[QUOTE="nineball, post: 6288773, member: 585829"] getting the new speaker wire into the door was a pain and a half. i wanted to attach it to the factory wiring and pull it through but the wire was so brittle it broke somewhere in the middle. i had to remove the plastic piece in the back of the trunk to get to the grommets on the passenger side. the wires are ran in the same place as the power window/mirror wires. i had to take the door off to get them into it, and even using a 2x4 on a floor jack to help support the door it still took me a few hours. working alone on removing, installing and lining up doors is NOT the way to do it. if you ever attempt this get a friend first. bought a set of xtc foam baffles to replace the tired and cracked factory ones. cut off the back and bottom since all i am using them for is a rain shield.

[IMG]http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a357/nineballots/911%20audio/100_4525.jpg[/IMG] next on the list was a layer of damplifier pro on the inner door skin. i left a piece of the paper backing in place to allow the lock bar to slide. [IMG]http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a357/nineballots/911%20audio/100_4527.jpg[/IMG] anywhere there was a bolt or hole for something i cut around and left it exposed. made sure not to go all the way to the edge for a clean look and no problems later. this stuff has a 6mm layer of foil and it will serve as the new moisture barrier. the factory one was still in place but it basically crumbled in my hands when i removed it. the good news is the inside of the door was clan and dry and had zero signs of rust anywhere. [IMG]http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a357/nineballots/911%20audio/100_4528.jpg[/IMG] put the panel back on and this is the (almost) final product. tweet is in an agnled surface mount as it would not fit with a flush mount. i still have to install the mid in the door but since it was 1am i decided to call it quits for the day. [IMG]http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a357/nineballots/911%20audio/100_4529.jpg[/IMG] went back today and installed the mid and put everything back in it's place. later this week i will tackle the drivers door and in a few weeks build the rear seat delete/sub enclosure.
