[QUOTE="ultimate157, post: 4712385, member: 566638"] Well I picked up a a set of used Vifa PL18WO's off a member, which can be seen here: [URL="http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&Partnumber=297-324"]http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&Partnumber=297-324[/URL] I installed the passenger side on a 3/4" MDF baffle, 6 sheet metal screws into the door, with 6 screws holding down the mid. I left the driver side CDT 6.5" in to compare. The CDT is mounted only on a plastic ring, which is mounted to the sheet metal. What I'm really confused about, is the fact that the Vifa's sound as if they have an HPF on them... They have almost no noticeable midbass at all. The baseline CL-61 CDT's put them to shame. The previous owner had some foam stuck to the basket; It can be seen in the pictures. I left it there when I installed the mid since I have never seen it done before. Could the foam between the mid and the MDF be acting as a damper on the low frequency response? Thanks, Matt Dehydration FTMFL.
