[QUOTE="Jcsaudio, post: 8639704, member: 673752"] This is true, especially for larger midbass and woofer drivers; so you do have to select carefully there. For tweeters though, you can score big time over more expensive lesser quality automotive specific types, provided you can fit them as some are large. For mid range drivers where an enclosure is less important, especially the higher you high pass them, you can attain great results. For the OP, [URL="http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/"]Car Audio | DiyMobileAudio.com | Car Stereo Forum[/URL] is a place where this has been discussed many times and where members share their experiences. If you want to learn more than that is the place to go. As LosIsATool stated, you do have to be careful about moisture control within a door with a woofer for example. In my CX5, the back of the woofer is protected and out of the drip line of the window above. I did however take some precautions and created some rain shields just in case. The Dayton woofers in my truck use neodymium magnets with underhung VC that is shielded from the enviromeant and they have been in their for a year now without issue. I’m just getting into small full range drivers and so far i’m impressed. I think my goals are different than most here so it all depends on what you’re looking for. Every vehicle and every person will be different. [/QUOTE]
