[QUOTE="Gary S, post: 3233067, member: 568291"] why make the speakers stick out with pods if you don't have to? Wow, you have lots of room there. I would cut out a piece of 3/4" MDF to fit that square indentation and mount the speakers in that. I would also try to install it in such a way as to decouple it from the door, and decouple the mid from the wood. You can use silicone to make a gasket when you install the wood. Also, use zip-a-way removable sealant to make a gasket for the mid when you install it... see red devil sealant site to buy. The main reason people make door pods is to get more mounting depth or for show. Fiberglass can be molded into pleasing shapes... again, all for show, no go. Only advantage that a pod might give... if you could angle the drivers toward the listener's heads... but I can't guarantee it would make a worthwhile difference in sound - - another way to aim the drivers - you might be able to double up on the wood baffle on the door and just rouder it out so the drivers would be tilted up and back... that might be another option.
