New Pod for the FD - LOOK

Give me some feedback.

The pods swivel 360 degrees and lets you keep the center channel speaker.
Pricing would be $115 for 52mm and $125 for 60mm

i think it sucks. might as well get 2 of the old school gauge pods and attach them to your speaker grill. looks like 2 antennas on one of those headbands kids wear at halloween. maybe if they were closer together or something...

just my opinion...

They would be easier on the eyes if they were smoother flowing like these.
Just my opinion though. I still like them better than a-pillar

I think it's ugly. Even though it was made to fit there it looks like some sort of cheap universal mount. Not near as nice as the Tripower or FlyRX7 pods.

It doesnt' compare to the other solutions that are out there. This one really doesn't match the FD interior.

It looks like the cheap autometer pods that you could get thru Summit Racing or even the VDO pods.

I like the molded ABS dual pods alot (in fact, I bought one from you).


THis molded ABS pod looked like it came with the car.

Its a good idea for keeping the center channel speaker, but the price doesn't match up to be a competitive option for people who don't care enough aobut the center channel speaker. Triple pods can be had with better aesthetics and the same price.

I think if you want to make a hit new product, it would be to make a mirror molded pod of the one that's on the R-Spec FD...or something like it. Perhaps it would be possible to make a pod that sits forward of the channel speaker, but the back of the pod comes down, flattens out, and clips in over the speaker so that the speaker grill and the pod are one piece.

If the company is looking for something to make, get them to make a pod in the center that is just regular and sells for $50! I bet they would have tons of people on that one, I would get one.
