[QUOTE="maylar, post: 7574099, member: 541144"] So up to this point I have an amp, subs, and Morel Maximos mounted in modified GM enclosures. Inside of my doors looks like this without the speaker boxes: [IMG]http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6178/6168638061_c09cb8d6c3_z.jpg[/IMG] Lots of open space. Decisions.. mount a wooden baffle in there and seal the door cavity somehow, or plan B - move the speakers to the outside of the doors? Plan B - Wooden baffles covered with vinyl - [IMG]http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6096/6337618902_1f6783575a_z.jpg[/IMG] But the plastic box will be directly behind the speaker and still have an influence. The top of the boxes are also used for mounting window control electronics. Solution - band saw them in half: [IMG]http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6212/6336864649_3d89deab8d_z.jpg[/IMG] The upper part is still used. I also threw some money at the install and went for HAT Imagine speakers so I don't have to deal with the Morel's tweeter on-axis. They have better midbass anyway: [IMG]http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6098/6337619922_6bb44770b1_z.jpg[/IMG] So that's where I am with it today. I still need to deaden the plastic door panels thoroughly, as there's some midrange resonances there. The 6X9's will be replaced with a pair of 8" subs in a sealed box (might need more power for that). The whole thing has cost me over $900 so far and I'm still not satisfied. Such is car audio.
