Just remember, you can lay out carbon fiber the same way you do fiber glass. The only reason you need to vacuum carbon is if you are making a structural part for impact strength of for a wing so it will flex and be strong. Rolling carbon is still strong but really light and it's better at sound dampening. Heck I've used old fleece blankets and that really cuts down on the itch. With fiberglass just remember, the colder the shower the better it removes the itch... Used to work for LUND industry and really cold water takes the slivers out.
Nice video! I did a similar thing with 8 8’s in the 2 front doors of my f150, once difference is that I made a trim panel that a removable baffle mounted to. Then made a quick disconnect wiring harness that plugged into a distribution block on the back of the baffle. Can strip the door in less than a minute. I also ended up doing a little body filler over top the foam that I used to smooth out and spray with a gloss black to match the rest of the interior 👍🏼
Have a 92 ranger I want to do this EXACT method with. PLEASE email me any info you can on how exactly you wired this harness and distribute block please…
You can put all the speakers you want in your door but nothing compares to a set of Q-Form kick panels with some speakers like Boston Acoustic Pro 60's pushed with a JL Audio 300/2 supplemented with some more high-quality components like JL Audio C-2 or C-3 followed up with some coaxials for the rear doors pushed with a JL Audio 300/4 then build a center console ported box with the port and speaker facing the rear either a 10W6V2 or v3 or a 10W7Ae3 pushed with a 500/1 or 600/1 JL class D amp. With a center console box in a full-sized truck you can leave in the factory mounting system that connects to the truck frame and get no rattling and distortion with of course the proper sound deadening of your vehicle pre install. Looks great buddy! Oh and do not forget to install two matching AGM batteries that match and wire them properly and you will not need capacitors. Full size trucks come with an extra spot for the second battery for the diesel options in their truck lines.
Holy cow, thanks for this. I’m definitely going to chop up my 96 accord now. I’ve been missing mid bass for years. Thanks for the non fiberglass solution. And cheers to a fellow dub dnb fan. Just got back from secret dreams
Great setup! I like the design but I would've spent a little more time on the upholstery. You could've covered the whole bottom with the pleather as the door panel separates into two pieces. Even if you didn't use fiberglass a nice layer of bondoglass would've been a stronger bond.
Thanks for making this video parker.. I need to build custom door pods for my new system.. was trying to find ways to do it without fiberglass.. awesome video.. keep up great work
next time you could maybe try using a heat gun to warm up the vinyl so it can get a good stretch and if the edges are still a little rough.. glue some vinyl trim. I hope my advice works on my pleather im about to stretch it over my panels lol. I am using a very similar method to yours. I taped off the door panel before foaming gapped edges.. I hope the foam is strong enough to hold my wrap when i tuck it.
Definitely should have just added to the Deaf Bonce speakers, but I completely get wanting to try new things. Hopefully you enjoy the DS18 just as much if not more! Looking good Parker!
I think if you get a nice grayish carpet to match the doors that would be a better option than that black pleather. It would look more stock and the black woofers would stand out better. Maybe you have some leftover after pulling it out of the back?
Get loud 🔊Love the vids man I'll be doing something like this in your video here soon just Had the twin's on Friday so plans on my car audio when we get home 🤙🏼
Sweet now that my cars paid I’m going to the same thing , have a few of those same ds18’s waiting for me . I always said I would only do fiberglass because the wood never looks original or clean but yours came out alright it actually looks nice with that many speakers on there. That foam though haha I was wondering how you where going to fill in the gaps
@@ParkerTheBasshead I’d really like to know the spray foam you used and the leather. Where you got them and brand names if you don’t mind. Thanks again, love your content. Keep up that smile!
After using this budget series you should try the exl series bro. Been viewing this channel since the first sub review in the Subaru, glad to see you doing bigger things keep up the good work
Great video....I am currently in process of figuring out what I want to do for my 09 Tahoe. I'm a total noob to car audio, but I'm learning as I go. I want loud music in my truck so I'm researching my way to next level haha.
Great video Parker! Nice job on the doors. They came out awesome. Can't wait to see how the build comes out for this year. I just saw the Blackbrick Brickhouse subs. I'd love to see you run 6 of those Brickhouse in the back of the Sequoia. Its gonna take a bigger amp though! Personally, I would love to see you rock 2 of the white Wolfram 9k amps strapped together at like 1.66 ohms or whatever it comes out to be with 6 subs.
Just bought the exact same door speaker set🤪, i have the same car to lol just no sunroof. Ive been watching parkers videos for months now and he’s convinced me to build a 16000 watt system.. without this guy i wouldnt have this goal. The only trouble im having is how im going to connect another 4 channel amp for my tweeters. For now they will be powered off the headunit… to connect 2 4 channel amps i was thinking 4 y splitters, 2 for the left and 2 for the right to equal 8 outputs. Any recommendationss?
New fasteners for the door panels can be obtained at any auto parts store in packs of 10-12 pieces. Those fasteners are something I never liked about GM vehicles.
If that is the highest of your ability, thats all you can do. If i was going to go through the trouble of cutting up my door panel , i would spend the extra time and money to go fiberglass. Its not that hard and even if you arent good at sanding , you can put carpet or rhino line it and hide alot. Still yet a good tutorial for people with minimal patience and skill level.
How is having speakers facing the seat only 1 inch away going to result in much sound, or even sound good? Are you not simply muffling your speakers defeating the purpose? It looks like 2 speakers, and 2 tweeters would fit the door, and allow the sound to project outward at the front of the door towards the front of the car. The 2 other speakers and tweeters would probably be better served in the rear doors. Sound waves need to be able to project outward.
I would love to do some doors like this but the supply of pioneer pro drivers is dwindling ( this is a very bad thing ) ....you want to talk about LOUD !!!!! with less power, those are awesome. I'm not sure how I feel about the ds18 line. I am proud of you parker, I remember when you would just pop subs and now look at you....building and running your channel. You inspire me to do more. Peace young blood, we are all very proud of our young man!!!!!✌️🤗🤜🤛
The only ds18 product I’ve ever heard were a set of super tweeters, got them because of the price for a family members vehicle and was pretty impressed lol they over powered the door midrange/sub set up that was in the car by quite a bit while sounding pretty clear from what I remember. Idk about their other speakers, but their big tweets are definitely not a bad buy if anyone’s wondering.
Most people use shallow mount subwoofers for projects in small tight spaces.However, I have an idea that's going to use 4 sealed shallow mount and 4 vented shallow mount. With regular size subs I have TONS of options. In the shallow mount world it seems that SKAR is the best. What is the beafyist shallow mount 12??
I know you said you did this the way you do because of time all I’m gonna do fiberglass on top of all the other steps this is way better then the speaker rings snd hot glue and sticks that I see everyone else do
I've had a pair of ds18 6 inch mids in my doors for about 4 years and i recently took them out to upgrade to 8 inch. They just got a little dis coloured but still sounded and felt great
My man Parker does it again the door panels are off the hook but that music you were playing when you put down the pleather was even better where did that come from how do I get a copy
Excellent job. Now let’s say you have 4 sets of component speakers to use on the doors with 8 cross overs. Now since your doing the series & parallel there’s one 4 ohm lead for the mid & one 4 ohm lead for the tweeters so when I hook this up to the cross over is the power rating now still the same? 100-200RMS? How does the series & parallel change how much power I can now use? Does it require mores power because four speakers share the load of one per cross over point?
That looks like a lot of weight on the door. Since this video have you had any issues with the panel, if so did you add anything to secure the panel and make it sturdy?
Hay bro I has a question. I have the taramps 2000x4 the 2 ohms model an I have 2 DS18 8s 8 ohms an 2 DS18 10s 8 ohms as well mid-range..I want to bridge them what is the final impedance output all speaker wired separately from the box going to the amplifier. Can get some advice on that please and thank you sir an congratulations an the win
Great job Parker and DS18 done well on those door speakers, I hate that people here in Ohio stop talking down on them and they never heard them in person and i noticed that some shops here sell the cheat version and they will tear after a few days. For those idiots out there godfathers are not the best you can get, dont get me wrong they are good but not the best.
Come talk to me bro I won’t install anyone’s American Bass speakers. It’s all Ground Zero or Diamond. Crescendos are nice too. DS18 sold out long ago and they never been the same.
You should install Some sort of trim around the whole thing. It will look much better with that rough edge cleaned up. Don’t do all that. Work not to do the last 5%, which will really make it look much much better. Cheers
I'd be more likely to track down some image dynamics horns and hide them somewhere and an 8 on each side with enough power is wayyy more than enough Heck my ppi 6.5 components with 95x2 is painful in my Jeep
I was wondering how I was going to do my doors thanks bro thanks so much! I've watched so many videos but none as detailed as your content. Keep pushing that fire bro!
Theres a guy the goes by Spraywaycustoms on youtube. He mixes up what he calls rondo. Its a mix of fiberglass resin and body filler that can be brushed on smooth. Looks easier than sanding a bunch of filler
I been dreading to do my door because of the fiberglass but after seeing you go this route, I'm gonna give this here a try
Yeah I was in the same boat man
Just remember, you can lay out carbon fiber the same way you do fiber glass. The only reason you need to vacuum carbon is if you are making a structural part for impact strength of for a wing so it will flex and be strong.

Same man let git some doors made lol
I was drinking my coffee yesterday watching this video, now I want to add 2 more tweeters to each door, thanks.
Great tip on tightening the door clips up at the end…thanks! 👍
This is my second or third time watching this video and I love it
I’m slowly gaining the confidence to do my own
Thanks for the content
Does look nice bro. In case anyone doing this wants or needs extra room you can easily integrate the wood to the inside of the panel!
Nice video! I did a similar thing with 8 8’s in the 2 front doors of my f150, once difference is that I made a trim panel that a removable baffle mounted to. Then made a quick disconnect wiring harness that plugged into a distribution block on the back of the baffle. Can strip the door in less than a minute.

I excited too Parker. Nice job on those door cards brother.
crazy I literally was just talking about doing my doors in a similar way because I didn't want to fool with glassing them and now you made a video
Dude…that looks badass. Your doors are going to scream.
Pleather looks a little rough but fuck it. Looks decent and I'm sure it sounds amazing.
Yeah I’m not 100% happy with the pleather but it gets the job done for now
How do you get the material from pealing off on hot days?
Love the budget builds!!
You can put all the speakers you want in your door but nothing compares to a set of Q-Form kick panels with some speakers like Boston Acoustic Pro 60's pushed with a JL Audio 300/2 supplemented with some more high-quality components like JL Audio C-2 or C-3 followed up with some coaxials for the rear doors pushed with a JL Audio 300/4 then build a center console ported box with the port and speaker facing the rear either a 10W6V2 or v3 or a 10W7Ae3 pushed with a 500/1 or 600/1 JL class D amp.

Jls are over rated i switched a long time ago... Alpine & Pioneer. Z series
I ran jls the foam surrounds on my w3v2s back in the day dry rotted just junk speakers..... Jl 6x9s couldn't handle the bass lol
That is clean! Probobly gonna do this to my Xj once I get around to starting that build
Holy cow, thanks for this. I’m definitely going to chop up my 96 accord now. I’ve been missing mid bass for years. Thanks for the non fiberglass solution.
And cheers to a fellow dub dnb fan.

Wow I’m glad to see how much your channel has grown I love all your videos man keep up the good work
I appreciate you!!
Thanks for making this video parker.. I need to build custom door pods for my new system.. was trying to find ways to do it without fiberglass.. awesome video.. keep up great work
Nice work, bro. Definitely gives me confidence to do the same. Thanks for the vid👊🏾👊🏾👍🏾
Heat gun would have made the pleather go around the edges without cutting still great job Parker the v2 is turning out awesome
next time you could maybe try using a heat gun to warm up the vinyl so it can get a good stretch and if the edges are still a little rough.. glue some vinyl trim. I hope my advice works on my pleather im about to stretch it over my panels lol. I am using a very similar method to yours. I taped off the door panel before foaming gapped edges.. I hope the foam is strong enough to hold my wrap when i tuck it.
im still fighting these damn manual cranks I messed up and overheated one and broke the crank so now got to remove the whole window and all to fix it
Another banger video yet again he didn't let us down
Good to hear!!
Definitely should have just added to the Deaf Bonce speakers, but I completely get wanting to try new things. Hopefully you enjoy the DS18 just as much if not more! Looking good Parker!
Ds18 also makes some speaker enclosure type things that go over the original panels if that something you can do
I think if you get a nice grayish carpet to match the doors that would be a better option than that black pleather. It would look more stock and the black woofers would stand out better. Maybe you have some leftover after pulling it out of the back?
every time you upload its a great day
Really good to hear!!
Great Video Parker, those panels look great with those DS18's that Sequoia going to be a banger!
Thanks man I can’t wait to get everything done
Get loud 🔊Love the vids man I'll be doing something like this in your video here soon just Had the twin's on Friday so plans on my car audio when we get home 🤙🏼
I've been waiting for something like this! :)
Nice I have some of those I'm ordering
Like how you did it yourself.
Gave me an ideal on how I'll do mines. Thanks for the video
This is a great setup fam, I will be following this step by step process to upgrade the mids & highs on my 98 marquis 👍👍
Love sky high audio stuff. Their wire is sick!!
Sweet now that my cars paid I’m going to the same thing , have a few of those same ds18’s waiting for me .

Amazing door panels bro 👌 I am inspired 🙂 2 do mine thinking bout doing 4-8" sundown mids & 4- tweets in my 2010 Tahoe
Nice work, Parker. You did a good job.
Great video Bro, Now I'm thinking about replacing all my factory speakers in my 2014 Audi Q7, What do you recommend I love JL Audio Speakers
This is awesome! Will you please update the video information with a list of the products you used. Please, thank you in advance if you see this!
What products would you like me to list?
@@ParkerTheBasshead I’d really like to know the spray foam you used and the leather. Where you got them and brand names if you don’t mind. Thanks again, love your content. Keep up that smile!

Sweet job BROTHER!!!
Great work bro thats all the motivation I needed
Congrats, excellent video bro!
Kind of like what I did with mine. Except I just chopped the bottom half of the factory door panel
Looks clean bro! Great video as always 👍👊
looks dope i did something similar but i just sprayed the wood with bedliner
Just bought the exact same door speaker set🤪, i have the same car to lol just no sunroof.

Great job.
Thanks for showing us how to.
Im going to try this on my yukon.
I'm excited 👊
looks good I have a Chevy Tahoe I wonder can you do the same thing with the two front door panels
If that is the highest of your ability, thats all you can do. If i was going to go through the trouble of cutting up my door panel , i would spend the extra time and money to go fiberglass. Its not that hard and even if you arent good at sanding , you can put carpet or rhino line it and hide alot. Still yet a good tutorial for people with minimal patience and skill level.

You got me thinking now this looks so easy to do man lol
Great outcome man!!! But now I’m interested in that Subaru too lol
You taught me something and you inspired me
i would have gone with a gray pleather it would have matched the interior better
The only ds18 product I’ve ever heard were a set of super tweeters, got them because of the price for a family members vehicle and was pretty impressed lol they over powered the door midrange/sub set up that was in the car by quite a bit while sounding pretty clear from what I remember.

They came out pretty clean brotha nice job 4” coil huh that’s gunna be fun
Great video now I’m ready to mine needed some motivation thanks man
Good to hear!!
I know you said you did this the way you do because of time all I’m gonna do fiberglass on top of all the other steps this is way better then the speaker rings snd hot glue and sticks that I see everyone else do
I'm almost tempted to take some of these very inexpensive drivers and send them to G & R research and see if Danny can do any magic with them
Awesome video. Nice work 👍🏼
You make it look so simple !
It's definitely a budget option, interested to see how long they last you.
I've had a pair of ds18 6 inch mids in my doors for about 4 years and i recently took them out to upgrade to 8 inch. They just got a little dis coloured but still sounded and felt great
Me too man!! We will see
It's not a show car...its a daily driver that has good sound...some people just want to enjoy their music..looks good to me and practical
My man Parker does it again the door panels are off the hook but that music you were playing when you put down the pleather was even better where did that come from how do I get a copy
Beautiful job my friend
I still really want to help you with something!
The thickness of the wood ? I plan on making custom door pods for my vehicle

dude awesome video everything is looking awesome
Thanks really means a lot!!
That looks like a lot of weight on the door. Since this video have you had any issues with the panel, if so did you add anything to secure the panel and make it sturdy?
Yeah I’d you close the door too fast it will pop out some of the clips. Had to add a few bolts
@@ParkerTheBasshead if you do this probably go with shawllow mount neos so they arent has heavy
Nice job parker
Hay bro I has a question. I have the taramps 2000x4 the 2 ohms model an I have 2 DS18 8s 8 ohms an 2 DS18 10s 8 ohms as well mid-range..I want to bridge them what is the final impedance output all speaker wired separately from the box going to the amplifier. Can get some advice on that please and thank you sir an congratulations an the win
That looks great. Nice job
Nice video Parker gonna do the same thing to my truck
Hey y'all great video. Wondering if you're going to put new speaker wire to doors and amp and if you'd show how you wired up?
Where can I find this guy so he can do my doors like that with the pleather. Thats is so awesome
Great job Parker and DS18 done well on those door speakers, I hate that people here in Ohio stop talking down on them and they never heard them in person and i noticed that some shops here sell the cheat version and they will tear after a few days. For those idiots out there godfathers are not the best you can get, dont get me wrong they are good but not the best.
Come talk to me bro I won’t install anyone’s American Bass speakers. It’s all Ground Zero or Diamond. Crescendos are nice too. DS18 sold out long ago and they never been the same.
I think fiberglass is the way to go so its more contour shape for the door
You should install
Some sort of trim around the whole thing. It will look much better with that rough edge cleaned up. Don’t do all that. Work not to do the last 5%, which will really make it look much much better. Cheers
im really hoping i can get a comment back but im looking to build a door panel as well but is there any certain wood to use?
Bro that looks dope af but really don’t know how you wired them speakers later on can u do a tutorial on how to wire speakers like that
Damn this what I want to do to my blazer...Nice work
When running these setups with mids and highs. Do you guys run a crossover like component sets have are just let them run..
You like the sound of super tweeter vs silk dome tweeeters for car audio
Did you run the tweeters in series or parallel?
Each pair in series and then the rest in parallel
@Parker The Basshead Thanks man...I am super green but eager to learn!!
Nice set up brother 👍 How do you got the tweeters running?
I'd be more likely to track down some image dynamics horns and hide them somewhere and an 8 on each side with enough power is wayyy more than enough
Heck my ppi 6.5 components with 95x2 is painful in my Jeep
My fist video and I just subscribed good shit brother! 💯
Thank you means a lot!!
I was wondering how I was going to do my doors thanks bro thanks so much! I've watched so many videos but none as detailed as your content. Keep pushing that fire bro!
Theres a guy the goes by Spraywaycustoms on youtube.
He mixes up what he calls rondo. Its a mix of fiberglass resin and body filler that can be brushed on smooth. Looks easier than sanding a bunch of filler
How do you like your 6.5” ? I have 8 of those in each of my front panels…
Parker, can you build me a custom dash board for a 20in monitor in the middle?
Loving da content bro 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Wish my sequoia had nice black paint like yours.
What kind of would did you use and how many sheets did you stack about 2?
Bro where is part 2 what amp fid uou use and everything for ur driver door??
How big is your door i must do the speakers inside the pannel because i doont have room in the other ways
Can i get a explanation of how to wire up the 4 speakers and 4 tweeters im putting them in a box not building a deck
