[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 5106817, member: 549629"] Problem is, most car audio mids are designed to run IB in a car door. Mounting them in a small sealed box will make them grossly inefficient, and their low end response will suffer. Many of the kick panel installs are either ported (into the carpet is popular), or run midrange only in a 3-way setup. An innovative door install idea that gained a bit of popularity a few years ago was building small sealed door pods for the mid, then attaching a piece of hose to the sealed enclosure that would drop down in and lay in the bottom of the door. Its length could be varied to adjust for enclosure volume (and possibly hose expansion). Ive been wanting to try this myself, but Im a lazy bastard. For example, Im too lazy to dig up any pictures of the hose thing. But Im sure you get the idea. [/QUOTE]
