[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 1530788, member: 555320"] What kind of car is this? In most of the vehicles I've dealt with, down in the lower front portion of the door (where most "stock door speaker" locations are), the inner door metal is already non-existant even in cars that didn't have stock door speakers. All I've ever needed to do to drop a component set into the lower front of the doors, when the vehicle didn't have any stock door speakers, was cut away at the door panel and make an MDF baffle for them. Very simple, can be done in an afternoon, and can yield good results sound wise. About your imaging concerns....even a lot of midrange speakers end up being off-axis, even when in kickpanels (and especially when in stock door locations). Typically when you start off aiming your kicks, most experienced people will tell you to start off aiming both kicks at the back of the HU. Reason for this is that if you try to aim the kicks towards the listeners, then you end up being more off-axis with the far side speaker than the near side speaker....and this can cause some problems with frequency response, intensity differences, etc. So, to cure this, you aim the speakers so that you closer to being evenly off-axis from both of them....so, the aiming may not be all that much more different with a good ole comp set than just a midbass [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
