Good point--it gets hot here in Texas. I tried my luck using Peel-N-Seal for the interior door panels, stiff vinyl tile to seal large holes, and a square of thick carpet padding behind the speaker itself. Slightly rigged, but the door is now about 90% sealed instead of 20% sealed. (Dang Ford...

Decided to go with either JL Audio TR570-CXi or the JBL GTO8629. Which would you recommend if it's running off a 22W head unit? I've read that JL is vastly superior to JBL, but the specs on the JBL seem better for running off a head unit. What do y'all think? JBL: 93 dB 49 - 21k Hz 5-60 W...

Hmm... the Infinity advertise themselves as "true 4 ohm" and are 93Db sensitivity or something. So....what would you guys recommend for running off of a 22W RMS HU? I've wired up a 6 channel amp in an older car of mine and don't ever want to do that again :p

But the stockers in an untreated door actually give a "thump" that will fluff my pants. The Infinity in a treated door sounds like tinny ***. What will give me as much midbass as stock?

5x7" speakers--for a 2005 Ford Focus. I will have a stock 8" amp installed soon.

Howdy all! I recently replaced my crappy 2005 Ford speakers with Infinity Reference speakers. The door is deadened and sealed to an extent, speaker is mounted to a foam ring. The infinity reference midbass is nonexistent! They are so tinny, every high note hurts the ears. The stock speakers...

My 2005 focus has absolutely awful stock speakers that need to be replaced. I will be deadening the doors, but still need to choose 5x7 speakers! Leaning towards infinity reference, Alpine type S, or JBL. Which of these do y'all suggest?

It's a $150 amp on Amazon for $100. Lots of 4.5 star ratings. I'd rather buy used if it's a decent deal.

Hmm, the one I'm looking at for $100 has the same specs and a 4 year warranty. What's your best best price?

Because money, and a more sensitive speaker will sound better with my current head unit.

Ahh dang it. Still, what speakers will sound decent off the head unit, and will allow me to expand to a 55w rms amp in the future?

How much for this?

I'm looking at a lightly used 50x4/ 250x1 for $100.

How much for it?

Something to drive an 8" sub and four door speakers which I have not purchased yet.
