Door pods on original TS doors, some new holes had to be drilled. They are currently housing 3 way Pioneer 6 inch's.

I have also had a louder muffler put on the car, sounds a bit to beefy at the moment, might need to get another resonator installed.

Enjoy.
very nice bud - pity the carpet is a bit ratty...but what are you gonna do with 13 year old cars? Maybe reupholster it with some fluff lol
Recover them with Louis Vitton material, that'd be pretty swank.

Yeah the **** is about to fall off, I wasn't sure about fluff, because it will just get dirty, I will need something strong and long lasting.
why not just get some vinyl? I've seen a few people with chianti red vinyl, looks tops. Do the top bit of fabric on the doors too.

Howdy all;
If your gonna re-do the pods do the door trims as well. it look a whole lot better and its easy as to do it yourself. Ive done all of my doors in a blue marine vinyl and they came up a treat.

RE: the carpet, just get some scissors, hold them flat against the carpet, and move along whilst snipping; this'll trim off all the raggedy bits and bring it back almost as good as new. The sharper the scissors the better.

No such thing as Chianti red vynal, but was suited to my car.
As far as ease of material goes i found the fluff by far much easier to apply and adhere then the vynal, so if u were gonna do it, and cbf'd waiting and piss farting around, cover it in fluff.
Also so far with the fluff it hasnt got dirty. so i recommend it

Your fluff probably also hasn't been in a car thats carpet that gets coated with dirt and mud daily.

Eh, good point, Vynal would be the best for you then. Just takes ages to dry as its so thick the material just wants to unfold.
Took me a whole week night and day to clamp the material down to each piece. So if you are going to do it, buy more then the 3 clamps i did for the job lol

What were you using to glue it with tuffy??! Dude, get some contact adhesive. Coat both bits. Let dry for 15mins, until dry but still tacky. Press together. Not going anywhere.
