I have a set of 6.5" Components I want to put in my doors to fill in that mid bass that I lack.. I don't have enough room to do them on the kick plates so I wanted to put them in the doors.
I took the door panels off today to investigate my room required and so on,a nd found that I have PLENTY of room even after I do the modifications to the inner door skin and door panel...
BUT, I also people bring them out and build pods for them...
is there an advantage or disadvantage of both?
What I'm working with
Door Skin thats currently rectangle, I will make it a circle. for the basket/magnet to poke through
My door panel, with the lower section is about an inch and a half thick as well.. I have about 3" of room between the outter door skin and the magnet... AND I took the picture with the window all the way down, so I know it will fit
Bottom of doors used to be plastic/Carpet but now are Wooden and Vinyl, so modifying them is no problem
CLIFFS:
My question is, am I ok putting it in the door, or am I better off making a fiberglass pod for it?
and yes I know theres an ugly red wire back there, I was re-wiring my door opening solonoid as well (shaved handles)
