	Before I commit my design to wood, I just thought I'd run this by people on here.. I'm trying to make some speaker pods to go down by my feet in my Escort mk3. At the moment I've made a cardboard mock up to get the size right. Should I make them out of plywood or MDF. I wanted to use ply becuse I could make them easier and cover them easier I think, I've noticed a lot of people make this things out of mdf tho... I think it'll take to much space up down there. Here's what I have: I tried to slope it to angle the sound out. Btw these speakers are too big and the original car pods are silly expensive which is why I'm making my own . Thanks Chris

	If its going on the door MDF or ply could be abit heavy and what happens when it gets wet? I'd make the box in 5mm backboard then cover in afew layers of fiberglass, could cover in material or fill and paint

	you could get footwell pods back in the day, i had a set in mine what i would suggest is make a mdf ring for the speaker , cover the footwell area with lots of parcele tape then layer on some fibre glass to form to the shape of the foot well , lash on the speaker ring at the angle you want them some t shirt stretched over it all and more resin lots of how to online if you search www.caraudiocentral.net/forums/fabrication-/12715-diy-build-fiberglass-kick-pods.html
