In-door component install help

[GemaRastem 10+ year member]

I am almost ready to install my rainbow slc 265's, but I have some questions before I start.



That's my door, I'm deadening the whole, what do I do about all the plastic, and should I deaden the front side or the backside? Do I just go around the bolts or what? And then I deaden the inside of the door too right?



I'm gonna put the woofer in the stock location, should I cut that grill off and make my own baffle and use the rainbow grill, or is it fine to just screw it into the stock location.



That is where my tweeter and crossover are going to go. I was planning on trying to fiberglass something into it to hide the crossover and hold the tweeter, does this look like a good idea? How would I attach the fiberglass holder in, should I just make something that slips all the way in, over the crossover, and then drill a hole for the tweeter mounting cup, or is there a better way of doing it?

thanks

by plastic do you mean the vapor barrier? If so, pull it down do the work and then put it back up. Use acetone or paint thinner to clean off all the goo it'll leave behind.

When deadening the door do you just cover all the holes and stuff? and why put the vapor barrier back on and would you put the deadener over the barrier?
