Easy Custom Door Panels! *No Fiberglassing Needed* | DS18 Super Tweeters/Mids | Project Sequoia 2.0

[@walterwilliams2711]

I been dreading to do my door because of the fiberglass but after seeing you go this route, I'm gonna give this here a try

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Yeah I was in the same boat man

[@robsorgdrager8477]

Just remember, you can lay out carbon fiber the same way you do fiber glass. The only reason you need to vacuum carbon is if you are making a structural part for impact strength of for a wing so it will flex and be strong. Rolling carbon is still strong but really light and it's better at sound dampening. Heck I've used old fleece blankets and that really cuts down on the itch. With fiberglass just remember, the colder the shower the better it removes the itch... Used to work for LUND industry and really cold water takes the slivers out.

[@wtfngarage2082]

Same man let git some doors made lol

[@vincebowling1778]

Great tip on tightening the door clips up at the end…thanks! 👍

[@budgetaudiowithJ]

I was drinking my coffee yesterday watching this video, now I want to add 2 more tweeters to each door, thanks.

[@kalebcarter3477]

Nice video! I did a similar thing with 8 8’s in the 2 front doors of my f150, once difference is that I made a trim panel that a removable baffle mounted to. Then made a quick disconnect wiring harness that plugged into a distribution block on the back of the baffle. Can strip the door in less than a minute. I also ended up doing a little body filler over top the foam that I used to smooth out and spray with a gloss black to match the rest of the interior 👍🏼

[@davidschreckengost7959]

Does look nice bro. In case anyone doing this wants or needs extra room you can easily integrate the wood to the inside of the panel!

[@ClayKickersOutdoors]

That is clean! Probobly gonna do this to my Xj once I get around to starting that build

[@jasonwelborn1903]

This is my second or third time watching this video and I love it I’m slowly gaining the confidence to do my own Thanks for the content

[@SidyDidIt]

crazy I literally was just talking about doing my doors in a similar way because I didn't want to fool with glassing them and now you made a video

[@rustyharrison9344]

Thanks for making this video parker.. I need to build custom door pods for my new system.. was trying to find ways to do it without fiberglass.. awesome video.. keep up great work

[@Brian1.]

I excited too Parker. Nice job on those door cards brother.

[@eugene9941]

Dude…that looks badass. Your doors are going to scream.

[@intropurp2564]

Love the budget builds!!

[@dylanandersen9318]

Definitely should have just added to the Deaf Bonce speakers, but I completely get wanting to try new things. Hopefully you enjoy the DS18 just as much if not more! Looking good Parker!

[@6wil0liam2]

Pleather looks a little rough but fuck it. Looks decent and I'm sure it sounds amazing.

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Yeah I’m not 100% happy with the pleather but it gets the job done for now

[@gregfrasier5005]

How do you get the material from pealing off on hot days?

[@jerseylife8701]

Holy cow, thanks for this. I’m definitely going to chop up my 96 accord now. I’ve been missing mid bass for years. Thanks for the non fiberglass solution. And cheers to a fellow dub dnb fan. Just got back from secret dreams

[@darrellw22]

Amazing door panels bro 👌 I am inspired 🙂 2 do mine thinking bout doing 4-8" sundown mids & 4- tweets in my 2010 Tahoe

[@ugkforlife8405]

next time you could maybe try using a heat gun to warm up the vinyl so it can get a good stretch and if the edges are still a little rough.. glue some vinyl trim. I hope my advice works on my pleather im about to stretch it over my panels lol. I am using a very similar method to yours. I taped off the door panel before foaming gapped edges.. I hope the foam is strong enough to hold my wrap when i tuck it.

[@pablohernandez8427]

Wow I’m glad to see how much your channel has grown I love all your videos man keep up the good work

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

I appreciate you!!

[@soundbeast39]

Get loud 🔊Love the vids man I'll be doing something like this in your video here soon just Had the twin's on Friday so plans on my car audio when we get home 🤙🏼

[@realpatriot5896]

You can put all the speakers you want in your door but nothing compares to a set of Q-Form kick panels with some speakers like Boston Acoustic Pro 60's pushed with a JL Audio 300/2 supplemented with some more high-quality components like JL Audio C-2 or C-3 followed up with some coaxials for the rear doors pushed with a JL Audio 300/4 then build a center console ported box with the port and speaker facing the rear either a 10W6V2 or v3 or a 10W7Ae3 pushed with a 500/1 or 600/1 JL class D amp. With a center console box in a full-sized truck you can leave in the factory mounting system that connects to the truck frame and get no rattling and distortion with of course the proper sound deadening of your vehicle pre install. Looks great buddy! Oh and do not forget to install two matching AGM batteries that match and wire them properly and you will not need capacitors. Full size trucks come with an extra spot for the second battery for the diesel options in their truck lines.

[@terryburton971]

Jls are over rated i switched a long time ago... Alpine & Pioneer. Z series

[@terryburton971]

I ran jls the foam surrounds on my w3v2s back in the day dry rotted just junk speakers..... Jl 6x9s couldn't handle the bass lol

[@michaelpuckett2084]

Heat gun would have made the pleather go around the edges without cutting still great job Parker the v2 is turning out awesome

[@jermainequest2181]

Nice I have some of those I'm ordering Like how you did it yourself. Gave me an ideal on how I'll do mines. Thanks for the video

[@mariotavena8664]

Great setup! I like the design but I would've spent a little more time on the upholstery. You could've covered the whole bottom with the pleather as the door panel separates into two pieces. Even if you didn't use fiberglass a nice layer of bondoglass would've been a stronger bond.

[@Up_North_Adventures]

Great video....I am currently in process of figuring out what I want to do for my 09 Tahoe. I'm a total noob to car audio, but I'm learning as I go. I want loud music in my truck so I'm researching my way to next level haha.

[@LostBoy1026]

That is really nice!! Diggin it!! Been wondering how I'm going to do my doors in my truck!

[@kevinwilliams5809]

Nice work, bro. Definitely gives me confidence to do the same. Thanks for the vid👊🏾👊🏾👍🏾

[@dab_a_day]

Great Video Parker, those panels look great with those DS18's that Sequoia going to be a banger!

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Thanks man I can’t wait to get everything done

[@jleron22]

This is a great setup fam, I will be following this step by step process to upgrade the mids & highs on my 98 marquis 👍👍

[@scoot7091]

I've been waiting for something like this! :)

[@snauspockets9924]

I think if you get a nice grayish carpet to match the doors that would be a better option than that black pleather. It would look more stock and the black woofers would stand out better. Maybe you have some leftover after pulling it out of the back?

[@adrianfernandez3923]

Sweet now that my cars paid I’m going to the same thing , have a few of those same ds18’s waiting for me . I always said I would only do fiberglass because the wood never looks original or clean but yours came out alright it actually looks nice with that many speakers on there. That foam though haha I was wondering how you where going to fill in the gaps

[@nicholasgilson1412]

Ds18 also makes some speaker enclosure type things that go over the original panels if that something you can do

[@isaaccaraudio4455]

After using this budget series you should try the exl series bro. Been viewing this channel since the first sub review in the Subaru, glad to see you doing bigger things keep up the good work

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Thanks man come a long way!

[@cargatube4473]

They came out pretty clean brotha nice job 4” coil huh that’s gunna be fun

[@Gnik4144]

Great outcome man!!! But now I’m interested in that Subaru too lol

[@catch22frubert]

Great video Parker! Nice job on the doors. They came out awesome. Can't wait to see how the build comes out for this year. I just saw the Blackbrick Brickhouse subs. I'd love to see you run 6 of those Brickhouse in the back of the Sequoia. Its gonna take a bigger amp though! Personally, I would love to see you rock 2 of the white Wolfram 9k amps strapped together at like 1.66 ohms or whatever it comes out to be with 6 subs.

[@tomasserrano2793]

Another banger video yet again he didn't let us down

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Good to hear!!

[@chevyboy2760]

You got me thinking now this looks so easy to do man lol

[@418lightning8]

im still fighting these damn manual cranks I messed up and overheated one and broke the crank so now got to remove the whole window and all to fix it

[@dennisrandall8040]

Love sky high audio stuff. Their wire is sick!!

[@makepeace2850]

Great job. Thanks for showing us how to. Im going to try this on my yukon. I'm excited 👊

[@sethglenn9022]

Wish my sequoia had nice black paint like yours.

[@tonyonkey]

every time you upload its a great day

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Really good to hear!!

[@Jacob-Faria]

The only ds18 product I’ve ever heard were a set of super tweeters, got them because of the price for a family members vehicle and was pretty impressed lol they over powered the door midrange/sub set up that was in the car by quite a bit while sounding pretty clear from what I remember. Idk about their other speakers, but their big tweets are definitely not a bad buy if anyone’s wondering.

[@steveholland1163]

i would have gone with a gray pleather it would have matched the interior better

[@AKEYFACTOR]

This is awesome! Will you please update the video information with a list of the products you used. Please, thank you in advance if you see this!

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

What products would you like me to list?

[@AKEYFACTOR]

@@ParkerTheBasshead I’d really like to know the spray foam you used and the leather. Where you got them and brand names if you don’t mind. Thanks again, love your content. Keep up that smile!

[@franklynlindsay2728]

Great video Bro, Now I'm thinking about replacing all my factory speakers in my 2014 Audi Q7, What do you recommend I love JL Audio Speakers

[@robsorgdrager8477]

I would love to do some doors like this but the supply of pioneer pro drivers is dwindling ( this is a very bad thing ) ....you want to talk about LOUD !!!!! with less power, those are awesome. I'm not sure how I feel about the ds18 line. I am proud of you parker, I remember when you would just pop subs and now look at you....building and running your channel. You inspire me to do more. Peace young blood, we are all very proud of our young man!!!!!✌️🤗🤜🤛

[@Peaterbeaterchickeneater]

Great video now I’m ready to mine needed some motivation thanks man

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Good to hear!!

[@Peaterbeaterchickeneater]

I know you said you did this the way you do because of time all I’m gonna do fiberglass on top of all the other steps this is way better then the speaker rings snd hot glue and sticks that I see everyone else do

[@MickeyMishra]

I'm almost tempted to take some of these very inexpensive drivers and send them to G & R research and see if Danny can do any magic with them

[@drunkenbass6128]

Kind of like what I did with mine. Except I just chopped the bottom half of the factory door panel

[@johnalenwork53]

Sweet job BROTHER!!!

[@BassAddict91]

Great work bro thats all the motivation I needed

[@cryogenikaffliktion1769]

Nice work, Parker. You did a good job.

[@dp-calibrations2057]

Looks clean bro! Great video as always 👍👊

[@garymiller652]

Looks badass man fr! I need a list of some of you bass songs you use and where to get them lol

[@cookies-monster]

Congrats, excellent video bro!

[@g-track5065]

You taught me something and you inspired me

[@suciosmob2051]

Just bought the exact same door speaker set🤪, i have the same car to lol just no sunroof. Ive been watching parkers videos for months now and he’s convinced me to build a 16000 watt system.. without this guy i wouldnt have this goal. The only trouble im having is how im going to connect another 4 channel amp for my tweeters. For now they will be powered off the headunit… to connect 2 4 channel amps i was thinking 4 y splitters, 2 for the left and 2 for the right to equal 8 outputs. Any recommendationss?

[@watsonlow22]

Damn this what I want to do to my blazer...Nice work

[@csj9619]

New fasteners for the door panels can be obtained at any auto parts store in packs of 10-12 pieces. Those fasteners are something I never liked about GM vehicles.

[@MichaelJohnson-je2vo]

My man Parker does it again the door panels are off the hook but that music you were playing when you put down the pleather was even better where did that come from how do I get a copy

[@thomasdailey2924]

Nice video Parker gonna do the same thing to my truck

[@mackie_p]

It's definitely a budget option, interested to see how long they last you.

[@RingtoneCentral]

I've had a pair of ds18 6 inch mids in my doors for about 4 years and i recently took them out to upgrade to 8 inch. They just got a little dis coloured but still sounded and felt great

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Me too man!! We will see

[@antihero2174]

It's not a show car...its a daily driver that has good sound...some people just want to enjoy their music..looks good to me and practical

[@jessiesexton6226]

looks good I have a Chevy Tahoe I wonder can you do the same thing with the two front door panels

[@isaflo713]

My fist video and I just subscribed good shit brother! 💯

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Thank you means a lot!!

[@isaflo713]

I was wondering how I was going to do my doors thanks bro thanks so much! I've watched so many videos but none as detailed as your content. Keep pushing that fire bro!

[@Hayawasa]

If that is the highest of your ability, thats all you can do. If i was going to go through the trouble of cutting up my door panel , i would spend the extra time and money to go fiberglass. Its not that hard and even if you arent good at sanding , you can put carpet or rhino line it and hide alot. Still yet a good tutorial for people with minimal patience and skill level.

[@jonathanpadilla8252]

Bro that looks dope af but really don’t know how you wired them speakers later on can u do a tutorial on how to wire speakers like that

[@sedrickwells8545]

I know what to do with my suburban now. Was gonna buy some custom door pods but this just sent me in a new direction

[@stanmondzelewski9253]

Theres a guy the goes by Spraywaycustoms on youtube. He mixes up what he calls rondo. Its a mix of fiberglass resin and body filler that can be brushed on smooth. Looks easier than sanding a bunch of filler

[@kcmann4152]

I think fiberglass is the way to go so its more contour shape for the door

[@mezmorizedauto1]

Awesome job!! Dope!! What music you playing? Nice music choice on your vids.

[@doddgarger6806]

I'd be more likely to track down some image dynamics horns and hide them somewhere and an 8 on each side with enough power is wayyy more than enough Heck my ppi 6.5 components with 95x2 is painful in my Jeep

[@royaltybuiltco]

You make it look so simple !

[@Narcolepsykid]

Most people use shallow mount subwoofers for projects in small tight spaces.However, I have an idea that's going to use 4 sealed shallow mount and 4 vented shallow mount. With regular size subs I have TONS of options. In the shallow mount world it seems that SKAR is the best. What is the beafyist shallow mount 12??

[@rybf2298]

Where can I find this guy so he can do my doors like that with the pleather. Thats is so awesome

[@kilgoretrout4461]

You should install Some sort of trim around the whole thing. It will look much better with that rough edge cleaned up. Don’t do all that. Work not to do the last 5%, which will really make it look much much better. Cheers

[@gavinmcclure8047]

I'm curious how those ds18 compared to the soundqubed 6.5"s

[@25hztolife14]

Amazing work. Luv the layout.

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Thank you so much!!!

[@AdamJDe]

dude awesome video everything is looking awesome

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Thanks really means a lot!!

[@donjaun540]

Hey y'all great video. Wondering if you're going to put new speaker wire to doors and amp and if you'd show how you wired up?

[@psycobone1]

That's one.nice hillbilly riggin ! Hell I'm going to try it lol

[@chefleon2967]

Man that's str8 genius mode right there. Love it. Hell I might try to tackle the doors before the show. Also I saw that you covered you door courtesy light, thought about doing some leds around it just for accent or are you not gonna re-use yours

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

That’s a good idea!

[@Quan.216]

Great job Parker and DS18 done well on those door speakers, I hate that people here in Ohio stop talking down on them and they never heard them in person and i noticed that some shops here sell the cheat version and they will tear after a few days. For those idiots out there godfathers are not the best you can get, dont get me wrong they are good but not the best.

[@mugs2169]

Come talk to me bro I won’t install anyone’s American Bass speakers. It’s all Ground Zero or Diamond. Crescendos are nice too. DS18 sold out long ago and they never been the same.

[@marioking983]

Damn I wish I found this video before I did fiberglass lmao then my doors wouldn't look like ass 😂🤣 welp time to restart my doors lol

[@jamesmarze9850]

Nice job parker

[@mickstube1981]

bit late since the vid is 2 year old but correction 4 x 8 ohm speakers in serious gives 32 ohms , to achieve 2 ohms you need to wire in parallel

[@jonrockgoodpeopledosomethi6638]

Excellent job. Now let’s say you have 4 sets of component speakers to use on the doors with 8 cross overs. Now since your doing the series & parallel there’s one 4 ohm lead for the mid & one 4 ohm lead for the tweeters so when I hook this up to the cross over is the power rating now still the same? 100-200RMS? How does the series & parallel change how much power I can now use? Does it require mores power because four speakers share the load of one per cross over point?

[@sppb32]

Time for that Taramps DS1200X4

[@mpeezy358]

Great vid bro that looks really good. What amp are you using for the doors?

[@efrainhernandez8981]

That looks like a lot of weight on the door. Since this video have you had any issues with the panel, if so did you add anything to secure the panel and make it sturdy?

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Yeah I’d you close the door too fast it will pop out some of the clips. Had to add a few bolts

[@EazyTheRecon]

@@ParkerTheBasshead if you do this probably go with shawllow mount neos so they arent has heavy
