    Making life difficult on myself in the name of car audio...this is video 2 of probably 3, maybe 4 because i have so much work to do. But hopefully it will be worth it. Thanks for watching if you did!
    Every single thing i have done to this Caddy from the Wheels, to the Turbo's, brakes, and now working on the system can be found in this playlist. • Twin Turbo 1000hp Cadi...

    PLEASE WATCH PREVIOUS VIDEO th-cam.com/video/h9BUMPdNy9s/w-d-xo.html to understand why i am doing this. The new mids/highs will be mounted to the door in custom pods, and this is basically a big speaker grill. I really wanted to finish the panels before making this video but i changed my mind on a few things a few too many times. I originally had acrylic but I REALLY wanted to have aluminum trim rings to offset the black/black and match the tone of the metal door handle. I wanted the suede to match the suede up on the top portion. I am trying to make it looks like it kinda belongs. Hopefully i will have the tweeter pods done and the rest of the mids/highs in. Catch daily updates here in the meantime >> instagram.com/meade916 thanks for watching if you did!

    NICE!! The trim rings give the entire thing a OEM look & feel.

    • @meade916
      @meade916  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      that was the goal. I actually have some rings i made of ABS and shot them with an aluminum color'ed paint. I didn't expect the paint to look like metal, i just expected it to look clean. It did. But it just wasn't right...i really wanted the real thing. So i scored some! (1/4" flat stock) :) thanks Rich!
