Doors are the worst possible locations for any speaker.

ya know its funny.... I was just reading yesterday on someone's thread that some people in SQ competitions leave their speakers in the stock door locations so.... take that for what its worth

Sure. These are some that I built out of the factory panel but you will get the idea. Basically just have to connect the fiberglass piece to the q-logic panel. You will probably have to glass it onto it and texture/repaint it as well. You will have to excuse the quality of some of the pictures. I'd say try it with it completely closed and see how it sounds first before you cut through into the area behind the panel. Also be sure to do something to the q-logic part to strengthen it up or add mass to it.

Do your kicks aperiodic membrane vent outside? How do you keep moisture, air, road debris and snow out of your truck? I was interested in doing aperiodic for my midbasses but I have no practical way of letting air travel out of the door while keeping everything else outside.

They might be midbasses playing fairly low or they might have created custom mounts and tested for imaging before glassing them up. I'd amend xtreme's statement and say that speakers in doors int he stock location are pretty bad.
