Building the mounting rings:

Hallman's 1999 Honda CR-V Colorado Springs, CO Customized with Michelin Tires, SYLVANIA Lighting, Custom Sub Enclosure, Orion Speakers, Orion Tweeters, Alpine Subwoofers, Directed Security, Kenwood Amplifier, Kenwood Head Unit - 15 Seeing as I live in a condo and not a home, most of this stuff would have been rather difficult without the aid of my Grandpa's work table. I'm so fortunate that I have such wonderful family close by!

I used a 1/4in MDF board(purchased at your local HD a small sheet is about $4) for the rings. I used the grills from the front doors as a template. For the back rings I just used a speaker template that came with the package. Then I used spray-on adhesive (3M General Purpose) and speaker box carpet to cover the ring. I figured the combination of wood and carpet would improve the sound quality.

I made a custom home for my tweets in the back. I decided early on I wasn't going high with my Soundstage, so the tops of the D pillers were out of the question. I also didn't want it to low, because if I'm transporting somthing it could muffle the sound. So the only location that would fit my needs was the inside of the rear window frame. Which required a small amount of build-up. I needed something to bring the tweets far enough off the pillers so I could image them off the rear glass. I accomplished this with the wood you see above. I belt sanded it to take the shape of my plastic on the frame -of course I tapered the wooden blocks to have a fat front side to get a better angle on the imaging. After all the sanding was done I used my brother Thomas' assistance to carpet the mounts (He also carpeted the mids' rings -he's way better at that kind of stuff than I ever will be.)
