I got a pair a while back for 3 inch midranges for my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Fit was excellent and when spray painted with matching matte black for my JGC, it blended quite nicely. Overall, i was super impressed and saved a ton of money and didn't have to try and cobble together something myself that would have probably looked terrible.

the time stamp on the botanist comment.

NICE!

😁👍

Pretty neat, like to do that but also blend them in and dye or warp the whole panel

[Toid]

These things are pretty awesome! And I enjoy my arms and legs

Great video. I think a lot of DIYers will appreciate this short cut, I only learned about this website recently but sadly they did not offer a product for my vehicle. Fabricating pillars takes a lot of time but of course there are benefits to building them from scratch. You can recess the speakers a little more, you can finish them how you like for an OEM appearance, and you can ensure the angle is spot on. It would be nice if you followed up this installation video with a listening review, maybe show the angle they chose by mounting a laser or wooden dowel to the speaker mounting surface, and in the future build your own panels to compare and contrast.

I also don't think your installation is complete. I think there is benefit to opening up the section of the OEM panel behind these pods to give the midrange more air space. I think the whole panel and pod needs sound deadener treatment and maybe stuffing with polyfill. Lastly, even if angles or the protrusion is undesirable, this gets your speakers installed and working. You can always cut them up and make use of the general shape while creating something custom.

Love all your videos Justin. I’m getting ready to do a complete install on my cherry 2002 Suburban so I’ll being using your 10% off code. I’m installing some CT Sounds Meso 2 way 6.5” components for my front stage. Wish I would have purchased their 3 ways but was thinking about putting the 6.5” CT’s in the door and then also next to it install a 5-1/2” I have that are NOS Poweramper components to get extra mid bass punch. But maybe should just use some 3.5” and tweeters like you install on the pillars. I’m all about the best sound quality. Have several NOS sound quality made in USA Poweramper amps. Also have one of their tube amps to that is NOS. Have a pair of NOS older 12” JL Audio subs I bought back in 1995. I can’t think of which models but think they are 12W0-4 . I need to figure out what new dual din head unit would be best for sound quality and front and rear cameras. Any suggestions from anyone would be great. I’m hearing some good stuff about the newer Kenwood Excelon head units. But like Alpine but think the new ones I’ve heard are not so great and for what they want for them.

Nice comment of the leaf, Stating you know what it was without saying you knew what it was. Nice!

[bassahaulic]

The double sided tape trick literally blew my mind.... wow. How have I never thought of that!?

[bkrgls]

Kinda cool. They remind of pods that you can order from Summit racing to mount varies gauges on your pillars.

[robertoortiz]

You can paint match them with SEM interior paint

[Narcolepsykid]

These are cool. Ive got a 24 trax. They dont make them that fit yet so im about to make my own.😊

[julesbruchez-theartofgrapp]

You can also sand them down and then wrap the entire Pilar in Dani to match.

[SQ_Silverado]

just ordered my set, hoping I can fit the Mille legend tweeters 1.38mm 🔊

[OscarHernandez-ymhx]

Of the last two midrange drivers. Which one sounds better

[wutupclegg]

As you found out, when cutting ABS with a hole saw, reversing the drill is the best way. Well, that's if your hole saw is sharp.

[csj]

When using a hole saw, go slow and easy because when the pilot drill cuts through, the teeth of the hole saw will slam into the workpiece and dig in, usually sending it skittering off or tweaking the wrist of the operator. Slow and easy
