Any news on the GTA Deluxe door panel pods? I've started design work on the rear box and gotten the wiring run...

 

I started on applying filler and started shaping them, but stopped for now. It takes a lot of time to make these that is better spent elsewhere.

I'm afraid they will end up like the 82-92 door pods I finished ....I'll devote time and effort to making them and I just sell one set and sitting on the rest.

That's also the case with my 2nd gen door pods for sure, I sold one set last may even after 10 or more people jumped in and said they were interested. After I said I was making them...nothing but crickets lol.

It's getting cold now, if I get bored on Christmas break I might dig back into it, but no guarantees at the moment. Got other stuff going on right now. Plus I have a full time job which makes it harder.

 

I hear you there. I've got to figure out what parking brake cable on mine is hanging and replace it but it's too cold for that crap. I'd do it if I wasn't just getting over being sick.

I'm highly interested. I wouldn't need grill covers as I plan on having the speakers visible.

 

Just bear with me, I don't like a lot on those, just backing off it for a bit

 

That's okay. Probably won't be able to do anything before at least February anyways.

 

Just a heads up, We had some bad weather days the last few weeks and was stranded at home lol. I went ahead and finished up the plugs for the GTA door pods. Planning on trying to pull a mold this weekend and maybe my first set if all goes well. Weather is getting nicer now.

I'll throw some of these on eBay and see how they go, I'm hoping I don't get any tire kickers on these like I did on the molds I took the time to make for the 82-92 standard doors.

I'm going to sell these for $150 shipped inside the lower 48 states off eBay, will be a little higher if they are going outside the USA.


Here's what I came up with



Thanks


They actually compliment the q-logic kickpanels so if you were doing a three-way speaker set up this would fit the bill.

 

6 and 1/2" ?

 

yes 6.5" speaker with a grill max diameter of 6-7/8" so it will sit flush

 

looks good. i may want a set.

 

Let me know, I have one set ready to go tomorrow morning

 

pm me the details for payment.
i can do paypal or send a check.

 

PM sent

 

pm replied to, and payment sent.

 

Went out yesterday, should have gotten tracking info to your email.

Thanks again,

Dennis

 

So I assume your cutting off the map pocket, obviously. How are you attaching the pod to the door panel ? Is there enough depth in the pod to mount the 6.5 without altering the inner sheetmetal ????

 

The map pocket unbolts out, no cutting on that.

The pods attach by screwing the pod to the door using long screws through the speaker mounting holes. Biting into the metal.

There's about 1.5" -1.75" depth in the pod itself, so your speakers need to be no deeper than that. You can cut some material out of the door panel behind the pod and gain another inch or so depth if needed

Thanks

 

That's a really tight fit. Have you found a speak that will fit using your pod without altering the door ?

 

Here's one, would be close


And another

There's speakers out there that will work


Like I said in the other post, you can cut some of the door panel out behind the pod and gain more room without cutting the metal in the door or hitting the metal. Your going to have to assume your going to cut on the factory door panels to install these. There will be some cutting and drilling into them. That's part of it.

 

There are a few that are close. could also use a spacer to gain some room as well. Do you have any ready to ship for the gta pods ? Looks like a fantastic pod, could be factory, Great job. Ill take a set. price and payment ?

 

You could add a spacer, but I honestly think you can get away with a 2" deep speaker if you cut the door panel and material behind the pod.

I don't have any ready to ship, but I can make a set for you and have it's on it's way to you Monday. I'll send tracking. I'm making them to order, so I won't start on it until I get the payment.

I'll send you my paypal info

Thanks again

Dennis

 

sounds good

 

THANKS, GOT THEM YESTERDAY. LOOKS LIKE THEY WILL BE A CLOSE FIT WITH THE SPEAKERS IM USING. TRIM RINGS FIT PERFECT.

 

Good deal, thanks again

Dennis

 

Do you have anymore Trans Am pods? The one that can fit a 6 1/2" and a tweeter and not the the GTA

 

IM me if you do

 

I replied to your PM

 

I have a set of GTA pods on hand if anyone is interested BTW - ready to ship

Put the GTA pods on eBay to move them out, I am NOT planning on making any more.

But I will be more than happy to do so in the future if the price is right Won't be this cheap.

 

I am interested in a set of pods for these type gta panels, but I would like the piece to completely cover the inset area, around the door handle and armrest area. What would something like this run. Thanks!!

 

I'm sorry, not making anything custom past what I already have to sell.

You can make what your asking using one of these pods. Just take some 1/8" hardboard and make it fit that area, then attach the pod to that and cover the whole piece in whatever material you are wanting to use.

Your welcome to bid on the auction and get a set for a cheaper price. I'm not pushing to sell these anymore as it's not really worth my time.

But if someone stumbles on this thread and wants a set I will be glad to make another one for $150 shipped to lower 48

Thanks again

 

OK, I appreciate it anyways.

 

No prob at all

 

Would you happen to still be making these or have a set you want to part ways with?

 

I'm sorry but I am not making them anymore, sold the last set years ago.

Thanks

 

Would you happen to have dimensions or anything like that in which you used? I am trying to build a set for my 84 transam.

 

I actually have a new never installed set of these that I would be willing to part with if you are interested? I decided I didn't want to cut up my original door panels.

 

Yes I’m interested. Can you send me a pic and how much you want for them.

 

PM sent

 

If the other person doesn't end up buying them off of you I'd be interested. I bought a set previously, but before I had a chance to install them they were stolen out of my storage building.

 

My set is sold
