[QUOTE="NSTALN, post: 8637315, member: 588169"] I used to own a 2004 Durango...pretty sure they have the same dash and front doors... You can go bigger in the dash if you want. I had a set of Phoenix Gold Elite (Morel Elate) 5's and tweets in the dash. The panel closest to the windshield just pops out. I cut the mounting hole where the plastic 'grill' holes were and put the tweets just to the side (surface mounted to match the 5 inch drivers). Under the panel you'll find a shallow tub created by the inner dash frame. I covered the underside of the plastic panel with dynamat and also added a bit to the inner dash frame. I used dynamat to cover/seal the 3.5 inch factory mount on the inner dash. Last I added a small amount of polyfil in the dash before putting the plastic panel/speakers back in. The Morels/PG's are pretty shallow so you'll just need to get a shallow driver. The doors are even better to deal with...they are hard plastic and and have a ton of room behind them. I literally just cut a mounting hole right on the front of the door panel where the grill is. That lower area is large enough to accommodate Phoenix Gold Elite/Morel Elate 9's!!! I just cut the grill out to the mounting diameter of the 9's and secured them directly to the door panel along with the grill. The door panel sits pretty tight to the door itself, I don't recall having to take any measures to seal it additionally. I crossed the 5 comps at 200hz and up, the 9's 200hz-60hz, and a single TC Sounds 15 from 60hz down. Seriously the best sounding system I've ever built/owned...and I've built quite a few. You don't have to go as crazy as I did...but you can. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
