Well, the speakers are now installed, and I must say, they sound amazing, so much better than stock its not even funny.

Did you install them in the doors? If so, were they too deep in the stock mounting location? Did you use the factory plastic mounting bracket, or build a mounting bracket from MDF?

Any pics of the install?

Thanks!

Used the stock stuff in the doors, I did have to cut some of the rubber sleeve off of the pillar the guides the window, but it was on the opposite side of where the window hits it so it no big deal. The tweeters are mounted kinda weirdly, I screwed the mounts through the holes on the stock grills so the tweets are sitting on top of them, sounds fine though.

So it doesn't interfere with the window? It still goes all the way down?

Yup, in my Jimmy there is a metal bar that goes right behind where the speaker is, the window lowers on the opposite side of that bar from the speaker and goes all the way down.

Cut an MDF baffle and toss the stock crap in the garbage, then put a generous amount of modeling clay all around the baffle and immediate area of the door. You should have also deadened it. glad you enjoy them, but they could sound better //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
