldn't get anyone to make new adapters since the speakers were just a little too deep. I even gave some suggestions as to how they could mount them but then it just turned into the shops guessing and quoting me some ridiculous prices. I wish I could've gotten a hold of you, you make it look so easy plus your work looks so good. Great video

    Thanks for all you do. I’ve been following for a while. Currently doing sound deadening material in my truck. There are two vents behind the rear seats. Should I put some foam over/around them to dampen the road noise and flappy noise that comes from them? I only noticed the noise when driving around without the seats.

    I don't suppose you remember what the mounting depth is on this Equinox? I have some Metra 82-3307 mounting rings but I don't know how much room there is in the door. These Metra rings are exactly 1-1/4" deep. How deep was your solution?

    So I have a conundrum. My vehicle (a 94 Nissan D21) has INCREDIBLY shallow mounts. I obviously need spacers to off set this but the speakers I picked are amazing lookin and I want the grills on the outside of the door panel. How can I add the spacers to support the speaker but also make sure its out far enough to have the grill on the exterior of the door panel.

    And why PVC and not MDF?

    • @CycloneCyd
      @CycloneCyd 5 лет назад

      @thedog556 But he's not moving it away from the door! The custom mount is shallower than the original, so therefore the speaker is moved further into the door cavity.

    I do not always fully understand Crutchfield's fitment guidelines. They said 6.5" woofers would not fit in the wonderful VW GTI (stock is 5.25"). That is true I guess, with no modification whatsoever, but with the very clean CDT FM-007 mount, that was literally all that was required. I do not really consider that to be in the "will not fit" category. I do consider Crutchfield awesome, and they have some experts who give tremendous guidance, it just seems to me they must have a reason they give verrrry cautious fitment advice.

    I have a 2020 Corolla with JBL Sound Option.
    Sadly it does not has a Subwoofer and I want to add some Punch.
    The JBL system takes alot of base out at higher volumes. Where and how can I get a clean signal for a 25" sub? to get some base at higher volumes? It feels kinda Janky just to splice it into the front speakers.

      @CarAudioFabrication thanks for the reply, oh right I have a 1996 mitsubishi lancer evolution 4 so may have to do something custom, I have the focal 3 way components, is it possible to have a good system without a subwoofer in the boot? My front and rear speakers will be run off and amplifier. I can't find an answer to this because everyone that has a subwoofer is always going to say no I think. Wondering if 6x9 woofers in the parcel shelf made into 3 way components with a separate tweeter and mid speaker with crossovers?
