[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 2039473, member: 555320"] Someone needs to stop reading marketing propoganda [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif[/IMG] The sound isn't "lost" in the door panel. The rearwave does not (or atleast, shouldn't) contribute to the sound you hear. That is strictly the frontwave of the speaker. The rearwave in a sealed enclosure is reflected back towards the speaker. For subs, this isn't a big deal. For speakers, this can create distortion and decrease the performance of the speaker. Which is why most worthy home audio speakers have thick foam lining within the enclosure...to prevent the reflection of the rearwave. Deflex pads/foam padding are still desireable in an infinite baffle alignment. However, the problem is amplified when using an actual enclosure with midrange speakers. Not to mention, most car audio speakers are specificially designed to perform best in an infinite baffle alignment. Sealing the speaker will only hinder the performance in most cases. [/QUOTE]
