Next step was sorting the outer door panels out with some sound deadening, for this I used the Skinz system, same stable as Hertz and Audison.
This was all the sound deadening from the factory:
So I did this:
I know some people really go overboard with sound deadening, but the stuff weighs a ton, so thought I would just try the outer doors and see how it goes.
At this point I went onto the door card, preparing them for reinstallation. I mounted the crossovers in the foam on the rears and made some clearance in the foam for the front crossovers as those were fitted on the doors themselves.
Replaced the stock tweeters with the Hertz ones:
Rear Door card complete:
I used Traxxas High Current connectors for the joins from door to door card.
The front door card, I needed to make some mdf spacers for the mids as the standard factory speakers were much larger than the 2.8" mids from Hertz.
These were then painted black and installed.
Moving onto the doors themselves. The fronts were straight forward, but the rears were a bit of a pain as there is a tube which is plastic welded onto the door card and interferes with the speaker. Not wanting to remove those, I bought some Autoleads adapters which I cut down to suit.
The Autoleads spacers prior to cutting down:
and the offending tube they hit up against:
The front door complete:
Apologies again, but I thought I had taken loads more pictures than this.
Moving onto the front tweeters, the stock ones were removed and the new Hertz ones glued in place:
That was the doors done. Took a lot longer than I would have liked.
