How to Make Simple Door Pods (Part 1)

Building Door Pods and other custom items in a vehicle can be done easily when you can copy a particular shape using a router bit. You can then use this initial shape to create insert templates to then complete the custom item. In this video I show you how using the Sonus Fit Kit and UPC bit along with the Mobile Solutions Bit Tray Kit you can create some awesome custom door panels for your car audio speakers

CarAudioFabrication - The Secrets of Car Audio Revealed

[@tankjr85]

You truly are an audio installation artist. I wish I knew someone like you to hand over my car to make a nice audio setup here in Italy. Cya!

[@CarAudioFabrication]

tankjr85 I am sure there are some great shops in Italy, just need to find them! Best of luck, thanks for watching!

[@ColAngus]

I have been in the car audio industry for over 20 years and here I am learning some more great tips from your videos.Great job they are perfect,respects.

[@wefkisaleh8002]

SIMPLE MY ASS !!!!!! This guy is the 007 of the system world lol !!

[@user-po7iv4ni3o]

Dude, you're a badass. All of your vids are top notch and very inspirational to watch. Too many ideas now!!

[@maya_coqsalonga]

Why are guys bitching about tools? He used a router. If you don't own a router you're probably not handy enough to make these. I got a router with a table on sale at Sears for $80.

[@1280spoon]

Mark is a scientist when it comes to car audio fabrication

[@bret9741]

You know….. anytime someone does something well in particular manufacturing something from scratch … it’s just fun to watch.

[@thelizardking8525]

Awesome video! When I die I’m coming back as you! Keep on making these videos!

[@BigLate]

Very nice! Was glad to see the Fit Kit demo also. I understood how it worked but it's nice to see it. Thanks man.

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Lathan Hites No problem! It saves the use of foam tape like I have shown in the past and is much more precise.

[@armystrongmom]

Thanks for the tips. Made my custom install way easier.

[@datcats]

Every video keeps getting better. Thanks for contributing to the knowledge of the car audio community.

[@LooseCannon48]

Hey I've actually done something similar like this for the front actually without all the fancy stuff. Used Bondi to fill in that gap. Came out great. Love your channel

[@CarAudioFabrication]

LooseCannon48 Thank you for watching

[@chrissport1630]

Looks so simple yet he explained it so complicated

[@Malomex13]

Awesome video... Thanks for all the hard work on making these videos, really helps everyone out a lot. Keep up the great work and I'm looking forward to making mine soon...

[@whowhatisthat88]

Thanks for the videos they are giving me great ideas for the future of my car.

[@CarAudioFabrication]

AWESOME! Keep me posted on what you decide to do! Thank you!

[@Puppetnation71]

[@jesseguerrero6270]

OK love the videos !!! But how about an 2000 Ford Excursion for door pods ?

[@Ph4tT0ny]

"simple" door pods. (>$400 in tools you probably dont have - needed)

[@duncanstamps]

simple not cheap

[@jonellwanger7258]

I started off with a jigsaw. Couldn’t do anything fancy like this, but it’s a start!! Simple and cheap at first, complaining won’t solve anything.

[@javiergarcia8277]

Awesome video and great detail

[@brettware1940]

Makes me want to rip my truck apart and start all over! Great video

[@TheMazdamn]

I want a pair of these!!!

[@brandonhensel1301]

its crazy because i was thinking about doing this before i even saw the video

[@psementalist]

Welcome back Mark I missed you and btw great video

[@CarAudioFabrication]

PSE Mentalist Missed you too! Thanks for posting like always!

[@OverTheHillGamer]

This is awesome, but in which multiverse is this simple? I would like to visit it.

[@johnmelpignano5625]

Mark, love your channel. Really appreciate all the hard work that you put into these videos. Quick question for you....I am just getting into car audio, and I am overwhelmed by how many companies, speakers, amps, processors, and other equipment is now available. If you had $1000 for just audio equipment, what would you get? (For a real simple sound quality system...nothing for SPL.) thanks! Take care.

[@j1luv4a80]

damn that is a nice POD, yes you make it look simple. I will buy a pair for front and back for 6.5 Focal no tweets, with a Focal plexiglass custom piece on above the 6.5 speaker.

[@ApolloniumUranius]

Thank you very much! This is brilliant job!

[@CarAudioFabrication]

***** Thank you! Glad you like it, thanks for always posting!

[@KRich408]

This gave me ideas how to get my Polk 6x9s into the front doors of my 01 Yukon now I just have to find someone than can do the woodwork? I don’t have all the tools to do it myself.

[@jcsanti222]

That's looking good man you do some nice work

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Juan Santi Thank you, hope I helped you learn something new, thanks for watching

[@jcsanti222]

I need to get me one of dose router kits

[@patro46]

I've been digging your video series, and have implemented several of your ideas into my 74 LSA supercharged Corvette. Have you ever had any luck vinyl wrapping a pillar gauge pod? (or how to get the grain look) ThankS!

[@josephtreasurecharms5463]

vid was awesome, so many tricks,

[@tommymadux3646]

If your using a hart adjustable wrench watch out they tend to slip of the nut or bolt very easy and smash knuckles

[@brandonotis8470]

Awesome Awesome video man!! really looking forward to more!!

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Brandon Otis Thanks! Did you see video #2 of this series?

[@JacobFrey]

Top notch, as always.

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Jacob Frey Thank you Jacob

[@arsenizhakov]

Great video, nice to see you again...

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Arsen Izhakov Thank you for commenting, glad to be back making some more videos.

[@djrockwell5722]

Do you sell these pods?

[@Josh-py2in]

Looks like I'll be paying someone instead hahaha

[@shanesubashe787]

How do you make a bigger door pod to hold more speakers? Say 5 or 6.

[@godfreykristian]

Would you suggest angling the speakers so they’re aiming at the listener?

[@maya_coqsalonga]

Hey Mark, thanks for the work you're doing to educate the car audio community. A these speakers connected to the door pod and not the inner metal skin of the door?

[@AzzenGear]

Hey Mark. Can you show us a quick vid on using a single bearing flush trim bit to do the mesh from the door. I'm afraid I'm going to mess up. Cause I just cant hack $200 bucks for that bit being I'm not a shop fabricator- just personal home use type.

[@th3unn3rv3d3]

WELCOME BACK!!!

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Th3uNn3rV3d Thank you, glad to be back!

[@j4kethegreat91]

Marrrrrk!!! Damn can't believe Ima first comment!! Haha. I just got a box design from you can't wait to start building it. My 02 av has the same door panels! I have to so something like this!! Awesome work man great video!

[@dwizl7213]

Mabye on here but if you were on Panteon you would've seen it yesterday lol. I as well, got my box designed by Mark for 2 SA 12's, you won't be disappointed because my box slams.

[@CarAudioFabrication]

[@CarAudioFabrication]

dwizl7213 Love my Patreon subscribers!

[@ledmk2]

Nice made

[@CasinovaGaming]

Love the videos, I know this is an old one but I'm going to be making some pods for my 00 silverado. Do you have a link to that stacked bearing bit you're using? I tried double stacked bearing flush trim bit and it was not working at all lol

[@nareshmechanik]

Good job friend

[@stiko287]

Love the vids bro keep them coming. ...

[@xperformance1]

Great video as always. ? Which program do u use to test ur box designs? port velocity

[@IMxRELEASINGxANGER]

Really love these videos! Makes taking on these types of builds more manageable!!!

[@TonyMontana-os8ri]

Great video and awesome machine. How do u call it?

[@JJonescaraudio1]

you should do this with basic tools not everybody has all these tools to make this happen

[@CarAudioFabrication]

JJonescaraudio1 Check out some of my earlier videos for some work arounds to do these steps without these more advanced tools, its like anything though, having the right tool for the job makes the end result much better and easier to obtain.

[@JJonescaraudio1]

thanks for letting me know and I hear ya!

[@JJonescaraudio1]

wow thanks for the info

[@VLLAN-tt9on]

CarAudioFabrication even though thats true and we know that, still not everyone has those tools

Everything about them is simple Except for making that

[@hondarider436]

How To Make Simple Door Pods Using Tools You Can't Afford

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Yet everyday I have people sending me pics of what they built. Most of them aren't the type of people that look to find excuses why they can't do something. Everything shown in this video can be done with basic tools.

[@chancepantswindham7745]

That’s why you won’t ever do shit ‘Canella”. Little punk bitch.

[@MrLs1racer]

Anybody with one of these trucks or suvs ever put an 8" in the door?

[@gottabthepeopleschoice7886]

Can u make me a pair?

[@djrockwell5722]

Where can I buys these already made?

[@billygreenhorn9275]

walmart

[@lkjyuiop1987]

I like this stuff but I need a new car but my car is old but runs very well so I'm Stuck with it for a wile. I tried that fiberglass crap all I got was a sticky pice of shit Hope it drys someday it smells bad

[@KBCHILLIN614]

when it stays sticky it means you didn't use enough hardener you can go over it agin just add more hardener

[@austinalford51]

You shud just make em and sell them I wud buy it make one for my g35? I'll pay you 150 for both doors.

[@CarAudioFabrication]

😂 Sorry but $150 isn't even close to what I would need to charge for these.

[@jr1001jr]

@@CarAudioFabrication 🤯

[@drjd2real]

What's the point of this if you don't show how you attached the piece to the door panel?

[@bobbg9041]

Screws with large flat washers. you want to try and keep the original door panel in tact. But other then that its just Eye candy because a 6.5 will fit that door without this panel added on.

[@NAPPYBOY7488]

If you need pictures of my vehicle I can send them to you

[@LlamaGumby]

hi. luv you. bye.

[@CarAudioFabrication]

LlamaGumby Love you too

[@joesal361]

Hey. Sell me those!

[@BobJones-hf7bt]

Buy a CNN router table will save a lot of time and time = $$$$$

[@drjd2real]

never mind, I see my answer in part 6

[@robertsweet584]

In my 20 plus years of doing this kind of work ive never once needed a router shield thats the biggest waste of money

[@OGYouTubeEnjoyer]

Wow I bet you feel pretty important telling a bunch of random people on the internet. Great job here is your "Who gives a fuck" Trophy. Congrats bro!

[@vlldavid]

He says simple,HAHA

[@AzzenGear]

Yea but that stacked trim bit is $200 bucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@CarAudioFabrication]

You can lower and raise the bit as you go around the piece. Just more time consuming.

[@vuthatoeung2655]

😜

[@50sRat]

that bit shows that its bent.....

[@CarAudioFabrication]

Moldy Taco Huh

[@amic79]

LOL Simple.....

[@kornbred8934]

i love your videos but that shit is the farthest thing from"simple" common "joes" dont have all the stuff needed for that. good videos though

[@paulpaez8415]

This wasn’t simple man.

[@djrockwell5722]

Do you sell these pods?
