Wow...sir!
They are ultra beautiful pods.....Take pic from some distance for a better idea and look!

BTW,why you not opted for custom dashpods for these?:S

Hey guys..

Today I installed my pods, spent the whole day fixing their brackets and heres the result.. BTW its not a stealthy install, I decided to go with this position for so many reasons.. If the outcome is not as good as I am expecting then I might change the location..

View from driver's side, they aim at opposite headrests.. And I tried to keep them as low as possible, to avoid reflections from the windshield and to keep all three of them close to each other..

Heres how it looks from behind, this is all adjustable, I just painted them black and left them for drying all night long, once I am done with the wiring I would use laser pointer to finally fix their firing angles.. These are going to be 30 degree off-axis, this is how Focal sounds the best...

And more pictures are coming soon.. Next up is wiring.. Still trying to source some quality wiring, today markets were closed.. hence had to delay the setup install.. Wish me luck guys..!!

lala sry but nt impressive....put them in dash or install mid and tweeter in door

Thanks talha These are definitely sexy.. I couldn't let them go, in door install got delayed cause I couldn't find spare doors from bilal gunj Next up, stealth install... I would enjoy this install for a while then i'll decide what to do..

And more pictures are coming soon..

Humza thanks for the critic, I dropped idea of dash/door install cause I couldn't find spare doors or fiber glassing expertise in lahore.. I would go with this install for a while and then I'll decide what to do.. Btw this took me three whole days to do this, and for a beginner level diy its pretty impressive, will post pictures soon..

I would love it I would text/call you prior to my arrival..

Suggest me, whats the best install for a 3-way kit?

moonjee (moonjee) 2012-03-26 18:53:19 +0500 #94

Most recently I upgraded my speaker cable to OEHLBACH KABEL T.M. 2 x 2.5mm2 Made in Switzerland

The pod installation for front stage looks like this from behind now, sprayed the metal plate and ball joints with black.. The structure turned out to be stable, no vibrations or rattling noise.. People ask me if these are glued to the door and I get a creepy feeling..

Mid-range installation, soldered all the terminals and made sure everything is intact..

Mid-bass installation, used connectors by Pioneer (Gold platted), plastic sleeves help prevent moisture and corrosion.

This is the final look of the tweeter and mid-range.. Acting 30 degree off-axis at the moment.. Still struggling with the perfect placement though..

Hmm with the sexy grill on I had them covered so no one could tell where the sound is coming from..

Sneak peek into the mid-bass driver.. Kickin' some as s..
