[QUOTE="DARKHART, post: 8527774, member: 544747"] I'm on my 3rd e39 and have literally torn the interior down to bare metal including completely removing the dash and putting back together, my latest one a 99' 540i6 hasn't had vapor barriers in the doors for about 7yrs and I have yet to have a leak from rain. Now with that being said I think Trumpet was only trying to offer you the solution that would have yielded the best sound for your situation because honestly the factory enclosures really ****. Building a simple flat mounting plate in the shape of the factory enclosure with a raised driver mount and a foam coupling ring would have yielded a far better outcome while at the same time keeping your vapor intact.... I went from having a Focal Performance 5.25 to a Focal Performance 6.5 both of which were on flat plates to with the tweets in the factory locations to now a full blown custom 3way setup with Focal K2 6.5's in the dash, tweets in the a-pillars and PG 8's in custom sealed enclosures in rebuilt door panels.....I also have pictures if one would like to see....
