[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8343847, member: 576029"] buy an amp used, look for a good deal, in the $50-$100 range. deadener is the least helpful part of door treatments, despite being the only thing most people do. deadener only reduces resonance in panels, but that's not one of the major problems in a car door speaker install. lack of seals, lack of absorption, and lack of barriers are the major offenses. simply adding wood ribs to the door panels would be more effective than deadener (stiffening is great). making door speakers sound good doesn't cost a lot of money, but takes a lot of time. i spend at least 15 hours per door. the speaker install should be like this: [IMG]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e128/phat_funky_beats/Sound%20Domain/DoorSeals.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e128/phat_funky_beats/2014%20Accord%20Sport/accorddoors023.jpg[/IMG] using $3 weatherstripping foam can make a HUGE difference. adding sound absorption in the doors costs about $10 and makes a HUGE improvement [IMG]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e128/phat_funky_beats/2014%20Accord%20Sport/accorddoors002.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e128/phat_funky_beats/2014%20Accord%20Sport/accorddoors014.jpg[/IMG] covering the holes in the door also makes a big difference and you can use just about anything dense (even vinyl flooring), DB3 MLV from Home Depot pictured here: [IMG]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e128/phat_funky_beats/2014%20Accord%20Sport/accorddoors016.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e128/phat_funky_beats/2014%20Accord%20Sport/accorddoors020.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e128/phat_funky_beats/2014%20Accord%20Sport/accorddoors029.jpg[/IMG] cheap can sound great, like this build [URL="http:////forums/car-audio-build-logs-cars-trucks-suvs/611961-2002-camry-basic-sq-khas-wife.html"]http://www.caraudio.com/forums/car-audio-build-logs-cars-trucks-suvs/611961-2002-camry-basic-sq-khas-wife.html[/URL] an amplifier is required, no exception. but low budgets call for used gear.
