[QUOTE="Boulderguy, post: 2515685, member: 572916"] If it makes you feel better here's my recent stupid mistake. Front door panels have stock tweeter cutouts at the top, mids on the bottom. I pulled the stock tweeters & replaced the mids with components, putting the tweeter down by the mid, NOT the stock location. Did all the right stuff for install & by the book it should have been bulletproof. But never could get great midbass out of them. Just the other day I realized why - big hole in the door panel almost at ear level - the old tweeter location. Backwave was leaking thru & killing midbass! [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/redface.gif.62fdbfe1a101588a808c4cff71bcb942.gif[/IMG] Stuffed a foam disk in there, WOW what a difference. It's always the obvious stuff, isn't it? [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG]:D [/QUOTE]
