With the correct speaker size now determined and the correct aiming point now determined, we are ready to start building.

But before we start building, I just want to add this disclaimer:

There is no ONE WAY to build a speaker kick pod. In fact, there are a lot of different ways. I am only going to be showing you A WAY...not necessarily THE WAY to build a kick pod.


You get to work those details out yourself.

To start with, I take a piece of cardboard and cut out a template for the back plate to my speaker pod. I will then transfer this template onto a piece of 1/4" HDF and cut to make my back plate. Typically, I would have made this back plate out of fiberglass by taping everything off with blue tape, glueing polyester fleece onto the tape and then putting resin onto the fleece.

However, in this case, the kick panel area was so flat, I decided to use HDF for the back plate...

Here is the cardboard shape ready to be transferred to the HDF...
