New door pods (pics)
I picked up a new set of Elemental Design 6000 series components. All I have to say is awesome!! From the packaging to the product itself, it's all to notch.
I went from Alpine 5 1/4's in my door pods to these and all I can say is wow.
The mounting depth is the only draw back I would say on these at 3". I had to make new door pods to fit these, but hey would'nt want a new fiberglass project!
Heres a pic of the final product:
The pods are kind of large, but my doors cannot accomodate any speakers, so cutting into it was not an option. Listening to them was at first strange especially coming from coaxle's to components. My staging is up high and tight. There was some scratching type noise for the first 5 minutes of playing, but that soon went away. I was ablt to lower the x-over point on the amp because these things can take a little more space then those tiny Alpine. I have to say I'm an Elemental Design fan now!!!

Oh, if I had manual windows I would have cut into the door and flushed these bad boys. These things are beast's and sit 3" deep, so the pods are kind of big, but my god they sound awesome.

Thanks guys. Well after a little ride ysterday, I'm going to redesign the pods. The do stick out a little to much and it makes it unfomfortable to drive. They are set on an angle, which takes space, I'm also going to cut into the door cover. With these improvments I should be able to get them 1 1/2" farther back.

a while ago ED was selling components that they partnered with CDT to make. I don't know what they outcome was or how well they sounded, but i imagine their components are now better than what CDT made for them. AND cheaper.
