[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 4150620, member: 550915"] They're in the kicks so deadening the doors isn't going to make that much of a difference. Two issues. One, the kick pods probably don't have enough air in them for the bottom end of the speakers' response to be at their best. Two, they're only 5.25" midranges. They simply don't have the cone area to do much in the midbass realm. For real midbass you should go with at least 6.5" and 8s would be better still. If you like your current kickpanel install you could always install a dedicated set of 6.5" midbasses in the doors run off the other pair of channels on your 4 channel and cross them in the 250hz region on the top end. Would probably be the cheapest solution and one that's likely to yield very good results. [/QUOTE]
