You running active? If not, you will want a component set.

Just curious, what's your highs amp going to be?

yep. that is a fine pairing. how good it sounds depends on what you do to your doors. i recommend fiberglass batt insulation in thin PVC bags (for water proofing) inside the door - as much as you can fit.

Hmm. I was planning on deadener and closed cell foam. Im not sure what that is Rich, any links?

What would be a good way to keep the insulation out of the way of the window?

I think that's with any install personally..... Tho I have heard a few cars with just basic good Quality door speakers sound pretty dammn good

There's non-fiberglass batt insulation here. It's stuff that's used underneath auto carpeting. Very dense fiber. Not expensive for 32' roll. Doubling up on sound deadener would be more expensive.

the fiberglass batt alternatives are also fine. either need to be protected from water. i secure the bags with aluminum foil tape to the outer skin to keep them clear of the window. aluminum foil tape sticks very well to vehicle metal. my build log has details.

seriously, it's probably the best addition to any sound system with door speakers. night and day improvement regardless of speaker quality.

I had also thought of something like this. I could make something that would work. Advantages/Disadvantages to either way.?

Do the baffles considerably increase dB? +3?
