[QUOTE="Vesjåg, post: 8697767, member: 679048"] So after some fiddling I came up with something i'm fairly happy with. I used what I had laying around, mainly components that came with my speakers, foam rings and rubber vibration dampeners. [ATTACH type="full" width="190px" alt="20713"]20713[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="194px" alt="20711"]20711[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" width="188px" alt="20712"]20712[/ATTACH] Adapter that came with the speakers mounted directly onto the door panel. Egg shaped foam behind the speaker and foam rings on the far side of the adapter. Rubber in front to reduce vibrations doubles as a fairly airtight seal. I have ordered universal grilles that I hope will cover screws, and Zapco ST-4B amplifier to power them JBL's. I placed tweeters in top of A pillar and it actually plays very well. I was afraid it would be an acoustic gap between mid range and tweeter but it sounds really good. But looking forward to more power when amplifier arrives. The mids sounds under powered playing directly from the head unit. For the future I will make acrylic rings that's big enough to go on-top of door panel and hide screw holes and mount the speakers onto them. This should do for a more sturdy and eye pleasing design.
