[QUOTE="temposs, post: 4533183, member: 555264"] Initially I was deadset to mount the Dyn 162's in the doors (and the tweeters in the a-pillar), using a baffle to extend outwards to the door panel, and then mounting a door pod off of that to achieve better imaging. I wasted about 5 hours one day trying several methods of fabbing up a decent baffle to do this. The problem was that Ford placed nearly 40% of the stock speaker behind the solid door panel area - not behind the speaker grill! The baffle would have needed to fit to the stock location, and come off at a steep angle to make it into the stock grill area.

Again - simple, clean looking. These took roughly a day to mount/angle the rings, wrap, and glass and then about 3 hours to fill, sand, and wrap with vinyl. I'm very happy with the result. [/QUOTE]
