[QUOTE="ThxOne, post: 8655611, member: 675210"] Ok, I have sound deadening on my doors and specifically where my speaker mounts in the factory locations. My speakers actually mount on top of the material, no spacers, its sound deadening then the sheet metal. They have been in and out of the doors dozens of times and as I discovered today, I could move the speakers with my finger. Apparently the screws have made the screw holes bigger. So I increased the size of the screw and exchanged them from the black "stinger" screws to stainless steel screws. #14 x 3/4". Fat little suckers. I have a ton of speaker gasket material just sitting here so I figured since they were gonna be out of the doors, might as well add another layer of sealant. What I was able to do was lower my crossover on the front speakers from 100hz to 80hz @12db, increase gain on my EQ for 62.5hz up 2db to -2db and 100hz up 3db to -1db, lower my subwoofer gain from +3db to 0db. All from adding speaker gasket material to the speaker and using bigger screws which allowed me to basically make the speaker part of the door they are so tight against them. Nuts. Oh, my FH-168 speaker polarity tester came in the mail today so bonus. [/QUOTE]
