[toE]

Im not a pro dude. Besides, it's not all that difficult. I dunno how long it'll take me...i guess it depends how many beers i have in da fridge ... hehe..

Nah, seriously tho, i reckon prolly 1-2 hrs maybe...i dunno.

We can both work on it togeder, so you can learn too. Get some satisfaction of doing something to your car ya know??

If I was in VIC I'd come out an lend a hand just for something to do.

I'm quite happy to help you out BlakTegra, just let me know when you are ready, i know every bolt in the Integra so it's no sweat.

No money required. Just a couple of beers.

I just finished doing a baffle for my focal polykevlar mids, I will try and get a photo for you, I dont have a digi cam Anyways it was just mdf, placed the original speaker basket on top, screwed the holes for mounting to the door, then traced the outline of the basket. Then determine centre-ish (:P) draw your circle cut it out with a jigsaw and viola! I was lucky in the sense that my speakers JUST fit without covering the holes to mount the baffle to the door, if they had covered them some imagination would have to be used. So the moral of this story is, depending how big polykevlar mids are compared to others (they seem pretty damn big to me) you should have little worries making a bafle. Now my next challenge is to figure out whether the magnet will hit the door, or the speaker will hit the door grille :P Sorry for the long rambling post, hope it helps tho!

toeE and vti-R, u guys are unbelievable! I'm gonna have to be cautious in letting you guys anywhere near my car after you guys skull down half a slab each!!!!
LOL

But if you guys can come down to give me a hand it'll certainly be awesome. I just luv doin stuff to my car..ehhehehe
Btw, I'm not a drinker.....I go bright red like a riped tomato ops:

When are u guys able to help me out? Surely with 3 ppl, it should only take 1 hr max I'm planning to do it really soon...

[BlakTegra]

Fhrx, come down anyway!!! There's pretty of beer to go around!!!! You can have my share..ahhahhaa

Javed: hope you can get pics up soon, makes it easier to understand what you're saying cuz I'm lost just where the second sentence starts....

[Javed]

Hahaha, dont blame you for not getting me, nobody does! :P Anyways I got the pics! Here they are:


That's the baffle. Notice its shape, takes the overall shape basically of the Honda speaker basket.

With my focal sitting inside.

Hope these help mate,

Good luck.

PS. I am a very novice woodworker, as you can tell by my baffle, so anybody can do this.

[BlakTegra]

No worries then, though I do prefer both u guys working on the car together :P We'll do it after the meet then

Bah! I have seemed to hit a snag (sorry for the hijack blaktegra) My baffles fit nicely with the magnet clearing the window but it seems that the clips of the door panels grille is JUST touching or 1 mm away from my focals rubber surround It is not even the grille its the stupid 2 bottom clips that snap in! Now even if it is just off from the speaker wont it hit it when the speaker moves out? How much do mids move does any1 know? This is really upsetting me now, I am thinking maybe I could use 16 mm MDF instead of the 18 I used but even that wont be enough clearance will it? I will try and get pics to show you what I mean. Cheers guys all help is much appreciated.

Javed

Edit: Is it possible that I could run my speakers with opposite polarities to the speakers move inwards? Or is that a stupid idea?
